Cap Registrations for Events

Anonymous · ‎04-08-2011

There are many events in which having an unlimited amount of attendees could be a huge logistical problem. I'd love a way to cap the amount of attendees and automatically switch the landing page to a closed registration when registrations have hit its cap. Basically - "If list count = X, then show X landing page"

This was also discussed in this thead:

Surprised there is no traction on this, makes marketo events programs unusable for a lot of our off line events, we are forced to use SFDC for the cases where we want to cap events registrations

Should be standard option!

We run into this frequently.

When you do this, does the information flow into Marketo?

We have a custom "event" object in SFDC, it is synced with Marketo, we create an event program in Marketo with a trigger campaign "Was added to event"+ event name in constraint. It works for us, but it is rather cumbersome, so I am really looking forward to see updates on this from Marketo

Till we get this feature from Marketo, we are using SFDC to manage this. Not the ideal way but solves the capping issue for our roadshow and workshop events.

This is a huge need for our organization, as well. It's not shocking, but very disappointing to see that Marketo has ignored this for so years (this thread started three years ago!)

To those who've used SFDC campaigns, how do you set this up? We have up to 150 events in a 2 month period (we're an education nonprofit recruiting students). We need to be able to cap attendance because manually tracking this many events is impossible.

Also, does anyone know of any low-cost event management solutions that integrate with Marketo? We're at a loss because Marketo doesn't meet our needs and most events platforms we've priced are very costly.

Thank you to anyone who has advice!

Hi Alok,

Thank you so much for your response! Would you be able to tell me how you used an SFDC campaign to cap attendance? We're a nonprofit running 150 events in the next two months and we're in desperate search of a solution to limiting attendance.

Thank you for your help!

This is a great idea and we struggle has well with this.

So Marketo when is this going to happen?
