Title: ACO bookings - what did you get
Post by: redstu on February 01, 2008, 01:14:00 pm
I had asked for MB but got my second choice of BN (2 passes), with no third option - so I'm happy enough.
So what did you get?

I asked for 3 x MB in the "Termie" applcations.
But I got 10 x BN on the strength of my "special status" - which I didn't apply for - but nothing heard yet re the "Termie" application.

Got the CC receipt back from ACO today - very efficient. Just hope our places aren't too near to the dirt track entrance.

... too near to the dirt track entrance.
I have it on good authority that some people pay good money for that... ;D

Hi,
Got back from Hols and found the offer on my mat. BN not MB as asked for. But the rest is as requested 4 x ACO 18 and 2 x Lagache 19. Since I had no idea how long it had been sitting there I posted it straight back with verifying who will be going with my group this year. So I may well be trying to off load tickets in a few days time.

Finally got my allocation from the ACO in the post this morning. As expected, bumped all the way to BSJ so that letter went straight through the shredder. All I can say is thank F*** I thought to pre-book some tickets after the race last year with Just Tickets - at least we have some KN tickets ...

Not only did I shred my allocation, I took it out and shredded the f**k*r again just to make sure.
I've decided that I will also do an impromptu firework display to congratulate those french fucks on their utter utter incompetence in the rotunda. Thats should liven those surrender monkeys up a touch ;D
Hooray

Finally got letter saying we've been allocated BSJ.
Hoping to swap for Expo at the Rotunda before putting a peg in the ground.
Why do the 'frenchies' seam to have a problem with organisation? They can't even organise an orgy in a brothel! As this disorganisation happen every year. Agreed that due to constructions is a bit different but if I find 'independants' in my regular spot I will be 'king LIVID.
At least there will be a load of CA'ers on BSJ to chat with. Is anyone logging where on BSJ they will be camping? Is it marked out pitches etc?
If this happens next year they can stuff it. I'll only go to the classic and will be hotelling it.

Well from the results so far , it seems that there is only a 1in 3 chance of getting any of your requested sites and not even a 1 in 10 of getting your first! Damn ticket agencies.

Alright Stu, how goes things?
I believe you are right my friend. The idea of buying direct from the ACO to guarantee allocation seems to be slipping fast.
Early order with the agencies is the seemingly only way forward. At the moment SOME of them don't take the piss with prices. God knows how long that will last.

I fear this would be the last year without most of us resoting to ticket agencies. Now they KNOW that they are holding all the aces as far as decent site allocation goes they can set the rules. Don't be suprised to see requirements for purchase of multiple GE tickets (in sterling, not euros) before they will sell you a layby ticket etc. creeping in, even if the prices don't get inflated too much :(
