New for September 2017-Queue-IT functionality
As more Students Unions are making the most of UnionCloud and their student engagement is improving, we are seeing more and more people trying to buy tickets to events as soon as they go on sale. As a result we've added a new 'queuing' feature to UnionCloud that places people into a queue when there is high demand for a tickets - in a very similar way that sites such as TicketMaster & Eventbrite do.
This functionality is available for all and switches on and off automatically based on how busy things are. When it's switched on, people are redirected to a holding page where they are told their place in the queue and approximately how long they have to wait. When it's 'their turn' the user is the sent back to the ticket page to select choose their tickets and complete payment.
