Time-limited ticket hold for registrations

Hi Zoom community

I'm considering using Zoom Events to run an free event with about 800-1000 attendees. On the ticketing and registration side of things, we expect there to be high demand and want to make sure spaces are distributed fairly.

I wanted to ask if the registration page 'hold' a provisional space for the user whilst they complete the process? On platforms like Eventbrite this is done with a time limit. 

Or perhaps is this a non-issue since users need to be logged in on Zoom to register for an event?

@Significant7 currently users can register for Zoom events with a registered Zoom account or with their email address. So the user does not have to be logged in on Zoom to register.

There is no 'hold' timer currently, Zoom Events can support up to 50,000 attendees so this isn't usually such an issue as you can scale the event to the size you require. If you still wanted the ticketing process to be the same as Eventbrite you could integrate Zoom Events to it using either the Zoom Events API or an automation tool such as Zapier.
