Title: Reducing ACO Allocation of Tickets
Post by: DelBoy on January 10, 2004, 06:24:04 pm
Just got my conformation letter from the ACO, and for once, got exactly what I ordered.

However, I booked for 9 people, but one guy cannot now make it, so I have a spare allocation of 1 general entry ticket and 1 grandstand ticket.

Is it wise to reduce the allocation, just ask the ACO to reduce the numbers and take the reduced amount on my credit card.  I am loathe to do this as, having got the requested camp site & grandstand, I don’t want to give the ACO any reason to screw up.

Anyone got any experience of doing this?  I know I can probably sell the extra tickets, but it may be difficult to sell only one grandstand ticket.

I am still waiting for a decision on my 1000 kms request for refund.......

So i would phone and have details changed quickly , dont let it go to long. The Grandstand tickets are very expensive.

If not i will swop a T shirt for the seat !!!!!!!!!

Depends what you might want to order next time DelBoy. I take the view, like you have, that it is less risky to change the order - however this year I let a 4 seat allocation in the finish line tribune go because having sdone it once, my ghroup weren't bothered to do it again.

Whereas the MB tickets, I have left the number unchanged as there is always someone here that needs one or two, if I don't (Robbo being the proud recipient this year).

I agree that a single grandstand ticket might be harder to get rid of though.

Thanks for the input guys.

I have decided to keep the allocation and sell the spares.

What I didn't mention in the previous post is that I have an ace up the sleeve - one spare MB ticket.

So I have for sale:
1 x Enciente General (serie A)
1 x Tribune T19 (thats the one next to the ACO stand - they have renumbered/renamed all the stands this year)
1 x MB

All tickets at face value (+postage)
I will split ONLY if I can sell ALL tickets separately.

Robbo, your name is on the MB ticket if I can sell the others.

DelBoy - you can also drop the tickets back to the ACO when you arrive and if they sell them you get the money...

Last year we had a spare general entrance and an ACO stand ticket. Ian B, informed this fact on the forum and both were snapped up in no time. I do not believe that you will have a problem shifting yours.
Good luck.
Brian.

Cheers.

JP, if you end up with a spare Houx Annexe pass you don't need, I will happily purchase it.

Our group has a late comer (problem making up mind) so that'll be 10 cars and I have only been allocated 9 Houx Annexe - so I need another.

Ta very muchly.

No Probs Steve. We requested 4 originally. Just that some of our guys fancy giving MB a try if we can get some permits. If we do then my 4 HA's will be available.

I'll let you know as soon as I know anything. So far I haven't had anything back from the ACO at all.  >:(

Smokie, if this results in a bigger waiting list for the WS, I think we may have to have a vote on it. ::) ::)

JP, could the logo read " Real men do it for ten minutes if given the chance to use this sock"also can we place an order for 6, when you have them made but we will only be able to pay you in euros.
Brian. :P :P

Would it be worth personalising them?

It would be some size, Smokie the moderator and Yabb God. I suppose you could just have Smokie on a normal sized sock.

All this talk of the WS has got me thinking. Maybe it's worth a design, and then Robbo could get it knocked up. Instead of the WS we could maybe re-christen it "The Mulsanne Straight" perhaps, or then again, "The Porsche Curves", depending on your state of arousal/inebriation I suppose.

But first I think I should post a few words of warning. I copy this from a paper published by Dr. Acton in 1857 and entitled "Functions and Disorders of the Reproductive Organs". He is concerned about the effects of masturbation and describes a young boy in his charge thus:

The large expenditure of semen has exhausted his vital force, as a result he has become a walking wreck.
The frame is stunted and weak, the muscles underdeveloped, the eye is sunken and heavy, the complexion is sallow, pasty or covered with spots of acne, the hands are damp and cold, and the skin is moist. The boy shuns the society of others, creeps about alone, joins with repugnance in the amusements of his schoolfellows. He cannot look anyone in the face, and becomes careless in dress and uncleanly in person. His intellect has become sluggish and enfeebled, and if his evil habits are persisted in, he may end in becoming a drivelling idiot or peevish valtudinarian.

Now, you can take that as a warning, or a description of one of your crew.
