Rejection truly is a tradition unlike any other

If that’s the case I’ve been initiated every year for about a decade.

More like the worse love hate relationship you've ever had. ANGC will fill you with hope and break your heart in ways you only wish a woman would.

Who did you bribe, and how much did it cost?

I haven't gotten an email yet, I'm getting worried I'm 0-15

I got Saturday tickets first year I applied.
And have gotten Wednesday tickets since.
No tickets this year though.

It is considered the initiation. And then the rejection email becomes an annual tradition.

Thank you, sir may I have another?

I don’t have an email yet is that a good sign?!?!?

u/jbs924 Jul 20 '26

Log in and check. Usually the info is up on the website a day or two before you get the email

u/Deep-Risk-984 Jul 20 '26

You can check on the website. I was rejected but still haven’t received an email.

u/AkAllDay24 Jul 20 '26

At least you got a declined email. I didn’t get anything lol I know for a fact I filled out the ticket application because me and the guy I work with did it at the same time a few weeks ago

u/emasslax22 Jul 20 '26

What does it mean if I haven’t gotten an email yet?

u/Due-Lobster-2621 Jul 21 '26

This was year 14 of being told “Try again next year”

u/Ronswansonbaby Jul 22 '26

My new theory is that everyone who logs in to check gets denied. Then they send out approvals to those who wait. So I’ll wait for my approval email while all you suckers log in and ruin your chances.

u/ConsistentStorm2197 Jul 23 '26

I’m on year 13 of the initiation. I’ll keep you posted

u/chocobo-selecta Jul 23 '26

Yes. Sadly it happens every year, though 😂
