Went on eBay for a quick look and someone is trying to sell a Houx ticket for £250. I've offered him £1. It was declined ! This sort of thing shoulnt be allowed and I hope he gets stuck with it.

Too right and especially when you can still buy them from official sources for less than half that price. Mind you, maybe a buyer deserves to pay £250 if they are too lazy to do a simple le mans ticket search on google.

Where exactly are you finding these wondrous tickets that the too-lazy are missing? I'm struggling to find anything at the moment, never mind on Houx

Well that's the nature of Ebay. Now you see them now you don't. 10 days ago lots were up there.

The nature of eBay these days is also to try and sell things for at least the same/more than they can be bought new and direct. I've been trying to pickup a second and decent coolbox on there for a while (Coleman Extreme or Igloo) and the number of people who want £55 for something I can buy from Amazon for £59 is remarkable.

Nice to see two weeks later hes still not sold it. I offered him £5 last night, up from the £1 last week but he wont budge. Still wants £250.

I couldn't get houx tickets back in Feb (ok I did leave it late this year) I have taken Bleu Sud. £250 is ludicrous.

What is up with ebay this year, there seems to be very few tickets for sale at any time?

Their stubhub doesnt list any either.

It is strange normally this time there are 100 or so listing on Ebay, maybe they are rejecting them this year. Still plenty of BSJ and surrounding campsite tickets on the ACO site though.

Very strange that there are so few for sale this year, i could understand if they were not fetching much as plenty still available at the ACO and agencies, but it appears that few people are selling. The guy with the houx tickets is now saying only one left, but it also says only one sold, a week ago he had 4 for sale, perhaps he has decided to go himself.
