Anyone booked with TD and still not had confirmation of their crossings yet?
We’ve been booking with them since 2013 and this has been the worst for communication ever.

Yep i sent them an email last night too
Replied and said they are in process of sending them out.
Balance supposed to be paid in March, bet they will want that promptly haha
Communication has never been this bad, concerning really isn’t it?

Agree!
We like the Porsche curves site so no option other than them!
We might have to rethink for next year though!

Bit concerning considering balance is due early next month.
Glad we aren’t the only ones waiting though.

WTF I was under the impression they had booked the crossings up months ago.
I’ll be fuming if we don’t get the crossing and cabin that we requested seeing as they have had our deposit for MONTHS!

They said the same to me in an email last week.
Not really happy to pay my balance until we know we are on the crossing we want!
So annoying as we like the Porsche curves site for location. That’s also gone downhill since the takeover though.
Guess we’ll be looking elsewhere for next year :-/

Can’t see they ever happening.
Even before the takeover they moved all the bar and toilets/shower area to the bottom gravel. They would lose loads of camping spaces if they have to fence it all off again!

Anyone received their ferry booking confirmation yet from TD? I’m starting to get a bit anxious, especially as they want final payment in 2 weeks time.
Same we’ve not yet had ours and really not happy to settle balance without knowing what crossings we are on!
Communication is terrible from them!

I have just called TD. They have supposedly done everything their side and are waiting on Eurotunnel confirming bookings and there is a delay as Eurotunnel have "a lot going on". She said give us a couple more days, and then I said " so we should get confirmation by end of the week" to which she said "well I wouldn't want to commit to a date". Continues to feel very disorganised. More frustrating when I could go on line and book them myself so can't see how Eurotunnel would be delayed in confirming even with bulk bookings?!

When she pulled up our booking she asked me a vague question if I had completed all the documents they had sent out...well you should be able to see that surely?!!

st show.

Won't be booking with them again.

Well ours “should” be a ferry crossing not eurotunnel so wonder what the excuse will be there.

Total sh*tshow
I’ll be contacting them AGAIN and can’t see us booking with them next year. Which is a shame as we really like the campsite (even though that’s gone downhill too) location is good though!

Email bounced back. Oh. Dear.
Really? What from the standard contact email? Surely other people are having same concerns as us? Not see much over social media of concerns though, that’s why I came on here?

So.. after the email bounced back I posted a comment on one of their FB posts (polite) stating that their email was bouncing back and could someone call me. It had the desired effect because I got a message via FB messenger from them. They then deleted my comment. I sent them screenshots of the bounce back and they have said they will investigate the email situation and promised to call me in the morning. The reason I emailed in the first place is the balance they sent out to me today is incorrect!
So basically if you comment on the FB posts they’ll get deleted anyway. Hence why we are not seeing any other disgruntled customers
I’ve not had my updated balance or ferry confirmation
We asked for grandstands but not not had to pay for them yet when usually you pay up front for them.
All a big mess really ain’t it?

I thought the same but the won't budge from that process!! Nothing shocks me now!
All a bit concerning. I am really not keen on paying my balance until I get everything confirmed.
Shame as we really like the campsite but going to have to look elsewhere for next year!

I’ve sent a polite email to the escalation address now.
Hoping we can get this sorted by payment date.
Also wondering what the hell we are going to turn up to when we arrive frown
The campsite has certainly not been the same since they changed the event company either. Pay an absolute fortune too.

Yes even before the takeover there was an extra charge for arrival on Wednesday! Better check that ours is on there (eyeroll)
I have finally got confirmation of our ferry crossings (after chasing)

And yes the bar/food has defo gone downhill since the change of event company!

Seem to be in a similar boat to others with TD.

I've been ringing on and off all week to pay the balance. I've also emailed them asking to call me so I can pay. Given the questions over them I'll not be paying via bank transfer.

Up till now, their responses haven't been too bad as I requested a change of vehicle for the crossing.

Reading about the facilities being poor, I'm now apprehensive about proceeding with the booking altogether. We've not been before and is my Mrs first proper race event so if it goes to hell we won't be going again!
Are you on Porsche curves?
Last year was better than 2022 I have to say! Toilets and showers were bad that year. 2023 they were cleaned regularly and stocked up.

We don’t use the bar/food that much so didn’t really affect us.
Just the overall organisation that I don’t like
Same as you no way are we doing bank transfer, credit card only here
Also trying to get through to pay our balance in

Got my bill by email this evening. They have overcharged me by £4000. Travel Destinations are literally incompetent. Still no ferry crossings either. #shrug#
What the hell did they add on? That’s a massive overcharge

They used to be before the takeover. Nothing now on their site and a check of the ABTA website shows nothing for business name or postcode.
They defo were registered before the takeover but same I can’t see the info anywhere on the new site or any of the confirmations or T&C
Now we’ve given them our balance and starting to worry redface

I’ve also checked the parent company and nothing…..
I’ve even thought to check until now, I just presumed the bigger company would be covered!

Tickets and welcome packs etc supposedly being posted out this week.

That seems quite early so good if true.
Mine arrived today
No ferry details though………according to yesterday’s email they will be sent separately.
