Title: 4 x Bleu Nord, 4 x General Admission
Post by: jpchenet on June 08, 2006, 12:20:57 am
OK, a lesson in how not to order tickets!
All MB now allocated, as are 26 of the GA's.
4 Bleu Nord Still available, and 4 GA's left!!
I have excelled myself this year. Having ordered tickets through the Le Mans Tourist Board, and not getting everything quite how I wanted it, I managed to get my shortfall covered by a couple of the regulars on the forum and the TVRCC. Tickets all arrived and in hand so no problems there.
Until I got an email from UPS stating my delivery would be arriving tomorrow! ??? So I checked my Credit Card and I have been charged twice! :o
Somehow I have managed to get the same order logged with the ACO directly and the LM Tourist Board. >:( Ironically, both orders are identical to the point that instead of getting 8 Maison Blanche passes I have been allocated 4 x MB and 4 x Bleu Nord, alng with the 30 GA's I ordered to get them at the discounted price.
So, they are all up for grabs at face value! MB I know are €80 each. GA's are at the discounted rate of €53. I believe the Bleu Nord were €45 IIRC.
Can either do a fast deal locally or can deliver at Le Mans any time after Monday (I should be on MB by about 11am!)

Put me down for one general entrance ticket.
How do you want to sort out payment & collection?

Yes we are. We shoudl be easy enough to spot! ;D
We'll be there from about 11am on Monday morning.
Do you need it to get into MB yourself, or is it for a later arrival?

"Should be easy to spot "
Yes, JP, you will be the one wearing a very big sandwich board with "Cheap tickets for sale" on it.

Hi jpchenet
Could we have a Maison Blanche ticket from you and pay you on site Wednesday around lunchtime......
We brought a Blue Nord from you sometime ago and did`nt think it possible to get any MB tickets. Panicking you see......

Obviously JB must have some inside knowledge in finding those elusive rocking horses!!
Typical isn't it - you wait all day for a bus and then two come along at once.

Would have been a lot easier (and cheaper) if they'ed just allocated my normal order in the first place!

Tough choice, if I had to make it, without doubt it would be MB every time. You may wish to reconsider!!

I'd ring my credit card company and demand my money back. The ACO can have their tickets upon arrival next Monday. It's their problem, not yours, they should have notified you.Title: Re: 4 x Maison Blanche, 4 x Bleu Nord, 30 x General Admission

I still disagree with the rediculously late action of the ACO. Almost seems like they "found some in their draw". Why on earth do they wait this long to send cards? How the hell are you supposed to plan for a party of 30 like this? ??? >:(

Paddy- Do pay attention ::) Just for once the ACO are blameless. They haven't just found the passes, they confirmed them to JPC ages ago. JPC ordered them from both the ACO and the Tourist Office. It was only when the tickets arrived that he realised that he'd double booked.
The ACO are not too clever, but this time it's not their fault. ;)

In fact, I don't know if I can be trusted to do the simplest of tasks, like collecting your GA's off Kpy for instance! ;) ;D

You can always drop them in at The ticket collection and they'll sell them for you. We did it with a parking ticket the other year and called Sunday during race to pick up the dosh.

Yep, that's what Kpy suggested to me (and a few others since) so if I can't get rid of them before I go I'll try that!
