Classic ACO membership

[spikep]

I see if I join the ACO I can get discount on 6 entrance tickets, but it also says that the paddock ticket is free. Does anyone know if that's 1 free paddock ticket For the ACO member or 6 free paddock tickets for the discounted tickets or free for all tickets ordered through them.

1 free paddock ticket per ticket ordered by the ACO member: if you order 5 GE tickets you get 5 free paddock passes.

That now looks like a good deal. Think I'll be joining the ACO today. Thanks for the info.

as already said you get discount on each ticket (max of 6) plus each grandstand and a free paddock pass for each ticket purchased, you also get a small discount on camping tickets, plus all the discounts on the main 24 hour race in June, so as long as you buy the tickets for your group and include a % membership costs in what you charge everyone then you will not be out of pocket and everyone gets a good deal

Check the deal, 6 discounted tickets bought anytime even on the weekend but IIRC free paddock for tickets bought before the end of December, may have been extended.

Thanks all, have booked everything now. I got 5 tickets with the paddock for 45Euro and then found out when I got the bill there was a 17% added on to my camping pitches as french tax.
The web site for Passion VIP membership says 14Euro discount on tickets and free paddock entry, but I only got 4 Euros discount. Has anybody questioned this with the ACO or did you pay 35 Euros?

How do you join ACO just out of interest? May be worth noting for future years!

I joined over the phone and the girl that delt with it was a Brit. You can join over the net on the ACO website.

Hello.
Did anyone find out if the free paddock passes have been extended.

There will be three of us attending and its looking like its not worth the membership fee without the paddock passes thrown in.

I find the ACO website a bit confusing.

Thanks.

You can join when you get to the circuit, if you want to. It can be a bit of a mission tho'.

[spikep]

As I said in my previous post, I used the phone and spock to a Brit girl. Give her a call and ask is the best advice I can give, then you can decide if you want to join.

[mango43]

Yes I shall try Monday as closed weekends.
I see a separate number for Brits.

I have no need for anything ticket wise, as they are sorted. Does membership of the ACO have any other benefits whilst at the Classic or 24 hour.

At the 24 hour it gives you access to member's enclosures, grandstand, showers and toilets and a discount on any of the stuff you buy from their [ACO]outlets (t shirts and the like). And you can opt for breakdown cover etc
