Someone got very lucky then... Could have been a different Telegram channel of course. I notice that Hippodrome 30 camping has come up several times today. I guess people who took them but got something better from their agency. NoBrakesWC said:

Wow, that means that it lasted less than 10s. Now you make me wonder if I should lower the refresh rate of the telegram bot to less than 10s 
. Initially was 30s but later I simplified the code a lot and now I can push it to less than one second, but I want to keep it at a rate that doesn't stress the server too much so I set it at 10s, but if more tickets go unnoticed I will lower it even more.Also the fact that a ticket lasted less than 10s makes me wonder if someone is scalping the most demanded tickets to later be resold at a profit. I have to say that I don't like this resale system (first come first served basis) and it should be based in a waitlist system imo. But the system is as it is and the only thing I recommend you it's to join the telegram channel, enable your notifications and try to be as fast as possible .

I second your recommendation - it seems to work really well for me. Every time I've actually tried a link I have been able to put a ticket into my cart. I've tried half a dozen times. It was said last year that someone was scalping tickets. I understand why there is no waiting list - it would be a lot of extra work for the ACO and this way there's no work at all. .

Got this a while back, looks like it works great, thanks. There will be some available at some point, just being patient. Failing this we'll see how many tents we can get onto 2 pitches (and the lanes at the side)!! Unbelievable to think in 2021 there were so many unsold or unused pitches!! Like now: Full Week General Admission – Race is available. Go to https://ticketchange.24h-lemans.com/selection/resa...
So how long till this thread gets shut down?
"Apologies for the mass tagging. We have got into some hot water with the ACO over ticket resales. They would like it if you went through their own resale website.
"Ticketing resell is strictly prohibited and can be punished by a fine of 15 000 euros (article 316-6-2 of the French penal code)."
So rather upsetting as it is can I ask members NOT to post tickets for sale here please.
It seems absolutely bananas to me that you can't sell on what you've bought with your own money. I don't agree with it but it is what it is."

As I've said elsewhere to your same post, you're taking a huge risk now buying e-tickets from eBay or anyone you don't know well. If I had spare tickets, I'd use the resale site unless a friend wanted them."Apologies for the mass tagging. We have got into some hot water with the ACO over ticket resales.

I used to think in previous years when there were literally dozens of tickets available on eBay, but since ticketing opened and then sold out, there have been virtually none. Right now there are three camping tickets for sale on eBay - all for sites which have appeared fairly regularly on the resale site over the last couple of weeks.

Managed to grab an Expo parking ticket via the resale site after seeing one pop up on Telegram - thanks to all who linked to that, I'm all set for June now 
Nice one. I did the same last year. For that kind of ticket, you just need to be patient, they're coming up reasonably regularly on the resale site. Gassing Station | Le Mans | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
