Maybe I am panicing but maybe I am not.

I ordered 8 Bleu Nord camping tickets (wanted Houx annex again but wasnt organised in time) a while ago and I am consciously aware (and excited) that I haven't heard anything. I see a lot of guys on here have received their grandstand tickets but what about camping tickets. I have to distribute them to the group and am running out of spare weekends.

This is my second year of going but last year the tickets were purchased for me. This year I took the responsibility of getting tickets for 15 of us so if I get it wrong many people will lynch me.

Should I ring up the ACO and try my rubbish French on them (Ooh eh le tickets springs to mind)? ? ? ? ?

Cheers guys.

I would call them for you but my french is limited too. Unless the phrase "j'adore le jambon ou fromage" manages to chase your tickets up!

I always just went with 'le rouge pantalon' but never helped when trying to order a beer.

My own classic was asking for 'une ticket please' at the Le Mans main gate. I wasn't even drunk.

Definitely ring up the ACO ticket office for peace of mind, the number on your invoice is for an english speaking line. They are very helpful! I phoned them to enquire about my tickets and they were able to give me the UPS tracking number. Consequently I found out that UPS were unable to find my address and my package was sitting at the depot!

I was told the tickets would be delivered in april or may. Had an e-mail on monday with the tracking details on the UPS website saying they would turn up on tuesday and lo and behold, got a call from the mrs at about midday to say they'd arrived

Not sure I would be too concerned at the moment if they haven't turned up, but you could try an e-mail, they seemed to respond quickly enough the last time I sent one.

Mine turned up the end of last week, although if i remember back to last year, it was only about 3 weeks before race day that they turned up so I wouldnt panic yet

E mailed ACO tuesday morning, they responded tuesday afternoon saying tickets were being printed and would be despatched soon. Checked e mail this morning and the UPS tracking document says they were on the van for delivery today. So should be there when I get home :-D
