ACO 2022

[Rick101]

Trying to suss out the ACO offering for 2022.

It used to be around 105€ for 6 discounted tickets and up to 3 guests in the members area for an additional 15€ each??.
Loads of other benefits but most useless for us Brits.

For a while it dropped down to around €75€ for ACO member ship and they reduced the discounted tickets to 2.

I've just noticed the membership seems to have gone back up to 105€, was maybe a COVID reduction?
Looking at the members area, despite it saying this is included the 'complete my membership page' where you can buy extras/upgrades shows it as 40e and another 40€ per guest.

Can anyone shed any light? Is this correct?

Its all as clear as mud isnt it! Anyway I think its around 75 euros, and you get 2 discounted tickets.

You can then buy all manner of other options.

I think it's saying you still need to buy a ticket for the race at €40, as do your guests. Not 100% sure though!

[Rick101]

I don't think so. Current rate for ACO is 105 and race tickets are 89.

Race tickets are entirely separate. This is for the members area.

I already have ACO. Just wondering if it's beneficial for the others in our group to add it. The ticket discount is still good but it's a shame the members area price has risen so much.

Looks like €105 with 40% off 2 tickets

I swear it's changed since I looked a few days ago!

Base membership now seems to be 65€

You can add extras at time of buying either Fan wall or Members area which brings it to 105€.

No saving really as they are 40€ if bought in isolation anyway.
As the 105€ package inc the members area that is comparable with the 'old' package.

So....the main material difference seems to be adding guests which was 15€ and now is 40€pp.

Ahhh, that makes more sense, thanks. It was always good value when guests only cost €15 but the increase to €40 feels a bit steep.

I guess too many people thought €15 to be able to use the ACO grandstand bar/toilet was reasonable

Isn’t the material difference that you used to be able to get 6 discounted entry tickets now you can only get 2

Yeah true. Had used that before when booking for a group.
