How far ahead do you book for camping
« on: April 20, 2004, 01:23:41 am »
Booked Houx tickets with the aco in June last year only to be let down in February this year. Got offered Beaujesoir instead. Rather annoying but what can you do? >:(

Nothing at all.  Just join the rest of us who will be camping near the Porshe Curves.   ;D

I am sorted for this year booked with MRI but have had to pay way over the odds. Just thinking of what to do next year.

I have never trusted the ACO so I book through the following

www.justtickets.co.uk - Could not confirm camping until March this year!

www.motorracingtours.com AKA Page and Moy - Packages only (Expensive)

www.airtrack.co.uk - Found cheap this year including MB.

Others are avaliable but I have not used them so cant comment.

It's the same old story every year, I'm afraid.  We booked for 2004 at the 2003 race, in the ACO offices. Credit card details etc were taken, but we still had to pay P&O for the ferry almost 6 months before hearing anything from the ACO  ::) ::)  We did get the campsite we wanted, though  :)
