The block booking is starting to look like one of those goodideas at the time things. I will more than likly book mine through the ACO - they came through in the end, and I booked late - but I will keep my options open. But any good ferry tunnel (private plane!) price offers that come by, please tell all.

Anyone know the ACO e-mail address offhand? i think I'll follow Smokie's advice and try through the ACO. I've no regular user status to lose as I've never gone direct before. So, if Smokie gets the tickets I can cancel the ACO, no problems!

I Smokie wants money up front, give a shout.

Cheers

If the idea of having a simple bank account is the best way to fit everyone, there's one solution to solve currency rate problems...

... just have a bank account in Euro !!! i'm the only CA member to have one but it could help you, I can be your man.

Concerning preventing payment, maybe some of us, the most reliable of course, can pay by advance for a quantity of tickets and a general organiser can sell them back face value one per one to other people...

... it never gonna be a problem to find someone wanting to buy MB tickets at face value.

I check my bank account and I'm able to pay for maybe 50 tickets if money is required asap... that's a part of the solution !!!!

If we are fortunate enough to get the allocation, I'll pay up front for all 300 on my credit card if that helps, on the understanding that everyone will pay me for them within the month so I don't get any interest charges.

er, are you sure, cos I make that roughly, allowing for wind, etc 8 bags.

And do you really expect this lot <pointing at shady Motley Crue> to all pay up in a month.

Hope fully We will be ok this year.  Got this emai from our group leader
"They opened the book on this years tickets on 1st May. My order went in
00:30 CET on 1st May (the advantages of working on Australia Time) for
7 Expo tickets."

That's a fair few Air Miles JP...

Thanks fot the offer.

One of my cars is at the garage today (OK, my daughter's Fiesta) , and Dougie just called me with progress. Happened to mention FoS then Le Mans, he reckons he knows someone who has just bought some land at Le Mans for camping.

I will find out more and report back, although it probably won't be trackside...but we could probably offer him a sell out in one go!

8 Bags??? Um, Err, Hmm. OK, you've got me???

Assuming people want the tickets, I would hope that they would all pay up within the month, otherwise we would have to look to sell them on elsewhere. The way the ACO work is that they send you a letter with your "option" on it. You then have two weeks to send payment confirming your requirements. So, that gives us two weeks to confirm who wants how many tickets before taking our full allocation from the ACO if people pull out.

Doh!!!  And me being a true cockney as well (born at Guy's Hospital which I am told is within the sound of the Bow Bells.)

Unfortunately my sums make it even more than that (50 Euros per ticket for MB plus crap exchange rate at present) but yes, I would be willing to do it if it helps!!

Sounds promising Smokie!! Even if it isn't trackside we coudl always look into a minibus service to/from the track. I'm sure we know a local entrepeneur who could arrange something  :)
