Probably an old chesnut, so apologies.

Booked pitch and General entry tickets through 1st tickets this year, and had 3 blokes on one pitch. A squeeze but managable.

How does one go about (on the basis it MUST be possible) booking a block of camping pitches in order to create an HQ for a slightly larger team? Do you go straight to the ACO?

Cheers in advance Men and Women of PH

If you go through the aco, then it is a lottery and no guarantee you will get bleu. Or any allocated pitch site. Best bet is just ask an agent to supply you with however many adjacent pitches you need. You will pay a bit more, but no hassle and you know what you will be getting. Some agents do not insist on you buying Ge passes from them, so have a hunt around before paying your hard earned.

Just ask Brian at 1st tickets for however many camping spaces you need and ask them to be adjacent to each other. Job done.

The best bet is to find some of the 105m pitches which exist on Karting Nord or BSJ. We got a couple of these a few years back on KN and had so much room it was a joke.

There are some on Maison Blanche against the back wall too. The only downside I can see is that I believe you still only get one vehicle in per pitch, which might not suit a group.

These are triple size spaces and each comes with 3 vehicle permits.

You will find Team Langoustine extremely helpful in getting exactly what you want http://www.teamlangoustine.com/

I've been with them for the past few years. Extremely friendly bunch, secure site and parking, with security staff on the gates, good hot showers, clean loos, fantastic bar.
