Club Arnage

Hello All.

Does anybody know when tickets for Le Mans 2016 are going on sale. Agents or the ACO, I'm not fussy.

Usually Beginning of November for Members, Mid November for Non-members
IIRC

But this is the ACO we are talking about remember.

Has anyone had an update on when the ACO are going to release the tickets to members.

I read a post on Pistonheads that tickets would go on sale to ACO members on Tue 3 Nov 10AM CET

ACO emailed out today.

The ticketing for the 2016 Le Mans 24 Hours will open to the public in a couple of weeks, on Friday, 6th November 2015 at 10:00 AM (GMT).

Confirmation we have our tickets for Terte Rouge  ;D

also had a email myself - well I say me it was to my dad as he was a ACO member. Just debating if to buy his parking pass as normal or not

Has anyone been able to get onto the ticketing site today?

same as every other year site has crashed ! Can't login etc etc.

Managed to login eventually this morning most camping tickets gone. System currently wont let ACO members book camping passes at reduced rate and only lets you purchase two GE tickets at reduced rate, what a pile of sh >:(t this continues to be you would think after 3 or is it 4 years of an online booking system they would have figured it out.

Not much hope for me then. Whilst Dad's an ACO member, I've got to book mine separately as we've a few cars going down and its going to be easier for me to sort my tickets separately (or not as Enzo's post suggests)

I managed to get ours. The system crashed just a I was about to pay. So 15, attempts later on the phone I got through and got them. Just keep trying on the phone 😊

This is the major reason that I decided that another year of ACO membership at north of 100 euros was just not worth it any more. So, when my renewal came up last month, I didn't bother.

Instead, the money I've saved has been spent with a ticket agency to cover their face value mark up (they are, after all, a business).  

At least this way, I get the tickets I want, without the major annual "the sites crashed, I can't log on, there's no tickets in the campsite I want" ACO on-line tickets sales trauma.

Sod em!

who have you booked with?

Dad has just booked Epinettes on the phone with ACO as Houx already sold out!! If its that bad for ACO members I'll stand no chance on Friday. All the agencies i've seen have ridiculous prices so it looks like our return to Le Mans is in jeopardy already  :'(

Managed to get logged on to the site but it wouldn't allow ACO discount. It said that there were 2 pitches left in Houx Annexe so brought one, but when I printed it, it doesn't have a pitch number. I thought Houx Annexe was numbered pitches, or does it have un-numbered as well.

Don't forget the annual 'Yes, you did order five camping permits in a block for Houx Annexe, but here's two for Mulsanne, two for Expo and one for Beausejour and none of them are on  connecting pitches.' experience.

I hope its not due to the FORD nonsense, but just tried to book for tribune 34 ,all sold   ::)



 

Same here.  This year though, tickets for T34 were still sold in the shop at the museum during race week (when it was sold out online months before).  

Just paid my deposit to Travel Destinations, sure it costs a bit more but what price an easy life and peace of mind?

Been watching the Ford GT 2016 video, on repeat, getting excited!  :D

Booked a GE ticket and Expo permit yesterday via Speed Chills.

Roll on my departure date, June 9, 2016.

The ACO site currently shows T34 available, but only "Access A", the one nearest Maison Blanche.
I wouldn't trust it until your order is confirmed.

Ron, Houx has both numbered and non-numbered.

Didn't fancy paying E460 for grandstand seat, so chose / paid / downloaded & printed T23 tickets already , with clear view of trailing ford oil...... ;D

Well I never, our camping passes arrived yesterday. that is the fastest delivery yet.

Roll on June  :D

Hi Mike,
           Did ACO manage o get them sites all together and on BN ? Hope so ;D
Phil

Yes Phil we are all together on BN.

Just received 2016's invoice from Team Langoustine for our pitches and grandstand seats.

Kind of beginning to feel real at last!

Just got my invoice from Team langoustine too. Though only three confirmed camping on BN out of a possible allocation of 10. If anyone wants to join me, Bob T and Purdu. Please let me know asap. Ta

Purely out of interest, has anyone booked for the Classic this year?

>Martini...LB

I had intended to come to the classic this year, but now realise is clashes with something else that I have already booked.

F

I'll be at the classic, if I get photo credentials

Yup, my self and Andy with a brace of http://www.asmotorsport.co.uk/ (http://www.asmotorsport.co.uk/) DBR1s (that's the plan).

You are a very lucky young man...remember fuses and wire, oh sorry that is your car ;D
Are you on MB?

>Martini...LB

All repaired and rewired now with 'new improved' control system.

Not sure what the Classic camping plan is (that's Andy's department) - possibly with the Aston Martin Owners group.
