Campsite tickets only. Where to get them?

[vincegail]

I've never used a British agency, so don't know much about them, hence my question.
A mate of mine is looking for tickets only for decent campsites, and on the ACO site all but
the yellow sites are sold out. Where to get Houx Annexe (for example) tickets without having to get entrance tickets too?
He lives in the Netherlands, so no need for ferry/chunnel crossings either.

Just email the agencies and ask? There are only 5.

[Tyre Smoke]

Or wait for Ebay around March/April time.

If he/she waits until closer to the race there will be camping sites on e bay and also on the various forums, and if nothing turns up the yellow sites can usually be purchased on arrival at Le mans at the rotunda

Beausejour campsite tickets are still available on the ACO website, so not so much of an issue after all

Technically and actually that's not a campsite.

BSJ tix are _always_ available, for a reason.

[vincegail]

Yes, and Beausejour is one of the 'yellow campsites' I was referring to in my original post, so not an option. (Well, as a very very very last option, maybe)

I think you've said previously you use the Tourist Office (apologies if I've confused you with someone else) - do you think they could help?

[vincegail]

You're absolutely right! I've ordered my tickets with the tourist office quite some time ago. But in the meantime, all the nice campsites are gone of course, so he needs to get them elsewhere.

Speedchills , I bought only camping tickets last week

Ah! makes perfect sense - a junior error on my part.

Ebay I think changed their ticket policy this year or last, so they may get redirected towards something called stubhub. There's usually a brisk market on the LM focussed sites, and on Beermountain they run a "No profiteering" policy.

Club arnarge also do a cost price ticket sale posting, but there were plenty on ebay last year

[FraMac]

Thanks I wasn't aware club arnage did too.

Crazy talk, BSJ is an excellent site, and in some ways better than say BN

Admittedly I'm on Chateau Houx this year, but I had 2 excellent stays at BSJ in 2011 & 2012

BSJ is fun, but the pitches are not allocated, so the later you arrive the further into the site you will be placed. It is a long thin site and may take 5-10mins to walk from your pitch to the entrance, then 25-30 mins to walk to the circuit village and grandstands. These tickets can be acquired upto the race in June, so don't bust a gut now. Bleu Nord is oposite Maison Blanche and is allocated pitch. So unmolested regardless of when you arrive. 10 mins from the Grandstands. IMHO Much better than BSJ in pretty much every way.

BSJ is still great fun though.

BN is still available from agencies and the £20 extra you pay is insignificant compared to the time and agro you will save yourself on site.

Oh and if it tips it down, it will be a swamp!

I have been in pretty much all sites over the last 25Yrs and this is only my opinion.

[FredericRobinson]

If anyone is after entrance tickets I'll have a couple going cheap

Might have a pitch in Houx Annexe up for grabs so long as I get my other allocations. Was going to sell on in the spring.Have been ordered for delivery to Denmark and will include General admission tickets also.
