Maybe if Mr Pig explained the origin of his ticket we might understand the cost - over to you Mr Pig...?

Have asked for clarification. Are they definitely 38 Euros this year?

There is more than one source of these tickets.
Here is the ACO pricing http://tinyurl.com/9fzm8
Other commercial sources may charge more.

My ACO invoice reads 45 Euro for the ticket and 10 Euro for postage. 55 Euros... what's that in real money?

55 Euro is roughly £38, so maybe £40 isn't too wide of the mark...

So £38 plus £2 for registered postage.
I'd say that's a fair price.
Besides, it's not the selling of a camping pass at perhaps a few quid over face value, it's the prevention of buying tickets with the sole intention of making profit that's key.
I have to say though, looking closer at my ACO invoice, it says the 45 Euros is for a Beausejour ticket with a Houx Annex in reserve. Well the Houx Annex ticket turned up, and if that's listed as 38 Euros, then it's the ACO who's a little out of order 'cos I've not had a 7 Euro refund!

The ACO didn't refund my postage either last year when I collected the tickets at pre-q. Still, I'd asked them to post them so I suppose that's fair enough.

FOR ALL THOSE CONCERNED..................
I paid 45 euros for the ticket and delivery.... So i dont think that 40 pounds sterling is that much to ask
I to love the spirit of lemans and would like to think that in a fix i could also purchace a ticket for this price.
Any way enought of that........ bring on the sacred weekend of cars,beer,cars.beer,cars,beer...........................

HEAR HEAR BEERPIG
Its not like he is asking £100 like that other site.
Having not got any camping tickets, I for one, would be more than happy to take this ticket for a mere £40!
Chill out you lot!!!! ;D
ps I will have at £40 email me: paul@elcon.co.uk

Robbo's view coincides with my own view (which does not necessarily represent CA policy).
I agree we should be vigilante against rip off merchants, but within reason offers for sale at over face value should be allowed. I know it's hard to determine what IS reasonable, but there can be many reasons why someone has paid or asks for over face value (e.g. Just Tickets, postage costs) and I really don't think it is very pleasant for a new member to get a grilling about why they are looking for a few bob over the odds. Hardly a friendly greeting.
It's also a fact of life that people who need a ticket will be prepared to pay a little over the odds. So long as they feel they aren't lining someone's pockets.
If you really believe someone is ripping off, report the post to me and I will deal with it by PM or some means. Please refrain from the sometimes aggressive line of questioning.
