Hi Pat,

As far as I know, even if the number of tickets you've sold falls below the
original cap, as long as there are people on the waitlist then a new person
coming to the page can't buy a ticket directly, they'll have to join the
waitlist. I don't think it can happen that new tickets can get bought by
people circumventing the waitlist.

That's part one, but for part two, as Amy said, I don't think there's a way
to avoid having to manually release tickets from the waitlist.
