As you know the ACO members can purchase tickets and camping one week before the general public with a discount too. This year I have been informed that the ticket office is open on Tuesday 3rd November at 10AM (CET).
That will be a day, I suppose of the usual chaos, frustrations, crashing website etc etc etc Now you have been alerted (=warned)

Thank you GD.
My heart soars at the thought of ordering' just before my knees start to shake, my palms sweat and my stomach turns upside down at the thought of the IT (shudder)

Two years ago I tried the website but it didn't work so I phoned them and it worked a treat!

I've just checked that my login still works on the ticketing page.

Confirmed.. Tuesday 3rd for the members.

Mentally preparing myself for the chaotic day. But crossing my fingers the computer booking will work this year.

Bonus I've got the day off so don't need to worry about sorting it in work time!

Good luck to everyone.
After 18 trips in 20 years we're calling it a day. We've driven every possible route from England and three times from Spain always extending the race weekend to initially five days in 1996 and then anything up to three weeks when we drove from Spain.
As I said good luck to everyone and enjoy it. I'll be checking out the coverage on Eurosport.

I suspect I'm coming to the same conclusion as Davwlk.

Been going since 1996 always with a grandstand seat. Problem is the old knees and legs are having problems getting up and down the steps and walking from La Raccordiment to Tetre Rouge etc. Last year was OK...luckily the seats were in the top row where the stairs came right up in front of us so I was able to stretch out easily, but if that had not been the case I could have been on trouble, maybe.

So, I'm contemplating whether or not to renew my ACO membership, due this month. I probably will not. Eurosport and RLM for me from now on I suspect, sadly.

Off topic, but I have a German friend who wants to take a camper van to the Classic in 2016.

Does anyone know when the launch dates are for these spaces? Are they sold through the ACO website, or Patrick Auto?

Thanks

Hi,

Do the ticketing and the camping spaces for the classic also get released on the same day as the 24hrs?

Cheers

Yeah.. I take my Le mans serious 😄

Always feel much happier when the tickets have been bought.

Checked log in today. Seemed okay doing a test to buy moto gp tickets or whatever race it was. As long as simple email and password log in works and remains the same for Le mans tickets.

Accomodation is already sorted, hopefully Tuesday will be smooth and then just got to buy the ferry tickets...

I enquired recently and was told they don't have a date, but it would be in November. The tickets were sold via the ACO website, so worth dropping them a note to check if they have an actual date yet.

Do we think sales start 10am French time or 10am UK time?

Dont think so, Le mans classic is organized by "Peter Auto"

Did anyone stay at Epinettes last year? What were the toilets and showers like?

Usual problems... Appears to have gone into melt down now.

Started off okay, going smoothly, but the site hasn't recognised I have two ACO memberships and would only allow me two seats. Great!

Now it's just doing nothing.

Trying to call but no idea which number is best.
