Sorry robbo_24 but there seems to be a shortage of tickets at the moment. Last year there seemed to be dozens, if not hundreds of tickets being passed around, although that may have also been nearer to the time of the race rather than this early. I know a couple of the forum regulars were looking for Houx Annexe tickets, having been let down by the ACO, so any for that site will have probably gone to them. I know it's not ideal, but the ACO still have some tickets for Beausejour. If you can't get the site you want then at least it's a fall back and it's better than not being there at all!!! Good Luck...........and Welcome!!  |

I'm sure you will be able to get tickets for the annexe nearer June.
JP is right, get in contact with the ACO to book some for Beausejour, at least if all else fails you have somewhere. Beausejour can't be that bad can it?
I was able to get 3 Annexe from this site last year at the ACO member price, then we had the devils own job trying to sell 3 for the Expo site.
Good luck

There was plenty of space in HA last year so there must have been a surplus of tickets floating around. Hopefully you'll find the same situation this year.

If you want to risk it, I have managed to buy Houx Annexe tickets at the site entrance on two previous occasions (2000 and 2003). We bought these from the ticket office at the entrance to Houx proper (right next door to Houx Annexe). Also it has often been possible to get tickets from the main Expo site in the past, and you should at the very least be able to get Beausejour tickets from them. It is best to arrive on or before wednesday if you plan to do this. I see the e**y rip off merchants have already started. £50+ for a general entry  and £99+ for Beausejour  claiming it is one of the best situated sites  |

Apparently, there is a special footpath connecting it straight to the village. This added to the fact that it is one of the few sites with proper showers, makes it a very desirable place to be.
Can anyone confirm the existence of the special path (other than down the side of the road)?

I believe there was a new pathway mentioned by Gilles? It's going to also make it easier to get to/from MB.
BTW, £50 for a GA is still cheaper than the agents after they have added their booking fees/hospitality etc!!! Can't imagine anyone would bid on them though!

Exactly! GA's can be purchased at the entry points by anybody for face value. It is perhaps the one ticket you do not need to get in advance. |

There was a thread on this a while ago - try http://www.clubarnage.com/yabbse/index.php?board=1;action=display;threadid=2638;start=0, this should fill in the blanks a bit. It doesn't say anything specific about going to BSJ but does mention the Porsche Curves, which are after all not far from the site. |
