Wanted Houx Annexe tickets
« on: February 08, 2004, 04:32:12 pm »
The ACO have let me down again despite booking tickets last July. Can anyone sell me two Houx Annexe 2004 tickets?
Serious replies only please.

£50 quid :-\, I hope thats for all 5 tickets.
 If not these scam artists need to have there bollox ripped off and sold back to them via e.bay.

Call the ACO first there may be some available for other sites or go thru a operator, still pricy, but cheaper than the above and they can do some good prices on ferry crossings.

It may be more than face value but they are no more scammers than the package companies. think £50 for hospitalty, £50 for a £35 race ticket, loaded ferry and camping tickets etc. We bought a package last year and we have no intention of doing it again, I'd prefer to give the guy on e-bay some money than a package Co more.

Not much help now as they have sold out, but page & moy 'only' wanted £30 quid + booking for the same ticket.
Keep in mind the £50 quid stated on e-bay is the starting figure and may go higher.

There is a trend for people to order more tickets than needed, knowing there is a ready black market for them, this may be a cause of the short fall many people find when ordering direct.

You payes your money etc.......

Yes, that £50 EACH.
It's a Dutch Auction for 5 tickets.  Look at the current bids, one's at £125.

I have more than I need (although spares already sold to CA members for face value  :)) but I am reluctant to reduce numbers as there may come a time when I need more than I have, and I bet I'd have trouble increasing my order. I'm happy to get the extras to ensure a few mates get into into MB...

Having said that, I ordered 8 Houx Annexe, 16 General Admission and 6 Grandstand back last June.
I subsequently upped it in December to 10 HA, 20 GA and 8 Grandstand and the ACO were most accomodating.
Thank you ladies.

Theres a big difference between selling a few extras at face value, than buying more than needed with a view to flogging them off for massive profits.

Its a shame someone feels the need to spend £125 for a camping pass when a quick look on this website would bag you some on another site for £30. ???

Being a dutch auction means that the tickets are sold at the lowest price of the succesful bidders. There for if 5 people bidded for one each from £1, £2, £3, £4 and £2000 respectivley, then the price for each one should be £1 as its the lowest suceesful bid. So at the minute they are £60 each.with 3 people bidding for one each.

Might be worth contacting the Le Mans Tourist Office. They may have some left, and sell at face value.
