standing room

No seats left

Standing room is space where people can stand but not sit, typically when all seats are taken: It was standing room only by the time the band came on.

The phrase standing room only describes a packed venue or event where demand exceeds seating capacity, often used figuratively to suggest popularity or overcrowding.
