Not only did I shred my allocation, I took it out and shredded the f**k*r again just to make sure.

I've decided that I will also do an impromptu firework display to congratulate those french fucks on their utter utter incompetence in the rotunda. Thats should liven those surrender monkeys up a touch  ;D

Hooray
Marvelous!

I promise I wont get fired from this one!! ;D

Finally got letter saying we've been allocated BSJ.

Hoping to swap for Expo at the Rotunda before putting a peg in the ground.

Why do the 'frenchies' seam to have a problem with organisation? They can't even organise an orgy in a brothel! As this disorganisation happen every year. Agreed that due to constructions is a bit different but if I find 'independants' in my regular spot I will be 'king LIVID.

At least there will be a load of CA'ers on BSJ to chat with.  Is anyone logging where on BSJ they will be camping? Is it marked out pitches etc?

If this happens next year they can stuff it. I'll only go to the classic and will be hotelling it.

Well from the results so far , it seems that there is only a 1in 3 chance of getting any of your requested sites and not even a 1 in 10 of getting your first! Damn ticket agencies.

Alright Stu, how goes things?

I believe you are right my friend. The idea of buying direct from the ACO to guarantee allocation seems to be slipping fast.

Early order with the agencies is the seemingly only way forward. At the moment SOME of them don't take the piss with prices. God knows how long that will last.

I fear this would be the last year without most of us resoting to ticket agencies. Now they KNOW that they are holding all the aces as far as decent site allocation goes they can set the rules. Don't be suprised to see requirements for purchase of multiple GE tickets (in sterling, not euros) before they will sell you a layby ticket etc. creeping in, even if the prices don't get inflated too much  :(
