The Great Houx Annexe Ticket Shenanegan
Discussion
Firstly can I say not to move this to the Le Mans section as I believe it is more relevant here.
The only reason I posting this is because I'm pretty annoyed with the rediculously over-inflated prices that these tickets are selling for. I know that the demand is high for them, but the prices that they are fetching is insane.
A Houx Annexe camping pass from the ACO is €43, which roughly equates to around £20-odd quid right? Most of the ones on ebay are fetching 5 times that amount. And I was recently offered one through a friend for £160 including general admission.
Okay, in the grand scheme of things 100 notes isn't a lot, especially if theres a group of you. But when you take the tickets at face value, its the biggest piss take in the world. I'm sure everyone knows the conditions of the site, and that its a glorified field.
I know that everyone will reply saying demand for them and blah, blah, blah, but its just not cricket.
I was offered another two tickets at £100, but its just too much for that site.
I thank you.

It doesn't matter how early you get in.
My mate is an ACO member and applied for his tickets for this year as early as he was allowed to. For the second year in a row he has put Houx and Houx Annex as his preffered sites but has only been offered Camping Bleu (last time) and Tecnoparc (this time) They have even given him two different prices for his Tecnoparc tickets.
Not a happy bunny but if he doesn't take up this offering this time it will be back down the food chain for him and the hope of getting the 'golden' tickets next time. So guess what he's going to have to do, yep that's it, join the hoard of Ebay sellers at a profit to sell his tickets and add more of his own hard earned (and that of other friends) to get the Houx/annex they really want - again.
