I Think that Merkel phoned Sarkozy in this case.
... yeah, it helps to know the right people ...  |

Well - I am absolutely disgusted!!
When I first tried to get (camping) tickets on 7th Nov, there were none available for the 'good' sites, and I emailed them with my requirements. I received the "......will be registered within 10 days" response. Heard nothing more.
I tried the on line booking system yesterday (don't forget it's been open to non-members for a week), and found there were tickets available on practically every site, including MB. Booked them, but the system would not let me pay - it just hung after entering the cc details. Left it for several hours and finally lost it when we had a short (2 sec) power outage.
Tried again today, but fewer tickets available, and the only ones I could get on MB or BN were non-contiguous, by a long way - like 1 in rang 67, another in rang 81 and 2 more elsewhere!! Eventually booked tickets on Expo - but again the system wouldn't let me pay. Emailed the office, and got a stock answer back.
Just tried again, and managed to get the last 4 tickets on Expo, and it managed to accept my payment.
Similarly, earlier in the month I got T20 tickets as there were none availble in T19. But now there are plenty of tickets for T19 available. I again emailed the office and tried to swap, but with (as yet) no response.
Apart from the obviously very fragile on-line system, how come all these tickets were not availble on the priority system??

You appear to be having exactly the same problem which I've been having with the Classic tickets - once I get to paying it just freezes. I've tried 3 different cards with the same results each time. Barry seems to have had a lot more luck than me for some reason - why it works for some and not for others is a mystery. Mind you, crap purchasing software is common here in France - in fact loads of retail outlets don't even have online purchasing at all, just flimsy websites, poorly written. Is the Big Cheese about because he did talk about a meeting with the ACO to air our grievances - I wonder if anything came of it? As you say, mad that now anybody can buy MB on line when it didn't come up for members only. Given the amount of money I've spent with this organisation over the years, it's turning into a gigantic p*ss take. But maybe this year with a worldwide recession they will get hit in the wallet a bit more (the only reason I can think of for the MB availability at this late stage is that the agencies have pre-sold fewer tickets than they anticipated) and the customer might get a look in for a change. Yeah, yeah, pigs over the Sarthe again.  |

Yeah, yeah, pigs over the Sarthe again. Deb, The agency I use has a massive waiting list both for the 24 hour and the Classic next year for MB spots, the odd ticket always becomes once the exclusive period to cough up the monies ends. In the first instance these then go to the those on the agency waiting list. The only way to guarantee MB tickets, love it or lothe it is to book through the agencies. Jules |

This still doesn't explain how MB tickets are now available to all via the ACO though. And I'd rather sleep in my car than pay the inflated agency prices. Langoustine are OK but some are just taking the p*ss.

And it wasn't only MB - I tried Houx and BN as well, and enough (5) tickets were available on all.

Mentioned to Steve that there always seem to be about 40 people logged in what ever the time these days, he said that they were: 'Generally Google type search engine 'bot's' No idea what that is , but he's an expert. |

Has anybody tried to reset there password on the ticketing website ? It asks you to enter a phone number to receive a text with a code to allow you to change you password, I've tried it 3 times still no SMS received  |

The answer is to ring the ACO: 00 33 243 40 24 24 Ask for the ticket office. A guy called Maxime sorted me out in a flash. |
