I see many people saying that book camping tickets 1 year in advance. How do I go about this, and can it be done at the circuit this year?
Maybe next year I will not be forced to scoure the Sell & Swap board every day for spare tickets!!
Thanks
-
While you are there this year go to the ACO office, get a form and you can complete and hand in . Takes about 5 minutes.
-
Do I pay when I put the form in, and where is the AOC office?
Thanks
-
the ACO House should be at Expo ???

Once you have given in the form you will get a letter about September time asking you to reconfirm your order. About December you will be notified of your allocation and given two weeks to pay. When you see the transactoin on your credit card statement it is all systems go. All you have then is a long wait until they get their arses in gear and post the tickets off to you
-
Many thanks for the quick replys. I guess I'll see you all down the AOC office in June then!
Cheers
HTB!

Doubt it mine are already ordered ;D
-
So should I re-phrase the question.
How do you book camping tickets 18 months in advance?
-
Photocopy a spare orderform, change the date on the top to suit the year and send it off 18 months in advance. There may be other methods for the computer literate but I have been using the same photcopies since 1999 and it has been accepted every time, as long as you remember to change the date.
I think it was Smokie who mentioned something about a preferential customer list but I don't know how you go about getting on it as I have never failed to get tickets by using the tried and tested photocopy method.

I use the same "old order form" method mentioned by BOB U (the "year" space on the form looks like a relief map of the polar ice cap there are so many layers of tip-ex). However, my variation is that I fax it over fairly late, then start to panic when I dont get any quick reply from ACO then supplementing it with an appeal on the CA sale/swap board, sweaty palms and running round like a headless chicken till either the sale/swap or ACO comes up trumps. :D
This method has worked for me for the last 10 years - it seems to combine excitement and reliability.

The ACO office I was referring to is at the front (west side) of the ACO stand, not on Expo
-
That sounds like less of a stagger. I will try there first.
Thanks Barry
-
You can use either depends which is nearest

Word of warning, the excellent tradition of French lunch time is still alive and well. Probably best not to go there between 12 and 2.
Learnt my lesson, when in France, chill, and enjoy lunch yourself ;D ;D ;D
-
I can't make this year :( :( so won't be able to get to the ACO office, any chance someone with a "old order form" could scan it and mail it me, so that I can get my tickets for '06 ordered ;) ;D - no worries about the date, I can change that at my end ;) - would be much appreciated, nicely please ;D

Have one here PM me your address

Skorpio, keep a look out for Postman Pat ;D
-
Bob - any chance that you could send it to me as well if I PM you?
Pleeeeeaaaaasssseeeee!

Depending on if the link works, if u go to the ACO site there is a thing to download the booking form ....
www.lemans.org/24heuresdumans/live/pages/billetterie/sommaire_billetterie_gb.html
Should work, otherwise just type in the link!!

In response to something somewhere above, yup, I seem to be on a repeat order list. Each year I drop 'em an email and they say "Of course monsieur, you will get the same as last year"
I still don't trust 'em tho :-)

thank you muchly, very appreciated, will find you next year for a couple of beers ;)
-
Thanks for the link, Fran. I think I'll book our tickets now for next year too, and carve the sodding date in the wall, so DavidsMum can't double-bl**dy-book the weekend again.
I don't care what happens, I will be there in 2006! ;D ;D
-
Them's fightin' words DD!
:o
-
Yes, but i do believe he is serious
-
I've found the easiest way to order tickets for the following year is to E Mail ticket@lemans.org with the details of requirements making sure to highlight the year for which they are required IE 2006, in the fullness of time a confirmation letter is recieved and then as a Christmas Present the ACO send you the bill which you have to pay in 2 weeks (just when life is so expensive), once paid just look forward to June.
Of course don't forget the ferry booking.
-
Damn right he's serious. :o
It was bad enough when shewhomustbeobeyed announced the mix-up, but failure a second time is definitely NOT an option.
I will go to the ball, Cinderella!
See you next year, if not before, somewhere noisy. Meanwhile, I'm just about to try and beat the little bugger's time around Sarthe on GT4.
;D ;D

DD, for what its worth, just found out that i cannot make it this year, i am so gutted as ive been going almost constantly since 1978 .
Believe me when i say i know how you feel :'(
