Yep Broken, there lies the dilemma.
I have a "standing order" with teh ACO which I am loathe to change in case it screws up next year's. Sometimes I have used ALL my allocation, most years have used much of it and this year hardly any. But I have to confirm and buy the tickets long before my friends make up their minds. Hence my surplus this year, all of which have gone at cost to people here.
You may have read elsewhere about the bulk purchase. Initially the ACO didn't take it seriously. I received no letter of allocation. I wrote to them in Feb asking, and they did say then that I could have 300 Beasejour tickets. But I think since the initial enthusiasm, we realised that although the regulars here might well want to camp together, they are usually part of a larger group who have their "set ways" and would not want to be herded into an unknown area. Plus of course no-one would be prepared to let their allocation go unless we had a definite allocation which suited them. And Beasejour wouldn't have done.
You are right, if the ACO were able to organise it better then the whole performance would rectify itself. That, unfortunately, is out of our hands...
