Doors open at nine. So does the list.
Opening hours per weekday, a total cap for the venue, and a closed state that shows the next opening. Guests join from the poster's QR code and see their number.
Rooftop Sessions
Secret shows above the city. 200 spots, names in order, door list at 8.
The problem
Names come in at 3:00 AM and the venue holds 200
A gallery night, a secret show, a rooftop screening. The Eventbrite page is open around the clock, so half the names arrive when nobody can answer. It keeps growing past what the room holds, and you find out at the door with a clipboard.
The recipe
Exactly what the button sets up
Capacity, reset time, opening hours, and the form fields. It is a starting point, not a cage. Every value is editable in Settings and the builder.

How it works here
How the list works
Opening hours
Thursday to Sunday, 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM. The rest of the time the form is politely closed.
Venue capacity
200 for the room. The list closes at 200 and reopens if you free a spot.
QR on the poster
The hosted page is the link. No site required.
Ask for +1s
A number field for guests, a dropdown for the night, a checkbox for age.
Notify the door
On Pro, webhook new names to a Slack channel or a Google Sheet for the door list.
Export the door list
CSV in order of position, with every field.
Why it holds up
What matters most
The closed state is a promise, not a wall
"Opens again tomorrow at 9:00 AM", computed in your time zone, shown in the guest's.
Capacity holds when the poster goes viral
The 200th spot goes to one person. Everyone after sees full.
Every name is a real person
Captcha, honeypot, and rate limits keep scripts off the list.
The form matches the poster
Colors, radius, and font are tokens. Set them once.
FAQ
Questions people here ask
Can I run several nights from one list?
Add a dropdown for the night and export by that field. Per-night capacity needs a list per night.
Can I add names by hand?
Not in the dashboard yet. Submit them through the API with your key.
Do guests get a ticket?
They get a position and a success screen. Tickets, check-in, and payments are not part of the product.
