I've seen that before but not in such good res. It's extraordinary how much camping and parking space has been lost, the amount of parking around the main (tribunes) part of the circuit is unlikely to be enough for Wednesday/Thursday, let alone the weekend.

In 2023 do you have to buy GA tickets in advance rather than on site on the day.
The website says all tickets are sold out. This can't be correct. We scooped up two Beausejour tickets from the ACO last evening, but would willingly swop them for Arnage.
I must say that the current regime led poorly by Fillon doesn't encourage confidence. The parade gets ever more surreal at every passing year.

The ACO are reporting (today) that the event is a sell out. Whether any tickets will appear for purchase on the gate (as has always been the case before), I've no idea. It's just completely unprecedented. |

There has been the whiff of hype and hysteria in the press releases from the ACO recently.
I find it difficult to believe that they have sold in excess of 250,000 tickets, a normal number of attendees, in advance.
If they have, they better beef up security, there are an awful lot of French spectators who usually buy their tickets on the gate race week, who will be extremely upset.

I was very surprised to read that it was sold out today. I was planning on attending in 2023 and am in a bit of a panic. I am hoping that they either release more tickets or someone here will have an extra ticket to sell between now and June 10.

I phoned up the ticket office at Le Mans this afternoon. The person I spoke to said albthe GA tickets were sold out. I asked how many had been sold, was it over 300k. She claimed not to know. She also didn't know whether any more were likely to go on sale and whether any would be sold on the week of the race.
If they are not I think that there will be a riot at the entry gates.
A friend has stayed on the ACO ticket site today and managed to acquire 2 GA tickets and two weekend tickets which were slipped onto the site at random intervals during the day.

From the Beermountain FB group,
The Prefecture of Le Mans has capped the attendance at 270 000 on safety and infrastructure grounds.
The added number of corporate and guests will cut into the numbers available for public sale.I also believe I am correct in saying that a sizeable block of tickets each year is kept for locals,by way of a sweetener for all of the disruption raceweek.
As such it will all impact on the quantity remaining.
The ACO achieved what they set out to do which was create a clamour and get the Bank Account full pre Christmas.

That sounds entirely believable to me. |

I think that with all the corporate hospitality getting in the way and all the strange French sideshows, you're better off going in 2024. And the locals will riot if they can't get in. It looks like they're being funnelled into the practice, or directed to a hole in the fence |

Well I've given up trying to get camping passes and tickets. I cancelled my ferry yesterday so I guess its 2024 for us. I'm heading to Tuscany to ride my pushbike down to Rome on all those lovely white gravel roads with a nice bottle of chianti strapped to my frame instead.  |
