well, I'm VERY curious if there is already something known on the DfH order!!!
Ours arrived on Saturday - we got BN but are also on the MB waiting list - that's the first time that's happened that I know of.  Have you got yours yet, LT?
DfH and Team JPC have received their letters from the ACO and we have....................

Beausebloodyjour!!!!!!  >:( >:( >:( >:(

Horrific result indeed. Still a big thank you to Mr Termite for handing in our application!
Back to the drawing board - or should I say agencies :-\

I believe that the TL guys have already been approached ;)

Well done again for the ACO - for the 5th year running they have managed to ignore out 1st, 2nd and 3rd choices and once again sent us the option for places in Marsailles, sorry, Beausejour (despite our app going in on the dot of day one with Mr Termite) ..... Oh thank you great and good ACO ....

Off to the over-priced touts again ....  ::)

Cheers

For the last 8 years I've at least been able to detect a pattern (I've got my first choice having submitted my request on the day bookings opened) but not this time.  Ours went in together, JDS and I got my 2nd choice (bn) and am on the MB waiting list.  Mr T watched the woman write the date and time on all our applications, including DFH's.

I just think it will be such a horrible sight to watch Maison Blanche being half empty AGAIN during next year's race. Why can't these ACO people understand there are people that actually care about being at a certain campsite, instead of dumping the MB tickets onto racing teams (Peugeot) and agencies who ask for such high prices they never sell all the spots?

Utter thickness and arrogance springs to mind... :-\

Agree to that - but how can we get such a large allaocation at MB? Any ideas?

We get the Melans to dress up Rex as a Taliban suicide bomber and send him into MB with the Pope Mobil. Then all 400 of us follow in as the Bomb Squad ;D

Wait for it!!!


Are you ready??


Well, we got...................


Beausebloodyjour!!!!!!  >:( >:( >:( >:(

Exactly the same as we got offerd Mark. What annoys me the most is that I've had to buy tickets now from JT and when I called I got the: "well, we have a second allocation of those coming in tomorrow, so you can have those" which means that, as we all know, the ACO don't give a stuff about anybody other than the agencies and are allocating BSJ as 'default' for most I'd guess now ....

It has been said in the past, ACO do not want the hassel of dealing with 20,000+ brits and all that crap.  Sell the tickets to the 20 - 30 agency's and let them take the crap.

Simple, leaves them more time for their cheese and wine breaks.   ::)

erm , I actually got what I asked for this year, 1st choice BN. Faxed to them on the apparent 1st day for ordering and backed up with an email.
This is the 4th year that I've ordered direct from ACO (first time was in 2004).
Last year the only offered BSJ, so i was a bit suprised.
They want the payment a lot earlier this year though!
