Those who have a priority status for purchasing Frozen 4 tickets should have received an email from the NCAA stating their priority number. You have until the end of July to dispute the number; otherwise all assigned priority numbers are final. This is in preparation for the new purchase system that will be taking effect.

Re: Frozen 4 Priority Number Confirmation email
yep, disputing a missing priority for 2004 which I had to dispute when I applied in 2005. Had the email from NCAA from back thenwhen they acknowledged awarding the point, of course the chances of finding a receipt from 10 years ago are slim... hope they take the correspondence from back then...

Re: Frozen 4 Priority Number Confirmation email
What year did the lottery actually start? I ask because when the NCAA announced the Priority Point System they arbitrarily set year 1 as 1997 (because, IIRC, that was the earliest year they had verifiable records), meaning the Highest Priority Number for applicants *already on record with the NCAA* = 16 as of the 2012 FF. I believe the lottery was announced ca. 2000, meaning the Highest Priority Number for first time applicants *as of the lottery announcement* would be 12 or 13 - is that right?
I'm guessing that the largest cohort of ticket applicants has this Priority Number, comprised of everyone like me who jumped into the lottery the first year it was offered and have faithfully requested tix each subsequent year (well, except perhaps for the FFFF debacle). The fortunate few with higher numbers - who'll have first choice of seat location - shouldn't have too much early competition, but that should ramp up considerably once tix are released to Priority Number 12/13. That should set the NCAA servers humming ...

Always remember... This is just a game we're talking about here. Let's not take it all too seriously.

Re: Frozen 4 Priority Number Confirmation email
I don't think the lottery was in effect for Providence in 2000. I remember that I went to purchase tickets a couple of weeks after they went on sale and it was already sold out. That would not have been the case with a lottery. Also in 2000 I bought regional tickets for Albany that guaranteed tickets to the championships the next year in Albany in 2001. I think St. Paul in 2002 was a lottery.

Re: Frozen 4 Priority Number Confirmation email
Is this number supposed to include the potential of buying for this year's 2013 FF or just 2012 and prior?
I ask because I am pretty sure my account has never purchased tickets and they sent me an email with a priority of 1. All of these year's we've been using my wife's account (she won the lottery before I did and we've been going with hers ever since to keep the priority going) and I think her number is right for just the prior purchases (Nine = 2004-2012). It just doesn't line up unless I am wrong about not purchasing tickets with my own account.
BTW, shouldn't we be hearing about future FF sites sometime soon?Last edited by Nick Papagiorgio; 07-10-2012, 08:04 AM.Originally posted by Greg Ambrose on 3/7/2010The fact that you BC fans revel in the superiority of your team in an admittedly weak league leads me to believe you will be more sorely disappointed when the end comes than we will.

Re: Frozen 4 Priority Number Confirmation email
With regard to the 2010 Detroit (Ford Field) Frozen Four ticket lottery, I seem to remember something about not losing a year's priority ranking for that particular tourney if you failed to order tickets for the event. I can't recall why the NCAA would have allowed amnesty for that tournament, but maybe someone can negate or confirm my hazy memory.LET'S GO BRUNO!

What they said was that if you already had priority points, and you went, you'd gain another. If you did not already have priority points and FFFF was your first, you wouldn't get your first one by buying tickets for the FFFF. The net effect is that if you skipped FFFF like I did, you lost priority relative to the folks who already had points and attended, but not relative to the folks whose attendance at the FFFF was their first FF.
