READ THIS:
A Wizards Tournament ticket INCLUDES a TPF2023 weekend pass.
You may only buy one tournament entry at a time. You cannot buy multiple tickets in a single transaction.
Women’s and Classics Tournament tickets do not include a TPF2023 weekend pass. All tournament players are required to have a TPF2023 weekend pass (or day pass for each day playing).
If you buy a Wizard’s Tournament ticket and also have a weekend pass by another means (ie: you are an exhibitor or vendor or you are Steve Ritchie), bring a friend so they can watch you dominate!

said 100 remaining entered in all my cc info and then nope denied… Oh well saved me some $$$… Good luck to those that made it in. Have no incentive to go on waiting list as the classics and waiting list are at the same time. If I go I want to play in both.
I’m number 16 on the waitlist and also purchased my Classics ticket on the advice of Colin (LOL). Historically how far down has the waitlist gone in the past?
2022 was a bit of an anomaly… because COVID and missing two whole years.
In '22, the last player on the waitlist that got into Wizards was 56th on the list.
YMMV
Regarding the waitlist, I was pretty far down in 2019 and they eventually did get to me, but I was unable to attend by that point. Pretty sure it was at least 50th if not further.
Have no incentive to go on waiting list as the classics and waiting list are at the same time. If I go I want to play in both.
