Title: swap Karting Nord / Beauséjour?!?
Post by: Paddy_NL on December 10, 2004, 12:36:44 am
Probably a shot into thin air, but I had the worst day of the year today, being told that the 29th of June '04 was too late to actually conceve places for Karting Nord for the '05 race.

So if you'd rather join your mates who are at Beauséjour and you have tickets for Karting Nord (at least two, preferably 3/4), I'll swop with you easily (with a little extra cash if required).

Like I said, probably a shot into thin air... ::)

Bad luck Paddy.
Hopefully some KN tickets will appear here closer to June.

There certainly seemed to be a hot trade in MB tickets for 2004.

Bad luck,
We where in the same situation last year, had tickets for Expo, wanted Houx Annexe.

Managed to get 3 Annexe tickets quite easily in the end at face value.

You should really get the tickets at face value on here too.

I'm trying to deal with an agency here in Holland, they rang me this morning and it's confirmed for 99,9% now (only the fax of the ACO to come through at the agency). Looking good! 8)

Our local (well, rather National-) ticket agent seem to let me down. According to them, the ACO haven't been in contact with them since 10th of December. A load of bull as far as I'm concerned. And then there's always the phone, but apparently that's too much trouble :(

So you guys recon I might have more luck here on this site?
Fingers crossed then :D

By the way, is it normal to order on the 29th of June, be told it became BSJ on the 9th of December, and still no invoice came in?  ???

Paddy try dropping Nadine an email, she sorted MB tickets for me last year having left it too late, other than waiting to buy some here nearer the time this is going to be your best bet.

thanks a lot for that, Abs!
I've just send her an email, I'm hoping for the best now.  8)

Thanks a lot for all the suggestions guys, but none of them really worked out. That Nadine-woman did reply to my email, very friendly.

About an hour ago I ordered (just about the last) tickets at JustTickets for Maison Blanche, so our group is sorted!! 8)
It was quite a bit more than originally calculated, but with 20 people it works out not that much more expensive per person.

Happy bunny here!!  ;D :D ;D

Why do I get the feeling that 750 litres of Heineken on Maison Blanche won't be enough?

Three weeks ago Just Tickets said there were NO Maison Blanche Tickets left.


GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. Still waiting for a reply from airtrack!

The guy on the phone did tell me there were some cancellations recently...

Is it just me or have the annual ticket wanted posts started early this year ? I don't remember them so early other years or is it just that the ACO have messed up more this year. Take my advise boys, book for 2006 NOW. I do it this time every year and I have never been let down yet. You won't get accnoledgment (spell check needed) of your order until about September but you will be near the front of the Q and most proberbly get what you ask for as the orders seem to get processed in the order they are received.

I don't know about last year. Back then I ordered Houx Annexe tickets early October to end up at BSJ, didn't know that much about the possibilities on sites like these. I do really appreciate the help of you guys, though. Absolutely great!

I guess the whole issues about camping tickets has to do with both increasing popularity and indeed the ACO.

I think you are right as for 2006, especially with the even more promises for an interesting starting grid!


Wish you all the best for your tickets, Rick ;)

Just Tickets this morning have had a load of cancellations for MB so are selling 1 x MB ticket with 2 x Gen admin plus 2 x Welcome for £226................. They would not sell just the camping permit.

A lot more than we would usually pay, but hay, thats life!  Thanks to Keithcuda we're in like flin 8) ;D

They pulled the same trick with us, we bought 4 camping tickets and also had to take 8 Gen Adm tickets, grand total of somewhere around 900 pounds, but hey we wanted to be trackside and now we are. Watch for our drinking for holland scaffolding!!!!

From the looks of your nick, we would also need to bring a lot of wine in weird twisted bottles :P

Maybe a little of topic, but, do you guys think we can fit around 25 dutchies into four camping spots?

Don't worry about that. If there's a lack of space, we can always build the scaffolding in such a way we can put our tents underneath the damn thing. And have great lie-ins because of the shade 8)
