Not for me - compared to last year it was a complete disaster.    Was in and waiting long before 10 am CET and of course then got bounced out and was made to wait the best part of an hour to get back in again.  By that time there was next to nothing left in T17/T18.  I ended up with 2 tickets together in T17, 2 tickets together in T18 and a single 'orphan' ticket in T18.  A lot of use when there will be three of us.   Complete shambles with tales of people getting in to the online ticketing and buying tickets long before the 10 am start.  Like pretzel, I'm beginning to wonder why I am bothering to maintain my 27 year membership of the ACO.  This year it has got me absolutely nowhere. 

Break even is once a year for us, but if you left and rejoined at a future point you would have to pay the joining fee again.

I haven't read all the T&C's, but I think there might be slight differences in the benefits for new members compared to long term members.

And not only do friends lose the bit of discount but we also lose the £10.00 from each booking, but heyho.
It's still worth being a member but only just if you only use them once, but as a large supermarket chain says, every little helps!  We try and use them at least a couple of times a year, so with the crossing and onboard food discount it becomes much more worth the annual fee.

Sad times as I was going to cancel my membership as for 1 trip it doesn't seem worth it anymore as I could have used someone's discount code, Now its gone I will have to re look at costs as might be worth me driving again all the way.

He ought to be ashamed!

I'm another who will not be returning in 2025 after 22 years attending.
Huge price rises, to crowded and it's lost it's magic IMHO.

Plus the campsites are crap, and too far away.  Food, drink and souvenirs are very expensive.  They must make good money out of the corporate hospitality to treat the public so badly.  It was better during the covid years when you could watch on big TV for next to nothing.

Pierre Fillon, hang you head in shame

It seemed to open at 8am bst 2 of us got in at 8 and acquired everything we needed with no hassle whatsoever. (Which is a first)

You are not the only ones thinking this. I know several in the same situation and I do feel the whole ACO selling out in 30 minutes and crashing multiple times is a farce. No loyalty anymore, just a cash cow.

My first year was 1989 , I ve missed one year apart from Covid . My group from Liverpool ,Newcastle , Scotland , down south etc. The group has grown and shrunk year over year. But a discussion will take place at Le Mans next year about 2026 , most of the proposals do not include being at LM after next year , The ACO should hang their head in shame over their mistreatment of members and supporters. R I P.

Got thrown out the first time (but, I had logged in at 8am........)
Logged back in, says waiting time over an hour.

This rapidly reduces, waited about 30 minutes in the end.
Managed to get 12 seats more or less together and 6 camping passes, sorted within half an hour.
(THREE Laptops)

Apart from limited availability (no front rows available), just about managed to get what we wanted.

Better than last year, I would say..........
