We were wondering how many sites have a website with a waiting room? If you do, what is the threshold before it kicks in?
Thanks
We have a website with a waitinn room - we turn it on when we know we are going to have a very busy on sale, so it is only on when we want it to be.
However we can set how many people can be on the site before they then queue in the waiting room. We vary this depending on how busy it is, but generally have it at 200 people in the site before they get queued.

Hi Julie,
We have a Waiting Room (in fact it's up and running today).
It's currently set so that 450 users can buy simultaneously online and the 451st customer will be sent to the Waiting Room.
The Waiting Room is currently set to hold 2,000 customers and is load-balanced (as is our website), giving a 'busy' page to the 2,001st customer in the queue.
Hope this proves useful.
