How does the waitlist work?

You'll land on the waitlist when an event is full or requires the organizer's approval. Spots are filled in the order people signed up.

What happens to my payment?

For paid events that need approval, your card is authorized but not charged. You're only charged if the organizer approves you.

The hold is released back to your card automatically:

• If the organizer declines you or you leave the waitlist — released immediately.
• If the organizer doesn't review your registration within 7 days — the hold expires and is released by your bank. We'll email you to renew it so you don't lose your spot.

Leaving the waitlist

You can remove yourself anytime from the event page. Any payment hold is cancelled right away.
