Overbooking prevention

Five-minute payment holds reserve places while attendees complete checkout, so you never oversell an event.

How it works

When an attendee starts the checkout process, a five-minute hold reserves their place. This prevents two people from buying the last ticket at the same time. If the hold expires without payment, the place is released back into the available pool.

No overselling

The system checks real-time availability including active holds before allowing a booking to proceed. When an event is full, the booking form is automatically disabled and a sold-out message is displayed.

Per-date capacity

For daily events, overbooking prevention works on a per-date basis, so each session has its own independent capacity tracking with holds.
