Enceinte Generale Serie-A and Serie-B

[LETTSY]

Hi all,
I have just received my tickets from the ACO.  I have got 4 Serie A and 6 Serie B General Entry tickets.  Apart from the 14 Euro's, what is the difference?

Cheers,

Lettsy

serie A is full-price ticket and serie B is ACO member-price icket

But yiou have access to the same places (not a lot in this case)

Hi Lettsy,

not 100% sure, but I think that Series B is a special tariff for A.C.O -members.

So you must be paying ACO membership. Which struck me as a good deal a couple of years back as it allows up to 6 (I think) camping passes and entry tickets, and if you required the full amount for your party you saved money before you even started (ACO membership being somewhere around £50).

Then you get the added benefits - (somewhat limited) breakdown cover in France, 10% discount on official ACO merchandise and access to the ACO members bar and facilities (for you and your family - strange how for these purposes only (!!)  my wife is male, about the same age as me, and so are my kids...still, we've never been refused entry)

However, membership gives you no preferential treatment when it comes to ordering your tickets apart from the price.

When I recieved my first membership cards the other day I got two both with my name on. Can only one person get into the bar area with one membership card. And if not has anyone ever copied one of these.

It's supposed to be for you and your family of up to 6, but as I mentioned they have always let our gang in...

Can't agree about the limited breakdown cover.  

I have been an ACO 24 member for two years.  last year the car died in the camp site. (the fridge blew up the engine computer!"  Rang the help line and bingo a brakedown truck arived took the car away and few hours later returned it with a new computer fitted and all it cost was a drink for the driver.

The only problem was explaining to a french breakdown driver in french where we were in the camp site
