I've seen a suggestion on the tickets thread that there are plenty of tickets available for some of the less popular sites like BSJ. A couple of us are late in booking and are trying to decide whether to pay over the top for Karting Nord (where we have other mates staying), pre-buy one of these other sites or leave it in the hope that we can get KN at a sensible price closer to the event (with the fall-back of one of the other sites being available on the day).

Can anyone comment on availability of camping in the likes of BSJ?

Cheers,

Al

BSJ - you can buy on arrival at face value. I'm pretty sure this is the only site you can do that

Yes, Beau is usually OK to get at the gate. Me personally, I would rather travel with my tickets.

With the amount of tickets available on here, Club Arnage, etc., why risk not being in possession of a guaranteed pitch/pass? *hint, hint*

If you want to be sure of having somewhere to park your car I have a spare ticket for Parking Blanc available, along with a camping ticket for Pincenardiere (next to BSJ) if you are interested.

The first few times I went to LM I bought my tickets at the last minute (arrived in post the day before I left) from EBAY.

My first two years at Le Mans I bought camping tickets on arrival. 2004 I camped in Parking Aerodrome and 2005 I camped in Parking Rouge. The facilities are rubbish but I never spent time at the campsite other than to sleep.

Edit: Some locals just park up by the road and sleep in the car. Depends how fussy you are really.
