Ah Pete, I'm not really sure that I actually know what I'm missing as there's no resource to compare what I have to....
If you could take a few pics of what you have and send them to my website email, that'd be great.
I'll see what I can do. Currently about half way through photographing everything. Once completed I'll pop copies over. Smashing - many thanks.  |

You could try contacting cotswoldroadandrace - a seller on Ebay who specialises in Le Mans memorabilia. I collect Le Mans tickets* and have bought those plus other vintage Le Mans items from Charles there. He might make you an offer for the lot. *If you have any tickets amongst the collection I may be interested, although I do have an extensive collection including 1993 to date, you may have some I don't have. https://www.aysedasi.co.uk/tickets/ |

No madness as far as I'm concerned. There are a lot of tickets coming up on the resale site. In this e-ticket day and age, you're taking a huge risk now buying them from eBay and even from anyone you don't really know. I both bought a ticket on the resale site and sold a ticket back last year. Makes perfect sense to me. There were actually only a fraction of the normal number of tickets available on eBay for this year's event and there have been hardly any since ticketing opened and the event sold out. I suspect that sales/swaps on forums like this, PH and Ten Tenths actually account for a tiny fraction of the tickets sold - certainly nothing like a majority. Let's face it, there's only a post every 2-3 weeks here....  |

Yep. Today has seen weekend entry, full week entry and full week/Chapelle GS. Yesterday there was Prairie camping and Panorama and Expo parking, amongst others. I'm assuming now that many will have heard from their agencies about what they have for them, which should trigger some more 'bought just in case' resales.

That's why we use Just Tickets. You pay a bit more but get the tickets. They pay a fee to be ticket agents and still get shafted by the ACO.
And that fee is at least €15k (maybe more for the bigger agencies) - that's a lot to make back from a markup on ticket prices and enforced GE purchase all the time you are fielding the complaints (that should be directed at the ACO) from people who don't stand a chance of getting what they wanted/previously enjoyed. To the other point on people's angst over members creaming off the best tickets - it's not a closed club, anyone can join and whilst I dislike the way the tickets have been sold/allocated in the past few years (and the big percentage price hikes), people complaining that they didn't get the chance to purchase because they were not members seems somewhat bizarre to me as the opportunity is open to all. What does seem unfair to me, and was highlighted by a friend, is that the member allocation does not reward loyalty where people who joined the day before the tickets went on sale have been allowed the same access as those that have been members for 20+ years, supporting the club through the good and the lean times. One would have thought that some form of reward for loyalty could have been implemented (perhaps allowing 'seasoned' members the option to purchase a few more tickets, or opening the sale a day earlier as a recognition of loyalty?) I very much agree. In fact, long standing members lost out as their 'standing orders' were not honoured this time, they were put back in the pot with all the other members. As you say, I've been a member for 27 years and get nothing more than someone who joined on 6th November.... |

From the levels of angst I've seen on the likes of Facebook, there is plenty of animosity from the French towards the ACO and their ticketing processes right now..... I don't think it's confined at all to foreigners. In fact, most of the annoyance seems to have been caused by the apparent huge increase in membership, with members 'creaming off' every decent ticket.... I must admit it has surprised me - after last year's ticketing for this years race - that so many people have been so completely unprepared for what has happened, ticketing-wise. It's a concern though. It once was the case that if you wanted to be safe and secure your tickets, you paid the premium and went to a good agency, now it seems that the agencies are struggling to get enough tickets to meet even their existing customers - so why is this happening?

When I get back on, will check the tickets on my account.
Seems that Chapelle is less expensive than CAT2 tickets as well (maybe because it is unallocated!?)
€149 ACO Member week ticket and Chapelle
€131 Student weekend ticket and Chapelle
Hi guys, for me it’s the first time that I’m going to visit the 24h LeMans. I become a member of the ACO and bought two tickets for 180 euros per ticket. But on my ticket is displayed “T03 Bis - Chapelle”. I’m really disappointed of the sales system. Anyone else got the same problem? I wrote them a mail and I’m looking forward for their answer. I will report… When did you become a member? Most members bought their tickets last week. If you've only just joined, the only grandstand left today was Chapelle which the ACO added, intended mainly for non-members. |

* UPDATE *
Ayse is right - only Chapelle left today.
Managed to bag another 4 tickets.
Looks like is is unallocated seating - and tickets say it is not covered.
It was for sure this year.......
Going to have 2 Spare GE / GS at some point now..........
Unallocated, that's strange. I know I've sat in that stand with a cover..... Mystery solved. There are two Chapelle grandstands. The existing one (T03) and the new temporary uncovered stand Chapelle 3Bis...... |

Yeah. I assume the ACO will set up their resale site again. As and when people are advised what their agencies can supply them there will be a load of 'I'll buy these just in case' tickets that come up for sale.
