A C O worth joining

[TuxMan]

Looking at the ACO website they offer some pretty good stuff along with some discounts , just wondered if anybody has joined and was it worth the cost ? . We are going too the Classic this year and the info on the website is referring too 2012 .

When you order 4 or more General Entrance tickets it starts making sense getting the VIP package, especially when you get camping ticket(s) also.
6 entry tickets is break even.
But I got it also for the other benefits:
-discount at the club/shop
-innercircle guided tour at the scrutineering
-member package in November or so with all hour by hour standings, poster, stickers, etc.
-2 weeks earlier booking for members compared to 'plebs'
-have a shot at decent campsites instead of BSJ
-ACO grandstand entrance (You still have to buy tickets, mind! I don't bother, but for many this is very important)
-entrance to the ACO enclosure on the inside of Dunlop curves
As said, from 4 tickets and up the plusside of becoming a VIP member starts outweighing the costs! (in my humble opinion that is)

As vince says if you are going as a group and the costs are passed on to the others it can make sense financially especially if you do both the main and the classic

You can sign 3 people in per membership at the ACO place by the Dunlop bridge. Its 15 Euro for the duration of the week while you are there. That gets you into the ACO area's and facilities at T18 etc
