Folks
I've never been to le mans, and this year I booked up nice and early - 2 adult tickets, a kids ticket, and camping. Like a fool, I then joined a race series that clashes with Le Mans, and I don't fancy skipping that round.

Can I return the tickets for a refund - I cant see anything on the ACO website. Otherwise, can I sell them on or is that a no-no?

I've sold tickets before on eBay, got face value, all paid and sent a few days before. Ticket sales would be final I'd have thought.

You are perfectly entitled to sell your tickets, and i am sure you will sell them no problem. but more details will be required about the camping ticket, which site, if it is for a decent site you will make a profit on that, The two GE tickets will have to be sold at a slight loss and the childs ticket is worthless as they are free i think

The vultures will be hovering.
Try them on ebay first, this far ahead you should get what you paid for, especially as race seems to be really sold out this year with very little ticket availability remaining.

If SEE YA hasn't snapped them up there are sell/swap threads on here, Club Arnage and Beer Mountain where you'll find race fans looking for tickets. Most of these have non-profit rules so you can only sell fo face value. If you're looking to make a profit then it's fleaBay.

As a rule I'm against profiteering on tickets. It's damaging sport. That said id like to get as much as poss for them (up to face value) so I've bothered my arse and fleabayd 'em.

Gutted to be not going though

Just out of interest. I asked Nadine at the Le Mans tourist office last week if she could organise a ticket for my child. She replied by saying that children don't need a ticket.
I'd be interested to know the details of the ticket you had for a child as we're camping inside the circuit and I would hate to be hassled over not having a ticket for my 10 year old.
