2023 / Re: Wanted - Two General Admission tickets Le Mans 24 2023

Regretably I am looking for a pair of GA tickets as well.
Having been to the Circuit 24 on almost every year that I could since 1983 up to and including this year, one of the few that didn't have a zing in a class.
I looked up on Wikipedia what is the crowd capacity of the circuit. It showed 263.500.
Personally I thought that in 1988 it was over 300k. Certainly almost crowd surfing to go anywhere that year.

Last year, it was also the walk of the living dead, no packed crowds, more like a club meeting in the 1970's at Mallory Park.
How on earth Pierre Fillon, who shares his profession with the well known humanitarian Assad, reckons restricting ticket restriction is a sound business plan. But there again Assad...

I phoned up the ticket office at Le Mans this afternoon. The person I spoke to said albthe GA tickets were sold out. I asked how many had been sold, was it over 300k. She claimed not to know. She also didn't know whether any more were likely to go on sale and whether any would be sold on the week of the race.
If they are not I think that there will be a riot at the entry gates.
A friend has stayed on the ACO ticket site today and managed to acquire 2 GA tickets and two weekend tickets which were slipped onto the site at random intervals during the day.

In 2023 do you have to buy GA tickets in advance rather than on site on the day.
The website says all tickets are sold out. This can't be correct. We scooped up two Beausejour tickets from the ACO last evening, but would willingly swop them for Arnage.
I must say that the current regime led poorly by Fillon doesn't encourage confidence. The parade gets ever more surreal at every passing year.
