Changes to ACO Membership

[Chrisgr31]

The ACO are changing membership again. They are introducing 3 levels of membership, none of which appear to offer reduced price grandstands.

It’s slightly confusing what happens when you move on to them. Does it mean if your renewal is between now and ticket sale date you will be limited on the discounts?

This is the middle one and first option that gives access to early ticket sales. Discounts are mentioned.

Discounts on grandstands are not mentioned on the more detailed page

My understanding is that current renewals under old scheme, like mine, have same current benefits. On renewal in 2027 then it'll be choosing one of these three. Net new members are now selecting from this new scheme.

It's a net increase for LM24 discounts from previous, unsurprisingly

Last couple of times I bought tickets through my ACO membership a few years ago I was fairly sure you only got discounts for GE and camping. Then you got virtually the whole amount you paid for ACO membership back in the form of the discount for just 2 GE tickets. Any more discount and the model wouldn't have worked then. The GS advantage was being able to buy GS tickets in tribunes 17 & 18.

On the basis that the remaining GS tickets not going in block to manufacturer, major sponsors and private campsite/ticket vendors are pretty limited and sell out fast there's no rational for discounting those. And if they did you just pay more for the membership.

Thought in last couple of years the membership fees and benefits were tailored for Monsieur ACO and his wife (just 1 person to be added to Chappelle/ACO stand facilities and now only one goody bag (no bag now.!) and only 1 program.
