What is this llama sh*t anyway?

As usual, I sent the ACO my order for camping tickets more than a year in advance. I was particularly keen to get the 2010 order in very early because I'm fed up being fobbed off with tickets for BSJ and then told "other people got their orders in before you", as happened this year (again).
This time, the ACO has written back saying they can't currently accept my order and to try again in the Autumn. When I queried this (pointing out that an order placed in Autumn usually comes back with an eff off we're sold out message) they said the booking system was being changed for next year. Anyone else know anything about this?

Interesting definition of Autumn then...maybe a French microclimate? |

Although to be honest it makes little difference when you actually book. I've booked on the first day that bookings are taken and still been allocated BSJ!

We attempted to do this this morning and were told by the boss lady in the Rotunda: "Management have told us not to take any 2010 bookings as the system is going to change." She had no info as to how it will change, or when bookings will be taken. Make of that what you will.

2010 already ordered from those nice people at Just Tickets. When something is as important as your camping tickets you've gotta take the risk out of it. I know you pay more, but you dont end up at some godforsaken campsite miles from anywhere.
That said waiting to see what the ACO sends must be a bit like xmas !!!
