This feature lets you set a **maximum number of guests** for your event. It combines all ticket and sponsorship entries to help you manage your event capacity easily. A field has been added under **Event Tickets** \> **Ticket Page Settings** \> **General Settings** called **"Ticket Page Guest Limit"** ![Screenshot 2026-02-05 155742](https://support.cbo.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-02-05%20155742.png?width=670&height=200&name=Screenshot%202026-02-05%20155742.png) --- #### How to Set a Guest Limit 1. **Go to**: `Event Tickets` ➡️ `Ticket Page Settings` ➡️ `General Settings` 2. **Find the field** labeled **“Ticket Page Guest Limit”** 3. **Enter a number** to set the maximum total guests allowed for your event. 4. **Want unlimited guests?** Simply **leave the field blank** to remove the limit. Ticket Page Guest Limit will default to Unlimited (the box is empty). You can also enter "0" for unlimited. #### Setting Individual Guest Quantities You can still set specific guest quantities for each **individual ticket** or **sponsorship** level. These limits work **alongside** your overall event guest limit to help you manage capacity. #### Lowering the Guest Limit After Sales If you've already sold tickets or sponsorships, you **won’t be able to lower** your total guest limit below the number already sold. *Example:* If you’ve already sold **20 tickets**, and try to reduce your event’s guest limit to **19**, you'll see a popup warning that you **cannot set the limit below the current number of guests**. ⬇️ ![Screenshot 2026-02-05 160108](https://support.cbo.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-02-05%20160108.png?width=670&height=301&name=Screenshot%202026-02-05%20160108.png) --- #### Adding Guests Manually You can also **manually add guests** from your ticket sales area: This is to add a guest to a ticket at no additional cost.  1. Go to **View Ticket Sales** 2. Click the pencil edit button on a ticket sale. 3. Scroll to the bottom and click the blue **“Add Guest”** button --- #### What Happens If You’re Near the Limit If your event has a guest limit **and** you're working with **RSVP tickets**, you’ll see a **warning message** when adding a guest that would put you **over the limit**. #### *This helps prevent accidental overbooking.* --- #### RSVP Users Can Bypass the Limit (With a Warning) If you have **permissions to sell RSVP tickets**, you can still **add guests** even if it pushes the event **over the guest limit**. ✅ You’ll see a **warning message**, but you’ll be allowed to proceed. *This ensures flexibility for permitted users while still giving a heads-up about capacity limits.* ![Screenshot 2026-02-06 125533](https://support.cbo.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-02-06%20125533.png?width=670&height=203&name=Screenshot%202026-02-06%20125533.png) --- #### RSVP Ticket Page Behavior When someone purchases **RSVP tickets** through the **ticket page** that would **go over your guest limit**, the sale will still go through ✅ However, a **notice will appear on the confirmation page** letting you know that the total guest count has **exceeded the set limit**. *This allows the sale to complete while keeping you informed about capacity status.* ![Screenshot 2026-02-05 160253](https://support.cbo.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-02-05%20160253.png?width=670&height=275&name=Screenshot%202026-02-05%20160253.png) #### Ticket Page Behavior at Capacity - If selecting a **ticket** or **sponsorship** would push the event **over its guest limit**, it will show as **Sold Out**. - If the **ticket type is still available**, but the **quantity selected** would exceed your event’s capacity, a message will appear to **inform the buyer**. #### What Happens in This Case? In the example below: A guest tries to purchase **2 tickets**, but only **1 fits** within the guest limit. ⛔ An error message appears, and the quantity is **automatically reduced to 1**. *This ensures guests can't accidentally overbook beyond your set limits.* When the maximum guest capacity has been reached, the ticket page will display 'Sold Out' for all tickets and sponsorships during the purchasing process (shown below ⬇️) ![](https://support.cbo.io/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-May-28-2025-03-32-29-8736-PM.png?width=670&height=415&name=image-png-May-28-2025-03-32-29-8736-PM.png) ![](https://support.cbo.io/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-May-28-2025-03-31-10-3331-PM.png?width=670&height=309&name=image-png-May-28-2025-03-31-10-3331-PM.png) -
