Reducing ACO Allocation of Tickets

[DelBoy]

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.

Delboy, can I put my name on the MB camping pass please if Robbo doesn't need it  

Similarly if you have an extra spare one Smokie!!  

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.

Don't worry Bri, we'd bring our own!!   Trying to get some CA logos printed on to them as we speak

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.
