Thank you for not just amending your post and leaving me looking like a half wit   

That's good news for you, we were fairly sure you were Magic List weren't we?

Those nice people at the PO have just delivered my allocation from those nice people at the ACO - got just what I ordered.  

Houx and Lagache

Actually, the letter says Houx Non Num - I thought Houx was all numbered    Any Houx experts out there??  It has been 17 years since I was last on Houx, so things might have changed a tad since then.

Edit:  Just noticed also that they have allocated me 8 Houx tickets (what I ordered) - all at ACO member's price - so I'm feeling quite chuffed.

8 Houx with Lagache grandstand seems to be the winning combination this year as that was exactly what we ordered and were allocated. 

Houx Non Num never heard of it also on the Beermountain Houx map all seem to be numbered

Never have been on the magic list before, Anita, in spite of ordering tickets since '94 - and before that, you didn't have to order.....just turn up at the gate of your chosen site and pay the man on the gate  (the good old days!!)

15 years for the magic list according to the ACO,so that sounds about right.

Just got this email reply in response to my question WTF is Houx Non Num??

Dear Sir,

 

Don’t worry, there is no difference between the both campsite except the numbers. You will get electricity and water as well and it’s in the same place.

And just to let you know, some of the Houx not numbered are better than some Houx numbered.

 

Best regards,

 

Service Billetterie / Booking Office

Circuit des 24 Heures

We shall see.......whatever, it'll be better than BSJ

Am I the only one that has not their allocation?? I'm starting to think that the wife has nicked my ACO letter 

[termietermite]

No  you are not.  In fact, Mr T is being a bit over-optimistic on our behalf!  We're certainly coming but may be standing on the terraces and kipping trackside at this rate. 
Seriously, bookings are confirmed (or have been in the past) in customer number order.  Thus the longer you've been going, the earlier you are put out of your misery.

Mine arrived yesterday.  Got what we asked for Grandstand (ACO) & parking (Blanc) wise. We don't camp so no problems there, thank god!

Like many of us on here I put my request in on the Monday after the test weekend, as there isn't a test weekend this year when do we put our requests in for 2010?  First Monday in June?

Well I was starting to wonder, It would be nice to know so I can start to panic !!!!!!

I've been pondering this question as well. 

Debs, any chance of a call to the billetterie some time to get an answer?

Surely it must be in date order, Debs??  Three years ago I emailed my order early, but I had the date in my PC set a month ahead of the actual date - and this was the date they used.  I was bumped well down the list both in the allocation (I got BSJ) and in receipt of the allocation letter.

[Lorry]

We've been booking with the ACO for 20 years and still haven't heard.

You're probably right Debs, but you have to allow for the usual chaos and the French Postal system

[termietermite]

And we French based types always seem to be last!  I can't phone anybody from here (although they can phone me) and the office is closed at the weekends.  But I'll maybe send them an e-mail next week.  Otherwise I'll no doubt pick up 3 tickets from somewhere.  I'm still rather hoping that DFH's multiple booking comes off as I don't fancy a long hobble from the campsite to the circuit.
