I have a website that is designed for Obstacle racing. We have people signing up to register for a race, currently there are wave times that people can select when registering (eg start time of 9am, 9:10am, etc) At the moment we have problems with people trying to register in times that are already booked out.
Would the Seat Charting add-on be a good solution that would allow people to reserve their spot in a wave? and then show them when a wave is booked out?

Hi Debbie,
The seating chart is a possible solution, but in my opinion over complicates things.
Quick question do you allow group registrations or just single?

Hi Tony,
Thanks for the quick response. We do allow group registrations as well as individual ones.

There is actually an experimental option to set registration limits on time slots. (Event Espresso -> General Settings. ‘Use registration limits on time slots?’)
So if you have 5 time slots, each allowing 10 attendees, you set the total attendees to 50 and then each time slot to have a Qty of 10.
Unfortunately this doesn’t work well with Group registrations as a group registration is classed as one, meaning if someone books 10 people on a time slot in a group registration, the limit drops by 1 rather than 10.
The seating chart needs each attendee to manually select a ‘seat’ meaning 10 attendees = 10 individual seat selections.
The only other work around I can think of currently would be to create individual events for each time slot, allowing you to control the attendee limits for each.
