A fair waiting room when demand peaks

When a thousand fans hit your shop the second tickets drop, the queue makes sure everyone takes their turn, no crashes, no double-claims on the same seat, no angry buyers afterwards.

  • Fair first-in, first-out order
  • Live wait estimate for your visitor
  • Protects against server spikes at ticket drops
  • No double-claims on the same seat
  • Kicks in automatically under heavy load

From crush to flow

As soon as sales spike above a threshold, new visitors slide into a holding room. They see their position, a fair wait-time estimate, and come back into the shop one at a time when their turn arrives. Behind the scenes your site stays calm, no thousand simultaneous sessions on the same seat.

  • Visitor sees position, total in line, and wait time
  • Waiting room in your own branding & colours
  • Slot expires after 8 minutes, on to the next
  • Works with seated tickets & time slots

Built for on-sales and ticket drops

Not every event needs a queue, but the moment demand exceeds supply, it prevents chaos. Think theatres announcing their season opening, festivals running early-bird drops, or popular workshops with limited capacity.
