MB vs KN

[Evil Genius Zarse]

Hi

Few of us planning our 3rd pilgrimage this yr. Have stayed in KN & been very happy with it.

Keep reading about MB being the place to be so;

1) Is MB that much better that KN
2) Are tickets still available, if so, where from??!!

Cheers

MB is only better in my book, as lots of the regulars on this forum camp there, and so as well as cyber talk, we are able to get involved in other things.

I got the impression that KN was being turned into more organised group areas.

If you're looking for tickets for MB they are on allocation with the ACO, they seem to be the hardest site to get. There are numerous other threads on availability of these - try searching on 'MB' or Maison Blanche'.

If you want to obtain them now your best bet is to keep checking back on the 'Sell or Swap' section of the forum. The nearer it gets to race time the more seem to become available as people drop out of groups etc..

The benefit of getting them via a CA contributor is you will get them at face value as no profiteering is allowed, unlike if you went to a ticketing agancy, who will charge a huge premium, and may want to tie you in with a package of some description.

So is HA the new MB Steve?  

...Me and my lot will be on HA... will have to create some sort of sign to help with identification for passers by. Foul smell's won't really help me thinks...!!

Hi StuartC,
                 In a word. NO. As Robbo points out many CA'ers camp there. KN has the Bretheren, what more need one say? Blue has Andy & Barry and as yet no one has adopted BJ but that too will happen soon enough. Steve like HA as do many others. Some even like Tetre Rouge though I think they spoiled that one in recent years. Contrary to popular  belief the wearing  of Pink on MB is not madatory although strongly recomended.

                 KN has the Bretheren,

Seem to remember reading that the Bretheren are upping sticks to Technopark, problems getting tickets for KN.

That's right Barry, Technoparc here we come.

We've been put on the waiting list for KN. I read on a previous post on the swap or sell forum that it would seem the ACO are selling large blocks of tickets for KN to agents and the like, so our meagre group of 60 didn't seem to qualify even though I ordered back in April 2004.

This waiting list business has been going on for a while now, it would seem that the ACO hang out to see if they can sell these blocks at inflated prices. When this doesn't happen they get released to the plebs, so there is still the possibility that we may hit KN if the ACO can't pack enough Danes in there.

Jeez, so that put me with no chance whatsoever having ordered only 4 tickets in June '04 for KN
Indeed, we have been put to TP but I found expensive tickets for MB. It's only once a year
