2021 - ACO Tickets on Sale - When?

[DangerDoom]

Any idea when the ACO will start selling tickets for 2021?

"Normally" I think we would see the tickets go on sale around mid-October - think it was the 15th of October 2019 (tickets for 2020).

Do you go direct to the ACO for tickets?

There is an 'email' coming out towards the end of this month or beginning of November I believe. I think we'll know more after that email is sent out.

We go through Just Tickets, but I believe all ticket agencies are currently in the same boat (see the couple of threads on here recently)

[DangerDoom]

Ah is that right. Thanks for the update. Yeah direct to the ACO - sometimes more hassle but generally seems to work out considerably cheaper.

Will continue to check the other threads and keep a close watch on the ACO themselves.

Good point, but nobody wants to gamble on what's happening next year. It looked like it might be over by now (hence the postponement to September) but instead it got worse, and then there's Brexit....

Keep you ears to the ground.

Still no sign of the release of tickets?

France is in Lockdown till 1 December (with a review in a weeks time) so nothing is likely to happen.

They need a crystal ball, but if we do get the vaccine for Christmas and we can give it to substantially the whole population by Easter, and it works, then there's hope.

They can start thinking about it in January was my guess, but "On Thursday, France recorded more than 58,000 cases, with some doctors warning the lockdown might need to extend through the Christmas period." See

I think we will be lucky if things are back to normal by 2021 to enable a normal running of the 24hrs.

I got an e mail from ACO today. Ticketing has been deferred while ACO assesses the situation. A date for 2021 ticketing will be announced later.

No chance - Boris donated all his Viagra Points

Still no news?

Only reason i ask is because this is the first year I’ve joined the ACO club and am paranoid that i’ll miss an announcement that will go straight in my junk mail! Since joining in May this year I don’t think I received anything outside of Le Mans week?!

You might want to look at your email preferences, I get mails most weeks from them, mostly they are plugging their online shop but there's also ticket updates fairly frequently - although recent ones just say 'no news yet'.

[LawrieC]

There is the new website, with lots of useful information and polo shirts for €130, but no mention of tickets

It just says "To be informed", but if you click on that you can leave your email address. Strangely, you can buy tickets for the Classic a few weeks later.

This weeks news update email from them is funny.

Plenty of stuff about Porsche and Peugeot, itching about a decision about tickets.

They have announced this week that the Paris air show has been canned, due at the end of June. Some of that may be due to the income crisis in that industry.

and their bars are shut till 20th January

Thanks I'll take a look as the ACO app on my phone is also woeful!
