For the third year running, my application has been refused.

I still wonder why they don't set up a system whereby people turn in their
applications AT (inside) the venue each year, and give them priority.

I've been to 11 of the last 12 FFs, but because I've been forced to go the
route of getting tickets from friends (and Hockey-L folk, bless you all)
for the past few tournaments, it seems the NCAA doesn't consider me to be a
"priority" fan.

To top it off, there are those who enter the lottery every year, get
tickets every year, and somehow fail to go every year. Then people like me
are forced to beg them for tickets. NCAA still thinks they're attending.

Lather, rinse, repeat.

At least they're "keeping my application on file in case additional tickets
are available." Joy.
