under Event at the moment which fits the bill.  There is
http://schema.org/EventStatusType which can be used for showing whether the
event is cancelled, postponed, rescheduled or scheduled: close but not the
the right values. Other than that there is, as part of Offer,
http://schema.org/availability which includes SoldOut, but seems more
geared to physical items. I don't see anything for event capacity except
maybe the http://schema.org/inventoryLevel property of Offer.

UC:

* "There are 100 seats over n different CourseInstances and then there's a
FIFO wait list (of people waiting for a seat in any section
(CourseInstance))"
