Title: 4 LM Classic tickets wanted Post by: Lazy B'stard on April 12, 2006, 09:35:07 am I've buggered up our tickets! Left it too late again. I've just been on to the LM classic site and found that the Grandstands are all sold out. I need 4 tickets with grandstand seating and a camping pass for MB or I'll be in for it!
Can anyone help? Si Title: Re: 4 LM Classic tickets wanted Post by: Piglet on April 12, 2006, 09:57:13 am Oh dear.....we were talking about the Classic ages ago as well - you are going to be in trouble!
There is an outside possibility that I might be able to liberate one grandstand tickeck (Leonard) nearer the time as if Keith K get's media accreditation he probably won't need the one that I've bought for him. Is camping sold out for the Classic as well? :o Might have to rethink our plan of going down late in the week. Good luck.

I think you can still get camping passes, no mention of them being sold out that I can see. Says contact the ACO. Don't know if it's MB though, I'd contact them direct, if the Grandstands have all gone, then the event might be attracting a bigger crowd than most of us thought it would. Title: Re: 4 LM Classic tickets wanted Post by: Piglet on April 12, 2006, 04:34:50 pm Unless they've had a re-think it's only MB that is being used for the Classis so perhaps it is sold out?
Yes, perhaps a CA enclave is the right way to go, we probably won't be there until the tail end of the week - too may race meetings and not enough holiday time!

I know of at least 2 other Cobra groups with upwards of 20 cars also going. Title: Re: 4 LM Classic tickets wanted Post by: Lazy B'stard on April 13, 2006, 08:16:56 pm I think camping passes won't be a problem, just grandstands. Does the campsite open on thursday Steve? I'm sure I read on the ACO site it opens 8:30 Friday. We should be there for around 9- 9:30am ish, hope there will be room!

I'm sure I read on the ACO site it opens 8:30 Friday ...... There's going to be a LOT of cars and a LOT of people at the gates on Thursday then. From the Cobra Replica Club forum there is - South West - 70 people West Midlands - 25 people Wales / West / South - 40 people East Anglia - 20 people All in noisy cars, all arriving Wednesday / Thursday :D Title: Re: 4 LM Classic tickets wanted Post by: Piglet on April 13, 2006, 09:09:27 pm I've just emailed the ACO to ask them when the campsite opens - I'll post the response.

We may have to take along some wire cutters though ;) Title: Re: 4 LM Classic tickets wanted Post by: Steve Pyro on April 13, 2006, 09:49:25 pm Apparently, the Triumph Sports Six Club have exclusively booked Tertre Rouge campsite for the Classic - about 370 people!

We may have to take along some wire cutters though ;) Yep - we were heading for getting there Thursday and we thought that was late!! We could let Smokie go in ahead of us and take out the fence posts ;) ;D Having looked at the Classic Web site there is ONLY action listed for Friday, Saturday, Sunday - scruiteering etc. is all from Friday so maybe it is only Friday.... :( Title: Re: 4 LM Classic tickets wanted Post by: Piglet on April 14, 2006, 10:43:35 am The ACO have responded to confirm that the campsite is open from noon on Wednesday.
I'll start a thread in the General Forum and perhaps we can work out who the advance party will be......
