We got our GE's and camping tix (we just went straight for BSJ as we knew the system would f**k us if we tried anything else) - but it was an utter faff coordinating the purchase between four people across three countries due to the stupid limits the ACO have put on ticket numbers now !!

Odd, got my camping & GA, went back to look at something else, got timed out but it left me in the sales section, didn't throw me out.

And yes, I did cave in and decide to go. But I came up with a cunning plan which meant that I didn't need a Tribune ticket to cover my mobility issues or be on one of the expensive campsites!

That was seriously nerve-wracking.  Managed to snag 4 full week entry and T17 tickets, parking and a camping spot for my pal out at Mulsanne (he was happy with that).  Still shaking.  Last year I was all sorted by 9.20 am but it took me nearly an hour this year using two accounts on separate browsers!  Thankfully I didn't get chucked out other than very early in the waiting process at about 8.40.  Any members who have not got in and made purchases by now are likely to be disappointed, I fear....

I must of been lucky - although as members of my group had not replied to my email my requirements were limited!

Got 2 tickets in Parnorma and 1 camping pitch on Houx Annexe - never camped there before but wasn’t prepared to pay twice as much for Epinettes.  Hadn’t realised there was a lake next to it, so might be a bit close to that!

Next trick is to sort out ferries. Now do I allow for stirring in the campsite not being allowed out, or will it be 2 hours this year or no hours! 😂

Hopefully not in the part that floods in case.

Yes, the smaller Hippodrome pitches have a separate parking area away from the pitch - as I recall.

A bit of a bun fight, as it was this year.
Got my 3 PC's logged in to each of our 3 ACO accounts (I didn't check whether it was pre-requisite to be logged in in order to make your order?), waited from 9am to 9.35am  in the queue.

Managed to get 4 x MEMBERS PRICES (GE and GS) on each card - YES - 4!
12 x Barnato T14, but not all in the same place (6 together and another 6 a few rows away in groups of 2 within shouting distance)
6 x BSJ Camping.

Checked it all out no problems.
