After the ticket on ebay saying the zones don't apply and Mikes post above, I emailed the Ticket office yesterday and the reply this morning say's
'Dear Sir,
Yes the zones will be used this year.
Best regards,'
So thats official unless someone else knows different.
Stu, that's entirely their response and to my knowledge it has been all the way along. We have an email from Feb saying the same thing.
Now whether that's what happens on the ground when we get there is of course a different question!
Mike - depending on how the space police work this year we have more passes than cars so we might be able to assist once we get there if you have a problem (we have 4 passes for 2 cars).
