re: TAF payment didn't go through.. Only interested in getting Philanthropic points

Seems a little late to worry about that now, but since your not concerned about tickets this year, it's no big deal when your payment is made This Year.

If you want to get on the waitlist You need to join it no later than March 31, 2017. And your (TAF Donation) cut off for next years ranking is April 30, 2017. The Rankings will be froze after that date, then emails will be sent to everyone on the waitlist by mid-to-late June. You need to just focus on 2017 and You'll get your foot in the door. Get some tickets next year, don't keep putting it off.
