HELP!!!! Due to many of our party dropping out this year, I have an axcees of camping houx passes. I bought these from Just Tickets with a pair of entry tickets to go with them. They cost me £175 for the set and I have 4 sets to get rid of. First come first serve but if someone comes along and wants all 4 then I will be a very happy person!!

Couldn't believe the price, had to go and have a look at the Just Tickets site and sure enough thats £75 for Houx and £50 for each entrance ticket, not a bad mark-up!!
Almost to the point where they just swap the Euro sign for a £ one..
Good luck in shifting them.

Jesus Christ Ian you are gonna need some luck to shift them at that price. Just tickets should be boycoted, the bastards wouldn't charge those prices then. Good luck

Ian, I assume those of your party who have dropped out have paid you in full for their tickets?
Hence this should be their headache not yours.
Otherwise, no doubt, they are now ex friends.

This doesn't help your cause any, but after realizing the markup Just Tickets charged me for my Bleu tickets, I think that next year I will be looking elsewhere.
I've used them for a handful of years - have I just been to delerious with excitement at going that I've never noticed the markup or has it increased?

You might have more luck if you sell them at ACO/Face Value and make the mates?? cough up the difference.
I normally use Just tickets but I have been shocked at the costs this year!

Just Tickets prices do seem to have become extreme this year, I don't mind paying for the peace of mind they offer and where else do you go other than the ACO? Page & Moy who I used to use now have restrictions on the number of tickets per person, airtrack are no better. Just had a look on e.b*y, there sees to be a glut of tickets there now, hopefully may smell people getting the fingers burnt soon. Feel sorry for people who get let down by there mates etc, has happened to me in the past, so everyone pays me upfront now, and if they drop out tough. http://search.ebay.co.uk/ws/search/SaleSearch?ht=1&satitle=le+mans&sosortproperty=1&sacategory=11730 |

JPChenet got his all through the Le Mans Tourist Board and they gave him his ACO discount. He got the tickets he wanted and he said the service was supurb. Even if we do not get the tickets we are after it will not be long before we are all on BJ anyway.

I got the one extra MB pass I need, plus two of us joined the ACO and got our 12 GA tickets at the members rate. My saviour this year was Smokie who let us have his spare MB tickets! |

.....and our saviour this year is JPChenet - who's done the business for us in securing 4 Houx tickets on our behalf. You rock, dude! |

Everyone,
thankyou all for your feedback!! I agree that this year Just Tickets have really hiked their prices! I`ll not be going back!
I`m pleased to say that I have now got rid of the tickets with no loss, phew!! I am just left with one which I need to swap for a karting Nord as I have another group of friends who I hope to team up with!
Enjoy Le Mans and don`t get too drunk.............well......
