Hi, David!
We do set a cap on some programs. But the recent one in question was set at 100 and we had 92 sign up, and then only a third of them showed up. We just got Communico, and haven't started using it for registration yet, so maybe that will help, rather than the way we are still having Chris Perry do it manually.
Nice to hear from you!

Can you cap your registration? Put a limit and then have everyone over the limit on a standby list. We do that and always have people calling in to cancel their registration. We automate all of this through Communico.

We are having the same issue in Williams County! We also are having the same person register 7 different people for every program, then not showing.
Any help would be greatly appreciated for us too.

Hello everyone-
We are having a problem with patrons registering for programs and then no-showing. I understand there will be some who are ill and can't come, but we recently had 92 people sign up for a Santa's Magical Christmas program in the Children's Department, and only 33 attended!
We have tried making reminder calls AND sending reminder emails (not with this recent large program, but with others), but that doesn't seem to help. We also offer other events that don't require registration, but some just really need reservations. Anyone have any ideas?
Thank you!
