Title: MB/Houx Annexe Tickets Needed
Post by: Philip on March 01, 2005, 05:01:32 pm
A long shot I know, but I need to get hold of two Maison Blanche or Houx Annexe camping tickets. If anyone has any surplus to requirements, please let me know by PM.

The agencies appear to have bought up everything this year...

Thanks,

Phil

Anyone? My friends are not impressed with my organisational skills this year...  :-[

I think i may have a MB ticket going at short notice. I can only say once May comes round though.

Robbo,

If you could let me know when the time comes that would be a great help - thanks.

Philip,

Due to a cancellation I thought I had a Technoparc ticket going begging but having just got my final receipt from the ACO I find they have given me my original request of MB. I therefore have one (but only one) MB camping pass spare.

The usual CA terms apply - face value (less my ACO discount) is 72 Euros, (£49.66) plus postage.

Due to hopeless organisational skills I'm now in need (like everyone else) of one further Maison Blanche or Houx Annexe camping ticket.

You would think that after eight years we might have managed to sort it out...

Thanks,

Phil

Surely if you have an MB pass already then you need another Maison Blanche pass, not a Houx Annexe pass??   :-\

Strange that there is one vendor on "that auction site" that seems to have been offering loads of both MB and HA tickets for the last couple of months. I hope they ahven't been obtaining them from here!!

We just need a camping pass - those are the two preferred sites. Maison Blanche preferred, but beggars can't be choosers.

If I was running an eBay scam I would like to think that I would be more organised than this - I can also read the notice at the top of the forum which says "no profiteering". I am more than happy to stick by that dictum, as this is a site based on a sense of community and common interest.

Sorry Philip. Glad to hear that you are honest and trustworthy and respecting the site rules! It's just that the thread above implied that you had got one pass for MB from Pretzel. It would therefore seem bizarre to want a HA pass as your group would therefore be split up. If you need a second vehicle and you can't get another one for MB then you'd be far better off getting one for Bleu as it's the nearest site to MB, or indeed just park the second car in the Bleu car park and take all the camping gear into MB in the one car!!

JP,

I have bought a single MB ticket. Problem is that there is a dispute as to the preferred site - last year we swapped a Maison Blanche for a Houx Annexe nearer the time, this year I fancy MB, but not too fussed so either will be welcome...

Wouldn't dream of taking a profit from another attendee - it must be the only event going where large groups of drunk Englishmen can get together without bottling each other (although I have noticed a slight deterioration in standards over the past couple of years).

Well, as the organiser you should be the one to choose the site. Otherwise let the others sort out the tickets for their preferred site!

That's what I love about Le Mans, the camaraderie is amazing. There was a minor incident at the 'poo bar last year when I knocked someones phone out of his hand, but it was all quickly resolved over a glass of bubbly!

If you can get 2 Houx Annexe tickets, then the 1 MB you already have would be reoffered on this site?

I agree with JP, organiser always has the final say on which site or ferry. Any dispute and the invite is withdrawn.

Yes, of course. We've often bought and sold tickets to get what we wanted, but only ever at face value. If I was looking to be a ticket tout, I think Glastonbury might be the more obvious place to start to be honest...

As for "organiser" - we aren't organised enough to have one...

Anyone got an MB or Houx Annexe ticket for sale?  ;)

Phil

Phil,

Although not official organiser of my trio of happy campers, I think (stress 'think') that we may have a spare HA camping ticket.  We were two cars, but are now one (save on chunnel costs, change car to estate, add roof-rack).  Not having paid for the camping tickets personally, I am unsure what the prices are per plot.  

Will consult with the others and see what is what.

Additionally, we may have a T21 grandstand ticket for sale if anyone is interested.

Cheers,
Sean

6th year on the trot and still love it.  Have done Bleu and MB previously - how does HA compare (lots of trees?)

This should tell you all you need to know

Thanks for the link,  good info.

We're getting there around 2-3pm Thursday, so hope that it won't be too packed out by then.

Will bring midge repellent if we end up by the pond, and tazars to deal with the pikeys (thankfully had no theft issues in all our time)!

Still on the hunt.

Hi Phil,
Sorry for lack of response; am still awaiting confirmation, but afraid that it is not looking hopeful - our organiser has decided to resubmit ticket request to Billeterrie ACO for reduced camping/grandstand seat numbers.  
However, this email request has not been acknowledged as yet, so it may be that they are still up for grabs - until we hear back from Billeterrie ACO, I cannot say any more.
I will keep you posted via PM.
Cheers,
Sean

Still on the lookout - could swap one MB for two HA plus appropriate cash, or take one more MB or one HA or both...

Anyone?  ???

Hows it going mate? If you still have your MB ticket I would love to take it off your hands...

Let me know.

Only have one ticket, but need two, so can't get rid of it...

Would consider swapping for Houx Annexe.

Phil
