I am already onto that one. I Hope to have confirmed tickets already this year and still do not have any MB tickets.

And the total cost of the package is...? We paid GBP 913,- last year for four camping tickets and eight GA tickets. Whitey's bill should be somewhere GBP 450,- What a ridiculous amount for a camping ticket  |

The bill is £391, works out at less than £100 each. Not bad I don't think

I disagree. They start off as € 80,-, that's £ 50,-. Then they make you pay for additional General Entrance- and Hospitality Tickets, the latter are worthless to me as we never used them this year. The upside on JT is excellent service, friendly people and you can count on getting your tickets. It just seems a lot of money  |

Until the ACO work out a way that you can purchase tickets directly, instead of going onto a 'list' through which you may (or may not) get the site you are after, the likes of JT are going to be able to continue taking large sums of money off of those (like me and TTTD) who camp in the same place every year.
The one time we didn't use JT we got 3 Tertre Rouge and 7 BJ.
So we sold the BJ tickets and managed to get 7 TR ones from JT very late in the day.
It seems that the ACO are quite happy to run this proceduer and nothing will ever chane, so we just keep paying over the odds.

I think that this is the way with many sporting events etc. They do not wish to deal with the public on a piecemeal basis and are happy to let the agencies do it and overcharge us.
I once paid MRI £100 for a £25 MB ticket. Wouldn't you?

Two ways to look at it. Value for money - for £100, best part of a week's camping, a motor race and whatever the hospitality gets you is very reasonable, and I'd pay it. Rip off - because we know the face values. However to my knowledge you cannot buy any major concert tickets without a surcharge of some kind (Ticketmaster charged nearly £3 a ticket for my Christmas panto tickets - Oh no they didn't - Oh yes they did). These people are in it to make money. The peace of mind mentioned above can be priceless, and if I wasn't one of the lucky ones on the repat list I would be booking through JT too. |
