A second chance at a sold-out class
Joining the waitlist gives you the chance to be offered tickets if spots open up for your preferred class — a way to snag a seat without constantly refreshing the booking page.
How releases are handled
If tickets become available that match your group size, the operator will send instructions on how to purchase; the waitlist is the mechanism that connects released seats to interested parties.
Communication is the practical key
To receive any ticket-release notices you must ensure your contact details are accurate and opt in to text messages when providing your phone number — otherwise you may miss the purchase window.

What being on the waitlist actually feels like
Being on the waitlist is a passive, hopeful step: you sign up and await a targeted notification if seats open that match your party size; prompt action on receipt of those instructions is required to convert the offer into a paid ticket.
