Hi there,
I will arrive Thursday afternoon having 2 spare Beausejout-Tickets, time now is too short to sell them via the forum. I remember that someone wrote about the possibility of returning spare tickets to the ACO-office at the track so they will try to resell them. Is that true and where exactly is that office?

Cheers

I've never done it myself, but have heard of it. The ticket office is inside the Rotunda, the round shaped building in the Parc Des Expositions (see map in Useful thread) - outside the track opposite the main entrance.  

I think you give them the tickets and then go back later in the week and if they've sold them they give you your money.

Its exactly as Smokie said. We did it last year with a parking ticket. The nice girls adhere to the rules on this site therefore there is no profiteering. Collected money on the Sunday morning
 Also while your in there book up for next year.

Wotcher,
Yes, I've offloaded a couple of tickets there in the past.
An entertaining time was had when I approached the desk and said to the lovely lady 'I have some spare grandstand tickets'. In a very french accent she replied 'aaah, would you like to give me one'
Cue for every brit (and Carry On fan) within earshot to choke on their coffee.
I would like say that there was a perfect end to this story, and I took her back to my soiled tent and shagged her till I was puffing chalk dust. Instead, she sold my ticket.

Thanks for the imahe Big H !

After visiting the Rotunda last year I can understand what you mean - but is it the quality of the ACO girls, or just that we had been way from home for to long ?

I am waiting for payment to arrive for some spare tickets I have, but if it doesn't arrive in time I will try the ACO myself.

I went into the Rotunde at the Classic to remonstrate about the lack of tickets for 2003. The girls distracted me by bending down and showing an unnecessary amount of tit. It threw me off the trail I can tell you.

On the odd occassion I have found myslef with a late spare ticket I have also sold it on outside the maison blanche campsite in that kind of dodgy ticket tout way!.  Always sold at face value though (honest!).

I had three spare campsite tickets that I took up to the rotunda and thay said that they did not have the facility to sell even though there had been enquirys. I asked where could I sell them and she pointed to the front door and told me to sell them outside to people coming in.Strange? Not very helpful at all. Incidentally there were some beautiful women in there but the one I talked to was an unco operative old bag.

As I was the one who started this thread, here's the final result: I gave 4 camping-passes back to the ACO-office at the track and they managed to sell 3 of them
