[LM24] Le Mans 2024 - 15/16 June 2024 - Who is Going?

[Aysedasi]

The ACO have just said on FB that there will be no more camping tickets on sale on 15th November.

[Simmi]

Camping was nuts. Reminded me a lot of trying to get football tickets. Seeing pitches that are available in tiny numbers, but in reality you know there aren't and they've sold out.

I have a Hippodrome and Prairie camping pass. So will be selling one of those for sure at some point. Hopefully both - just depends if an agency comes through with an upgrade. I do think most of those camping pitches never even hit the site this morning. If fans were more organised this year, you can be agencies were too.

Grandstand was fine - got in where I wanted. Albeit I didn't see any evidence of full-week grandstand tickets which were mentioned?

There must have been some, Vincent managed to snag a couple of TR....

MY GS tickets say 'Weekend' but then 'ACO Member - Full Week Price'. There is no such thing on the ticketing page for full week grandstands.

Well finally my camping tickets appeared on my order and completed payment so eventuall got what i wanted 2 Tertre Rouge and 2 Full week GE

My camping ticket for Beausejour (actually like the place) is valid from Friday 7th.

BSJ isn't bad, although I've only been there once. A chap near me had all his bedding stolen during the race last year, which was somewhat unpleasant. Shutting the bar and cafe at race end was also inconvenient for some.

I do have a deposit for Porsche Curves with TD, just need to wait for them to confirm.

Can’t say I’m surprised the ACO are saying different things in different places, reckon I’ll head down to be banging on the gates on the Friday morning as usual and if I can’t get in I’ll tootle off somewhere else for a couple of days

Yes I had the same experience. Bloody incompetent website design if you ask me, makes you sit on a blank page which gives you no indication it's still working as opposed to hung, and then if you do something which should be safe, switch it from french to english it doesn't just change the page language but reloads and dumps you from the queue. And so I get up an hour before hand get into the waiting room in 3 minutes and then have to wait to get in another hour when it resets.

Which caused one of the spots I wanted to literally sell out while I was on the page after I had added it to my cart!!!! Same thing happened to me last year as well. Next year I'm going to open a separate page for each thing I want to buy so I can click put in cart and purchase and have the 4 min to complete the sale while I get the other things, since the couple of minutes it takes to get everything you want can mean not getting something.

You did very well Simon, I must admit I thought you'd miss out on TR. It's only you and Vincent that I've heard having got TR so far....

[Peter Mallett]

I had that with camping, I'd click on the spot, apply the number required and then get told it wasn't available. Happened three times which is why I went to BSJ.

Yeah, I was afraid to touch or refresh anything, but going in too early was nearly my downfall. I don't think you should attempt to get in any more than 10 minutes in advance.

Welcome to Tenths, by the way!

Have the tickets got a campsite opening date on them?

[vincegail]

If I get tickets that’s when I’ll be turning up then, whether it does me any good is another matter

[GT6]

So looks like opens sunday rather than the friday, not handy if you want to be there for start of practice day.

Kept telling me when there were two pitches together that you couldn't leave a single one on its own. Which quite frankly is a p*sstake. Reeks of ticketing software carried over from stadium/grandstand seating. It shouldn't be applied to campsite pitches IMO.

The 7th is the Friday, after all this it’ll probably the the Saturday when they open up

[whitemr2]

I wonder if any of the lucky early logged in members actually got Houx(annexe) epinettes,
How can that be sold out in minutes when there is a max of 3 per membership!
Something is not right here.

i think the agencies had already been allocated a fair chuck of the camping spaces so the few that were left went quickly. Expect to see some on ebay at slightly above cost very soon unfortunately for real fans

[whitemr2]

I already heard of people buying for larger groupes, not agencies, getting there large plots camping yesterday!? Not fair.

I managed to get Houx at about 10:15. According to the map where I selected my pitch, there were only about 50 pitches left.

[Aysedasi]

Seems to have been a bit of a lottery..... No great surprise though.

[Simmi]

Looks like all Grandstands gone now. Not sure if anything will be held back for the "main public sale".

Ten years ago you could get GA, grandstand seats opposite the podium and a camping spot in February.

Not sure it's got that much more popular?

Silly boy!

90% sellout of grandstands in two hours this year. Absolutely mental.

Yeah we're into a new era now. The big question is how long will it last?
