If you only want a Mulsanne campsite pass then you can get these direct from the ACO website ( http://ticket.lemans.org/yellow-area-campsites-cir... ). €32 plus €9.50 for secure UPS postage. Usually with you in good time for the race weekend.

all booked with the unofficial PCGB guys via 1st Tickets and Lycian events.
they done such a great job last year and i cannot wait to get there.

Hi robmlufc,

Sorry that we haven't been able to ring you back. We have been at the PistonHeads Performance Car Show all this week, but will definately give you a call when we get back to the office on Monday afternoon. If you are planning to come up to the show, please come over to our stand 19633 in hall 19 and we can see how we can help.

Hi Chaps

We have a bit of an issue!

We really want either Blue camping or Maison Blanche but can't seem to buy them anywhere. The le mans site only seems to sell yellow ones (beausejour and over by the porsche curves) does anyone know what the problem is? have le mans stopped selling direct to the public for the decent sites?

cheers

Yep!!ACO takes your money every year, gives you less every year and expects you to make the pilgramage every year.Will you go? of course you will.Put up or shut up!That`s their motto.

Not paying my membership again.But someoneone else will be along to fill my place so no worries to ACO.I am pretty pissed off this year.But I`m still going

It seems the ACO, in their infinite wisdom, have changed their approach so that only ACO members / agents can get tickets in Houx, Houx Annexe, Maison Blanche, etc.

I'm buggered if I'm paying for ACO membership as it seems very expensive for what you get, regardless of the discounts available, and I'm not convinced it guarantees you the allocation you want, but maybe I'm being too sceptical. Will need to see how the ACO members who did buy tickets direct got on this year, in terms of multiple plots all being together, etc.

[a.christie]

I have been a member for quite a few years.Never really taken advantage of buying cheaper tickets because as a TVRCC member always booked the package through them up until last year.Have been in Houx for years and then thought I would take advantage of ACO membership and hey-ho no spaces in Houx available so have paid for and received Garage Vert for this year.We`ll see??Have ACO grandstand ticket which has showers and clean toilets and a food and drinks area.Also feel that if you need to have a bit of a moan you do seem to be listened to slightly more if you are a member.I`ll let you know after this year.
