Slightly off topic - anyone bought their grandstand tickets as 'E tickets' over the last couple of years? I've still continued to buy the proper tickets for our start-straight grandstand, and paid the rather overpriced €20 postage fee. Anybody had any issues getting into their grandstands with home-printed E tickets?

Cheers

Easy. And you can reprint if you lose / destroy by mistake.
Only downside is they're not pretty for adding to a collection if you are keeping your tickets every year.

Cheers! No issues on the gate? The first year they were offered, I feared I'd just get turned away at the gate if I arrived with a piece of A4! But they've been around long enough now there should be no issue?

I've done it last 2 years now. Silly paying extra for a 'proper' ticket and you get them instantly, avoiding any postage issues.

I had the same worries that someone would question the print out, but all they are interested in is the bar code pretty much.

I also trimmed the ticket right down to the main ticket bit and laminated them. They then fit inside a ticket holder. Absolutely no issues using it like this and of course it doesn't get scrumpled up or wet. (I had a set of A4 versions in my bag, just in case, but no one even gave them a second glance).

Due to ACO website problems yesterday, i.e. everything shown as sold out except for Arnage we ended up ordering these rather than having none at all, later on it showed BSJ as having tickets so we ordered these and we now have 5 Arnage 2017 camping tickets available.

The ACO wont accept that there was a problem and wont accept a return.

Just need to recover the face value of 285 Euros which includes Courier to UK.

I now have 3 Arnage 2017 Camping tickets left at £53 each, which is what they cost me.

Any questions, just drop me an email to phil24brown@yahoo.co.uk or message 07940 838504.

I can accept PayPal if that helps anyone... Phil
