My ticket form matches the "result," if it is in fact that organized, that
Tony reports. That is, I attended ONLY the final four in Boston in 1998; I
recieved my order form today, and it has a priority number starting with
"E."

So if there is some sort of logic to the lettering, E would seem to mean you
have attended at least one final four in the last five years; it doesn't
have to have been the most recent.

Lets experiment. I got two 2002 ticket applications. One has a "Priority
Ticket Renewal" number that starts with the letter E and the other with the
letter B. Since this is a five year priority ranking, I'm assuming the E
letter is for Albany tickets (only) while the B signifies that I've gone to
every one of the past five save for Providence. Can anyone else verify that
the letter is inversely related to the number of years of previous ticket
purchases, (i.e., E=1, D=2, C=3, D=4, and A=5 years of continuous ticket
purchases).

This difference, if it exists, could be very important to people sending in
group orders. For instance, I want 8 tickets anyway and I'd rather send the
order in seperately so that the 4 under the B letter have a better
probability
of winning a lottery than sending (4 or) 8 under the E letter. The risk of
setting in seperate parts of the (wonderfully beautiful) arena is less than
the risk of not getting seats at all.
