LM24 Tickets 2024 (not buying and selling)
Discussion
Was in the queue first thing this morning and got through to the ticketing page a few mins after 10. Tried to buy 6 GE + Grandstand and when it added to cart it came up to say not available, paged back and they were showing as sold out by 10:05. Settled on 6x GE and then looked at parking, all sold out for the weekend except Mulsanne. Seems to be the way of it now, which is a shame as we’ve had grandstands right up until last year when we couldn’t get them and the same again next year. As others have said - we’ll manage.
Advice for anyone thinking of going - get your tickets booked ASAP!

Got the week track entrance and access to that new temp grandstand. Slightly annoying as I am going by myself this year so really wanted a proper seat. Oh well, will keep an eye on here or the resale site and hopefully someone has one for sale!
They've used that location for a grandstand before and I've sat in it for practice. Perfectly OK and the seats are more comfortable than some - or at least they were to me. Tried to beek ticket this morning, got onto the site after an hour wait. Ordered 3 GE tickets and parking for 1 car at the corners, but, no sign of parking white or blue, and Expo and Panarama only had Wed and Thurs available. Haven't been for 4 years, are these parking area not available any more ?

Most of Bleu public parking and camping was removed last year for corporate/manufacturers parking. Blanc public areas pretty well eliminated before that.I think this year the far side of the airfield free parking has been shaded Bleu. Bit odd as they made Rouge parking Panorama last year.
What a mission! Needed 5 camping and 10 entry tickets. Joined the ACO and got 3 camping and 4 entry tickets last week. MGBee on here helped me out with 2 more camping tickets. Logged on this morning and watched the queue tick by for 2 hours to only get 2 more entry tickets. Logged on again as Mrs Spydaman and got 4 more entry tickets. Result!

Managed to get two Chapelle tickets, it says "Free seating" (love the French translating to English) Presuming there are no seat allocations, just get any seat available?
Yeah, that is how I understood it too. Sounds disastrous. I'm planning on getting there early 
Electronic tickets with multiple downloads or screenshots on group apps may be a problem unless they scan everyone in and out of stand.
So is it a new stand or just first one on outside of circuit past the Dunlop bridge?
Worried aboutt he email I had from 1st Tickets last night I joined up this morning and managed to get what I needed for our group. If Brian is able to get me what I have ordered from him I'll have 2 weekend entry tickets surplus that I'm quite happy to pass onto someone at face value.

Parking Bleu and Parking Blanc were removed last year for this year's race. Blanc was fully open up until last year - I've parked in it for years. Full week Expo and Panorama (formerly Rouge) parking sold out before public ticketing opened. FredericRobinson said:
Presumably they’re putting 2 stands up at Chapelle this year, has the Tertre Rouge stand been for sale? That was always the slowest seller in the past, and in the quieter years wasn’t put up at all.
No sign of a Tertre Rouge GS this year. I think there will only be one stand at Chapelle. RL17 said:

Just the first one, I believe. Edited by Aysedasi2 on Wednesday 15th November 14:55
This is the first year we've been staying off-site; given the lack of ticketed parking availability, what's the situation with the free parking locations? Are there normally enough spaces to go around if you arrive reasonably early on race day, and roughly how far from the circuit are we looking? Thx in advance!

Others will no doubt say with more certainty, but there is a lot of free parking on the airfield. So not all that far - a bit of a trudge if it's raining or in the middle of a heatwave. I went in most days this year at around 10 am, including on race morning and there was still loads of capacity at that time (although I was parking elsewhere I drove past the airfield every morning). Don't give up hope on a parking ticket though, there may be some for resale in due course. I bought a full week Expo ticket on resale just over a week before I left for France this year.

That would be a reduction in grandstand capacity from this year then, a hospitality unit going where the TR grandstand was then I expect
More than likely. Aysedasi2 said:

According to the map on the ACO website there’s the ‘Chapelle’ grandstand where it’s been previously, and the new Chapelle bis stand is nearer the Dunlop bridge, presumably where catering units have been previously.That maps still showing Tertre Rouge stand as being a thing, but if they’re not selling tickets for it, it probably isn’t.

Ah, OK. Perhaps there are two then. Which makes sense as they took some time to sell this morning. I expected them to be gone in 10 minutes. That maps still showing Tertre Rouge stand as being a thing, but if they’re not selling tickets for it, it probably isn’t.
