Each year I pay through the nose for camping tickets and end up with overpriced GE tickets that I have to try to sell on, so for 2008 I want to get my tickets through the ACO like the big boys!

When should I send the booking form for next year and what are my chances of getting 4x Houx passes on my first go?

Regards
Dave

Yep, send them the booking form NOW or give it to them in person at the Rotunde next week

And of course get yourself a copy of THE Guide which has a Chapter on the ticket process as well as description of ACO membership etc.

Yup print off last years booking form from the ACO site (follow the ticket links), change the date to 2008 and stick it on the fax machine NOW!  ;D

I know the internet is a mysterious and powerful beast, but how the hell did you know what I was having for breakfast?

Well, I've sent my fax in! :) Will wait and see what comes of it, do you think I'll get a reply by fax or by email?

Thanks for the advice and motivation and as an aside, the '07 guide is superb and money well spent, though as I pointed out when I sent a few bob in, the email address: ca.charity.fund@tmdg.co.uk. for paypal payments needs the final full stop removing from this page: http://www.clubarnage.com/caguide/ otherwise it won't work.


Thanks again,
Dave

Dave I doubt you'll get any response about tickets for a number of months and then in previous years it's been confirmation by post. 

Can you make the comment about the paypal account on either the Guide thread or by PM to Lawnmower Man and/or Werner?  thanks for spotting it!

Welcome to the fun of the ACO ticket lottery and to CA.  It is much more fun than just going to one of the agencies.  Just make sure when they do send you something that you respond to it and sort the payment out, otherwise you can be sitting there quite happy, without realising that the thing that seemed to say "your odrer is confirmed" also meant "pay for it by x date or your order is cancelled".  Enjoy,
