Hi guys,
I've been a mug and missed the boat with every agent I know of for Houx numbered tickets (want 2 adjacnt). Since I'm not expecting any chance of getting em, where else is good?
Only been the once, and liked houx due to atmosphere, and location was great. Houx annexe looks possible, but i seem to remember it's known for being rougher than a badgers arse. Beausojour is miles away, so thats out..

Don't really fancy forking out 4 times as much for e.g team langoustines private bit, although i'm sure it's great. It's mainly that the lads woukd lower the tone a bit too much!

So, what to aim for?
Mb?
Karting nord?
Annexe?

Electricity would be nice, as it would allow a fridge / cheap stereo. Mainly want something in between the utter chav carnage of parking vert, and the far too sensible porsche curves cravatte crowd. Any PH advice?

We are always on Houx, 12 years, and never order before xmas/new year.

Used a variety of ticket agencies. Who've you tried, as this sounds odd?

TL allocation sold out. Tickets 2u same.
lemansrace.com - for 7 people (2 cars) 1540 quid! Booking normlly (eurotunnel, normal tickets) is 1140 at most. Sod that!

We have the added issue that we've not got a concrete plan together yet (depends on 1 pregnancy and 2 other wives that are yet to give the nod), so we will have between 5 and 7 people, and either 1 heavily modified sub 1000 quid people carrier as a daft le mans car, or 2 normal cars or 1 motorhome depending on all sorts of things - I just want to get the pitches sorted before indescision turns into lack of choice...

Most agencies operate a waiting list then when they get actual allocation work down those, not all will want, so get on list and you should be ok?

^^^^^^^^^^^^

What Eastsider said. Speak to 1st Tickets or Just Tickets (both are official LM ticket agencies) and if they've sold their allocations ask to go on the reserves list. Typically lots of folk show interest in going, and some drop out nearer the time due to other commitments, finances or they've just had a rethink.

Good luck.
