‘When we opened COVID vaccinations to 16-29 year-olds, we turned to Queue-Fair for help, who quickly set us up with a fully branded Virtual Waiting Room. That afternoon, Queue-Fair fairly queued 450,000 people for us. Queue-Fair meant our system was able to accept bookings at a rate it could handle, without overload. We're very grateful for the exceptional support from Queue-Fair, and we launched with great success. The queue worked perfectly, and helped us to overcome a punctual uncovered technical problem that otherwise would have ruined the campaign. Thank you very very much Queue-Fair for your offering! It’s much appreciated. Queue-Fair saved us!’

Alejandro Lara

Website Project Manager EJIE

‘Excellent support. Our business has complex commercial demands and the high traffic to our site at specific times and dates was causing huge problems. Queue-Fair now manages these effectively and we have control of the flow of sales. The immediate support available over the phone is brilliant - the Queue Fair team has gone out of their way to problem solve and assist.’

Sophie H - Head of Digital Sales

York Ghost Merchants

‘Reduced the stress of our online store launch day! We launched a brand new website on the same day that we opened for orders this year. Launch day provides a huge rush of customers to our website and having Queue-Fair in place helped us to feel at ease throughout this experience. We received zero emails from customers about the queue (which we attribute as a sign that it was all working well). The queue was easy to integrate into our website. Our experience with the Queue-Fair team was smooth and professional, and best of all our customers had a great experience! We appreciated the peace of mind that having Queue-Fair provided.’

‘Queue-Fair was just what we needed to manage traffic and the support service is great!. The system has worked very well! We looked for several companies and without a doubt we have found the best! Thank you very much, Queue-Fair!’

Hernán Bonavota

Software Developer Rezolve

‘It just works! That was the easiest launch we've had this year by some way. We sold out of our four main products and made 20% more than projected. The queue system enabled people to feel they had more time to shop so they added other items to their basket. Watching our launch in real time has given us a major insight into our future product launches too.’

David Etherington

eCommerce Chief Herdy

‘Just what we needed! Feedback was really good and Queue-Fair worked how we needed it to. If you've got thousands of people hitting refresh on a large ticket onsale you need a safety net! The costs of having Queue-Fair compared with the costs of database issues or dealing with angry customers means it is a no brainer. We're really happy with it!’

Jonathan Noone

Projects Director House of Code

‘We have events which are extremely popular resulting in large numbers of people hitting our website at one time. Queue-Fair helps manage that, solving the problem. We best liked the support during set up and the ease of use. We recommend Queue-Fair because it is an excellent alternative to other queue providers, offering excellent support.’

Mark Hope

Are traffic overflows costing you customers?

When traffic exceeds capacity opportunity is wasted. A Queue-Fair Virtual Waiting Room means your site or app can serve more people, without the risk of crashing. Remember a downed server serves no-one!

Get Started

Why are Virtual Waiting Rooms used?

Websites, apps and web services are provisioned with a specific capacity threshold in mind, but when the number of simultaneous users exceeds the capacity threshold, pages become slow or fail to serve at all. All webservers have limits on the number of website visitors they can handle, server scaling and auto-scaling is often technically too challenging, expensive and cannot respond quickly enough to handle sudden spikes in active users, or is not needed to stay online all year round.

That's where our virtual waiting rooms come in. By queuing excess website visitors and passing them back to your site in a steady, first come, first served order, our virtual waiting room helps maintain website responsiveness and avoid crashes during high demand situations. Try Queue-Fair today and see the difference for yourself.

Look no further than Queue-Fair's virtual waiting room software. Our solution is the most secure and accurate on the market, allowing you to maintain optimal transaction rates without the risk of website crashes, slow page load wait times, or frustrated fans and visitors.

Our system provides a fair access solution for everyone to access popular events or products by implementing a virtual queue that assigns a randomised queue number to users who are scheduled to arrive before the sale begins (arriving early visitors), so everyone has an equal chance of being at the front of the queue. This ensures that scalpers and touts can't gain an advantage by arriving early, and that your genuine fans are given the equal chance access they expect to buy tickets to your event or purchase product when the sale begins. Once the queue has opened, it's fair first in first out order for everyone who then arrives.

Even during unexpected traffic spikes, our virtual waiting room helps you manage traffic inflow and avoid downtime costs of losing visitors. Queue-Fair is also the only Virtual Waiting Room solution that smooths momentary peaks into troughs for optimum performance when you are close to your max capacity. By identifying high-traffic hotspots in your traffic flow patterns, you benefit from informed decisions about server scaling without losing your revenue from visitors or incurring unnecessary downtime costs yourself.

Don't let website crashes or slow page load times tarnish your reputation. With Queue-Fair's virtual waiting room, your visitors will be able to see that their requests are being handled swiftly and fairly by our waiting rooms, with their own estimated wait time and with unrivalled responsiveness of your websites and apps. Our secure signature for all visitors arriving from the virtual line ensures that customers can only purchase once per queue position, and that malicious bots are denied access with virtual care for real people.

Best of all, you can get started for free with unlimited capacity. Let Queue-Fair help you sell more effectively and provide a better customer experience for your visitors today.

When managing peak traffic during ticket sales or high-demand events, having a virtual waiting room process is crucial to provide your customers with a smooth and fair customer experience, for your customers, especially when the sale begins. Rather than seeing blank pages or experiencing slow loading times, visitors will be queued fairly and orderly, allowing them to wait patiently for their turn to access your site in the virtual line, with their own estimated wait time and without the dreaded refresh-refresh-refresh that kills your servers. They can stay online or go away from the queue and come back - everyone's place is saved in our first in first out virtual queues.

Queue-Fair's virtual waiting room is not only an effective solution, but also highly secure for all high demand situations. With a unique and unsharable signature for each visitor, we can ensure that malicious bots or scalpers cannot bypass the queue and buy tickets multiple times, leaving more room for genuine fans. Additionally, we can only allow one purchase per customer by deleting queue positions after each completed order, so fans must queue up again if they want to purchase more tickets.

Our Join Token system also ensures that each customer only receives access to one queue position per person in the ticket virtual waiting room, regardless of how many browsers or devices they use, giving you control over everyone having a fair chance to access your event. With advanced filters to prevent bots and malicious users, Queue-Fair's virtual waiting room is the most secure and effective solution for handling high traffic during ticket sales and other high demand situations.

How are Virtual Waiting Rooms used?

It automatically activates the virtual waiting room the moment the peak traffic exceeds the capacity threshold, ensuring that your visitors won't experience long wait times or server errors. Additionally, our system turns on the moment you need it, rather than waiting for several minutes of high traffic. This means that your visitors remain unaffected affected by sudden spikes or unexpected spikes in traffic and will always have a smooth and fair customer experience when accessing your site.
