Ticket prices – in 1966!

[the fury]

Bit of a random one, but does anyone have an idea of the ticket costs back in 1966?

All will become apparent!

10 french francs according to this:



Which is about 1.52 euro or 1.29 pounds. Good old times!

Wow, that's brilliant thanks! Where did you find that?!

That's expensive. Adjusting for inflation 10F would be about £120 now so that would mean Le Mans has got cheaper. Better not tell the ACO

So from 1.29 pound in 1966 to 120 pound 57 years later? I know inflation is pretty steep, but this is ridiculous.

I come to a result of 20.35 pound using this:

You are right. My bad. Forgot 10F was the equivalent of a quid (ish). Incorrectly thought it was a tenner!
