Waitlist on Events

We would want the capability to have a waitlist feature for events. Once the event exceeds capacity - we can waitlist individuals.
Automatic waitlist :
If any of the registered users cancel their registration, Waitlist #1 - gets an automatic confirmation email to the event (this is how an automatic waitlist works). Admins should have the ability to manually move users in the waitlist (For example - If waitlist #5 (Mr. John) is a donor, the admin should be able to manually assign waitlist #1 to Mr. John - so Mr. John can skip the queue)
Manual Waitlist :
Admins can see all waitlisted individuals and choose who to admit to the event
Important - The alumni should not be able to see who are the others on the waitlist. The waitlist should be accessible by admins only

Hi Kanhai, we would prefer not to take payment for waitlisted guests. I’d like to keep a chronological list with name, email and number of guests that I could either manually select people from the waitlist or use a first form first served process that would email the next person on the list and give them the option to register. A max number on the guest list is nice but not necessary.
We currently do not use Almabase events for our event registration. We use Cvent and they offer this functionality. Thank you for considering!

Erin Kinney Thank you so much for submitting this feature request. I have some questions to understand the details of the waitlisting workflow
1) Would we be still requiring them to make ticket payments and register how a normal registration would go through? I am trying to understand this because this because if they don't go through to successful registration, they will have to be refunded
2) Would you want to have a maximum limit on waitlist as well?
3) How are you managing this workflow with current set up on Almabase?
