Have you guys got your actual camp site requests confirmed?.

I've received the annual 'we have your request but are not going to tell you which camp site (usually Beausejour) we are putting you in until next April/May' letter. At which point the negotiations and wheeler dealing begin to get us in Houx as requested.

I´ve got mine also, sent ACO mail request on April 1. As in previous years campsite is not allocated with this acknowledgement. Must wait a few months before ACO informs you that your requested campsite is booked full and they have allocated you something other.

Campsite booked for 16 tents
Grandstand and entry booked for 24 bodies
Provisional ferry sorted for 16 cars

I understand that some of the allocations outside of the ACO are already sold out. Perhaps I should also book for 2006 whilst I'm at it.
Does it really only have full throttle

HHHHHHHHEEEEEELLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-[

I attempted to book tickets but having lots of trouble finding any! The ferries have slapped on an £150 surcharge per person and i am not amused! Have joined ACO in the hope of getting tickets, but only time will tell if i actually get what i want.......anyone got any advice for getting general entrance tickets and a little spot on MB?! It was never this difficult a few years ago...where have all these people come from?!!!

The 11-12 June seem to be the best guess. There is no football or elections etc to cause the date to move it from its normal sequence of the 24th weekend of the year.

Camping booked, but wary of the aco allocation situation and the availability of the houx annexe site next year.

Not sure why I bothered booking as CA & e.b*y where awash with bargin passes this year.

Some people will tell you that slow is good - and it may be, on some days - but I am here to tell you that fast is better.

Got my confirmation from Just tickets. Traditionally pay more but never been let down yet. There is always time though......

Also booked the ferry even though I don't know the cost yet (how silly is that!)
