But boy do you pay for it. When I was ordering tickets this year I called them for a quote and they basically convert the euro prices to pounds, that's an impressive margin. And they charge a booking fee on top of that.

and to add to the will i / wont i get tickets thing, there's always a will they / won't have a postal strike, a farmer's strike and blockade the ferry ports...that always provides some useful last minute chaos.

Got my tickets today - I know Just Tickets make a healthy margin, but it's fair in my mind as drastically reduces the chances of being "at home" to Mr & Mrs Cock Up...
(PS I'm so excited, I don't know what to do now..)

Just Tickets do a great job, I've done the will they won't they bit with ACO, even joining the ACO etc. Its too risky.
Pay the cash and sleep at night !! You can't put a value on certainty.

Much as I hate paying the extra for Just Tickets, I don't think I could handle the 'stress' of doing it through the ACO.
So until they come into the modern world and allow you to book on line I'll just have to stump up the extra cash.
Surely it can't be that hard...

My tickets arrive from the ACO this afternoon, by a nice man from UPS. I got an email last Friday informing me that they would arrive today.

Well my tickets arrived about two months ago, almost before last years race in fact... I've even popped over to HA and staked my plot. The tent is up and the beer mountain reached 3 meters already...  Now stop it you lot... just 'cos you've got your tickets already, doesn't make you better people!!!  Sorry... just that this thread only serves to increase the tention of those waiting on the ACO etc.... And it's driving me CRAZY!!! Although I do have two camping tickets sourced this year. I'm hoping at least one will come good!!! I'm getting a little excited...can you tell?  |
