trying to organise our adventure, but due to lots of procrastination and a little bit of laziness, havent got the campsite booked. Im hearing rumblings that they are sold out, and have been since september, is this right? If so, how can we get hold of camp passes, is ebay the only way?

i booked up with Airtrack only a couple of weeks ago and they still had availability... you could give them a go?

Bit pricier than most other places by most people's accounts, but you do get a fair few extras for your money such as private toilets and showers, a marked out pitch, hospitality tent and 24hr security. I can't really fault them, have been with them for the past 3 years.

Calum.

Try the "sale and swap" forum on www.clubarnage.com - you should be able to pick up camping tickets at face value plus postage on there. It's also a great forum to find out all about the joys that await you!!

Basejour is usually still available. Check the aco site for details.

I doubt it very much!! Beausejour normally sells over the race weekend and it's bigger than ever this year as the ACO have taken some trees down.

Did you have to buy 2 overpriced GA tickets per camping pass as well?

BSJ 45 Euros each
GA 60 Euros each at full price or less if for a group or ACO member.

Probably only a tenner or so a head overpriced on the GA (although they of course will have bought them cheaper!). What did they charge you for the BSJ tickets?

Are you taking three cars - did you need three camping passes? A friend of mine got done a couple of years back by a tour operator telling them they HAD to buy a camping ticket per person not per car!

They charged £30 per car for the BSJ tickets. edited to say: duh! thought you were saying that i might need a pass per person! no, I wasn't done, they only charged me per car. Its obviously too late for my brain to work properly! Cheers.
