What the hell is this all about?
Anyone know how this will affect the ssale of extra tickets?

I hear they have reduced the size of it due to non-recognition of some areas in the zoning process. How will this be enforced?

I ask due to the nned to be in MB in 2007. Can anyone help?

I was generally trying to enquire if anyone had any spare MB tickets I could have, but never mind!

OK, the long and the short as in the Club Arnage thread. The ACO have written to "regulars" advising that MB is being split into zones A-E and asking for 1st, 2nd, 3rd choice for which zone they would like to be in.

There is a plan posted on the CA thread that shows the layout. The observant will notice that the space is used significantly less well than it has been in previous years and there are areas of the site (around the trees for instance) where no camping is shown at all. This has been raised with the ACO who say that camping will only be allowed where there are little squares shown on the plan.

The ACO do not intend to mark out pitches on the ground and allocate these (like Houx) for at least another couple of years at least.

I don't know if anyone actually knows what the ACO are trying to achieve. There are a number of suggestions: to avoid big groups hogging space, to ensure space for late arrivals, to provide fire lanes and access to all areas of the site, add your own suggestions.....

Personally, as you'll see from the CA thread, I can't see what zoning on its own achieves, especially if the pitches are not going to be laid out on the ground. The passes have always allowed 7mx5m of camping space so this could always have been enforced.

If you are a group of people who are not "regulars", it seems unlikely that, given the reduced numbers of places, you will get an allocation from the ACO. Trying to put together a group buying tickets from here, CA or ebay in the same group will be challenging to say the least...
