Is there going to be a problem with entry tickets this year ? shortage?

[Piglet]

If you mean general admittance tickets then there is no shortage as far as I'm aware.  You'll be able to buy them on the gate as always.

I'll have a spare GA ticket...

Hi... I was at Sebring last weekend and managed to get invited to join some fellow revelers at LeMans in June.  Somehow I managed to be responsible for the ticket purchases.  The Auto Club L'Oeste is in French and I speak woefully little of the language.  HELP!! 

From what I understand, it's advisable to get grandstand tickets and that one needs to join the ACO to do so, but with membership one can get as many tickets as needed (In my case it's only 3)  Where do I go/what do I need to do to get tickets?

Thanks for any help.

This requires a longer reply than I have time for!!

The ACO do usually speak pretty good english (or will find someone who will), they also reply to emails pretty swiftly.

You'll find your choice of grandstands is more than limited at this stage of the game although GA tickets are no problem.

Basically for 06 probably all of the Grandstand tickets will be sold. You can always try to pick some up in the buy sell thread on this forum. You also need a general admission ticket whch are available at the gates for around €60. Don't worry if you can't get grandstand tickets as there are plenty of good viewing places around. You don't have to be a member of the ACO to get tickets although you do get them a bit cheaper.

Yes I'd agree tickets are not a problem.    But if your going for a grandstand then be carefull what you buy in stands 15 and 16  the view is a bit restricted in those.  But the rest are fine.

The first qualifying session is Wednesday night traditionally and the tickets will be operative from then although they will get you onto the "inside" campsites from Monday onwards (or Sunday if you go under the fence - Smokie  )

You see that's the sort of comment that gets us chaps a bad name.

Got onto the campsite through the front door on Sunday last year, without too much difficulty.  The real problem was being completely dehydrated and hungry,  L'pool Boys and Smokie were my salvation.

Shan't make the same mistake this year

...and it was more through the fencepost than under it - I misjudged the opening coming off the track with the 'van and lost some trim and dented the side somewhat...

Still that's history now...sold it!
