Agency prices
« on: March 26, 2008, 12:49:42 pm »
Ticket agents charging over the odds is a common occurance but £120 for a GA is taking the piss.

And I would have to consume vast quantities of wine and food to justify spending £1055 for hospitality when there is not even a free bar. But I suppose you do get a garden ::)

Well, I guess there are people out there that will pay the prices they ask!  Some people just prefer to buy via an agency rather than trust the lottery of buying direct from the ACO...

But they are some of the highest prices I've seen, we've bought 2 GA, 2 ACO Stand and a Parking Blanc for €330 from the ACO direct, they want £620 for the same (with Blue parking)!  I think I can manage without the garden and Marquee, I'll just use the ACO Club facilities instead....
Of course I buy green cars, my Aston is green, my MGB is green, my Disco Sport is green,  oh, that's not what you meant by green?
