Le Mans Classic 2006 - ticket acknowledgement
« on: February 06, 2006, 03:44:41 pm »
I emailed and faxed our Classic ticket requirements before Christmas but haven't heard a jot from the ACO since.

Has anyone had any kind of written / emailed acknowledgment of their ticket request and / or a request for payment? ...... or am I getting paranoid?

Steve,

Same here. I emailed my request a month ago and not so much as a return email.  ???

I emailed my request at the end of November and when I didn't hear anything from the ACO I chased them up about it.  I was told they should start allocation in Jan or Feb.  So that would be anytime now then...

I booked around Christmas and haven't heard anything either.

Given that the Classic is becoming more popular I wonder if they might have to open another campsite?

MB was not full at the last Classic. As there is a clash with Goodwood, and the proximity to the main event, will the same number of Brits be going?

We applied as soon as prices were announced, October/November, and have not heard anything yet.

Got home, 7-8 letters see the ACO one leave it 'till last so that I can savour it and what bloody happens bloody circular for something which I have already paid for...horlicks - wahat a shxtty day I have had.

I have done all the bokings online for my mum and sister to go to Aussie for a month, this sat, just checking everything when I realise that the plane coming back from Gatwick to Guernsey is a day late, no refunds or changes...fxxk fxxk fxxk... what do I do, tell them or let them find out when they get back to UK at 05.30?

I will have to tell them and cough up the £50 - £75 extra for the change... fxxcking shxty day

I was priviledged enough to get two letters from the ACO yesterday. One, obviously, was the junk about the Club24. The other one baffled me somewhat. It said that if I did not pay for my MB and La Gache tribune ticket allocation for the 24 Hrs my order would be cancelled. This was a mystery seeing as they had deducted the funds from my credit card last month!! A swift phonecall this morning soon straightened out the problem but I have to say it's all a bit worrying.
I wouldn't sit there if I were you, it's still a bit wet.

Same here Andy.  Two wonderfully letters from the ACO.  Kept back for opening with a coffee and cream bun.  Prompting me to join the club.

I can understand why the ACO want you to pay twice, I've just seen Goodwoods prices.  A mate has just taken out a second mortgage to buy 4 tickets.

FOS  £88 entrance, £153 with grandstand
Revival  £88 entrance, £176 with grandstand.

I think I'm paying under £100 for the entrance and Jaguar grandstand.  Once the ACO find out, that should double.

I was going to go to Goodwood this year too
