Hello,

Iam looking for Karting Nord tickets for the 2005 Le Mans 24H.
hope anyone can help me the ACO seems to making ordering of campsite tickets more difficult every year.

Thanks in advance.

He Knetter,

Thanks for your reply.

I had 150 tickets for Karting Nord but the ACO charged way more then face value because they wanted me to pay for the water and showers as well.
As i understood it from the ACO they are only selling the Karting Nord tickets in bundles of 4000m2 (150 tickets) but that costed me about 55,-- a piece and my plan was to wanted to sell them to real le mans racefans for face value, thats way we passed the tickets but now created a problem for myself that i haven`t got any arghhhhhh.

Think the ACO is making a mess of it this year, have lots of ACO member friends so probarbly we will get HOUX tickets and thats not bad. if one spare stays left i will send you an email.

All the best and till june!!

Greetz,
Jeroen

Yep, but Paddy just think without this cock up you wouldn't be on Maison Blanche which is where you need to be!!!

and what's that with these smilies tonight ?  

Karting Nord appears to have been taken over with very large groups over the last few years, including groups with coaches and support trucks.
Maybe the ACO has now acknowledged this and are hence preventing the average Joe who wants 2 or 3 KN passes from camping there.
Thus your average Joe gets BSJ!  

If the ACO can try to pass on the cost of showers and toilets to those with 150 passes, they'll make more money this way.

I still can't understand why someone would want to buy 150 tickets (big cost risk) and then sell them on at face.

Sounds like c*nt to me, as well.

My reply and explenation to all!!!! Before you totally get the wrong idea.

Yes we had commercial reasons for buying the tickets, last year we did the same. The ACO last year gave 50% discount if we bought 50 tickets or more so we bought 50 tickets and sold them for face value everybody happy.  Desperate people got tickets and they didn`t need to buy them for the rip-off prices ticketsagents were selling them for and we earned some cash !!

This year the idea was the same but the ACO changed the rules and charged E 61,33 a ticket, because we didn`t want to buy them for more then they were worth we refused.  

The ACO would never had sold any of you the tickets so if my plan worked you would have had the tickets and for face value!!! Offcourse we would have earned money with it but thats just fare i think we also toke the financial risc. The prove that iam right is that none of us have Karting Nord tickets or does someone have them?? Think not they were all sold to travelagents now how will make big bugs out of them.

Thanks a lot you`l for all remarks made for someone how just wanted to make some bugs (how doesn`t) and help you to abtain the tickets.

H,

Your right we took 150 tickets out of circulation and with that created unwillingly troubles for other fans.
We did it to make profit and because we wanted to prevent that the tickets would be sold of for sky high prices because we all know the campsite tickets are sold out days after the race finishes.

If the tickets were mine you would had all known it because i would had advertised with them on sites like these and the many other sites available you`l know which ones iam talking about.

I made an error this year with the quantity money seems to have taken the better of me and fore that i want to appologize to all how think it`s my fault that they haven`t got tickets.
It isn`t me how changed the system of how tickets are sold, for that you need to blame the ACO how doesn`t want to sell tickets a piece anymore and prefers to sell them in large quantity`s.

I was just to one how acted on the changed system, with normal reasons not to sell them for double the money otherwise i would had bought the 150 tickets and sold them to you all !!

Hope this explains enough.
