turnaways
Refused admission count
Turnaways are people who are refused entry or service, typically because a venue has reached capacity or they lack proper credentials.
The term appears in contexts like crowd management and business analytics: The concert had over two hundred turnaways.
A turnaway can also be the act itself—being turned away.
