If anyone knows where I can get camping tickets, ferry tickets, etc, I would appreciate it.

Wasn't originally able to go, but now am, and so am thinking (if I can get the tickets) of going with 3 mates.

So therefore:

2 cars
4 tickets
ferry crossings
camping

Any chance at all ?

The forum on www.clubarnage.com is a good source of unwanted tickets. You should still be able to get across the channel either on a ferry or via the tunnel. Buy the camping tickets first then see what options are available to get over to france. Good luck.

The ACO still had some BSJ tickets back end of last week, could be worth calling them direct......

Getting across the channel shouldn't be a problem if you're flexible on times and price.

General entrance is alsways available at the main entrance.

So, every chance...

Your only real issue is the camping;

Dover routes and chunnel will be fine for the crossing.

Tickets can be bought on the gate

As mentioned above, the club arnage website is very good for last minute camping tickets and e-bay would probably be reasonable for Beausejour (which is fine). Alternatively, the Le Mans tourist board are often very helpful, some chums of mine turn up every year on-spec and always find somewhere to stay.

If it all goes wrong you could always kip in the car/on the floor!

If you have no camping pass, head to "Parking Blue" opposite Maison Blanche & next to camping blue, They will let you camp in there at the far end by the airfield for around 20 euros. We have done this many times before & pitches are on a first come first served basis. When you arrive at the gate just ask for camping & they will point you in the right direction.

Calais to Dover with seafrance £50 (per car I assume), albiet at terrible time outbound.

Camping - Well there's a few on ebay for Houx, say £150 per car

General Entrance ? Is this available on the day or do you have to prebook ?

Doesn't look bad.

General entrance you can buy on the day, there is no allocation/limit.

If you're going the ebay route, I'd personally hang on a few more days, the price premium looks like its coming out of the tickets now....dpends how brave you are !!

Dear all,

Due to unforseen circumstances, I have available a Le mans package for 3 people in 1 car for sale with a well known tour operator. The package includes everything except beer and fuel money.

The ferry is booked for 7.05 on the thursday morning with the return at 17.45 on the monday.

The deal is for a plot on the Houx Annexe campsite which allows you a car (pass included) and as many tents as you can fit! It also includes 3 general race entry tickets (more might be available) and also entry the the tour operators hospitality area.

The package is currently advertised on ebay

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6535048434&ssPageName=ADME:B:LC:UK:1

but would much rather sell it to a fellow Piston head user.

Contact me through this site if you are interested or e mail me on sj_hollis@yahoo.co.uk.
