> If there's a long line of people waiting to get in already. A long visible line coming out of the door, makes more people want to know about it and in some cases stand in line for it.

I think this is the main point, if you have a way to let people know how long the queue is and where is your position in the queue, it might actually work.

I doubt a simple number will be effective, because you lose the human element. The physical presence turns a waiting list into a social event. Maybe if you could somehow interact with the people already in line.
