Is there a way to create a custom link/custom button to the Waitlist sign up page? I don't like how attendees have to click on Register Now button first (seemingly like it's still open/available) only to THEN get directed to the Waitlist page. 

Ideally would like the advise that the Event is full on the homepage without the Registration button anymore - and replace with a custom button to instead to sign up for the Waitlist. 

Any other who have done this?

Perhaps a weblink going to a new registration path?
Add: And a new Admission Item.

Oh, that is an interesting idea! 

I ran into the problem on my first hybrid event that the in-person registration is full, but since there is still room in the virtual registration path, the waitlist will not engage.  Anyone trying to register for in-person just gets an error message.  I put a note on the registration page that in-person registration is full, but that means there's no way to track a waitlist in case anyone cancels their in-person registration and a spot opens up.

Perhaps an alternate admission item specifically for waitlist, which requires approval prior to acceptance would be a good work around for that issue.

Depending on the error message, you may be able to edit it in language management,
