Tickets - when will they arrive?

[Steve Pyro]

I'll be in Houx Annexe from Wednesday afternoon.

[Hardpoint]

That may be a good alternative. I'm gonna e-mail JT next month and see if I can't get them shipped out a little early. Thanks.

I spoke to ACO this morning,  I asked when this year tickets would be going out. the lady said end of the month.

I've got a feeling deliveries will be arriving late this year...

I live half an hour from the circuit and buy my tickets direct.  Still, they don't get printed until a month or so before the race (once the 24 hour bike race is out of the way.  My advice for anxious purchasers is to order the tickets direct from the ACO and pick them up at the "Centre d'Exposition" (opposite the airfield) when you arrive.  If you plan to come the following year, you can then put your provisional order in straight away and will get the best campsite/tribune spots at the best prices.

Just as a bit of info, when i went to the PQ in 04 and collected my tickets, the ACO actually printed them there and then!  Nothing had been sent out up to that point!

That's a nice idea, the trouble is that for those of us who arrive on the Sunday before the race the wecome centre isn't open and we then have to go to collect the tickets on Monday morning (and IIRC it's not a 9am start for them?). 

Secondly I think Paddy and others booked their camping tickets that time last year and still go bumped off MB!! 

I think having a french address may be the advantage you have over the rest of us!

So did we, and I think they printed them there and then in 2003 too.  Last year we managed to collect at PQ too, although hardly anyone went.

I think we must have collected tickets for at least 10 years, following the great disaster of 1990, when they forgot to send them out at all.  We arranged for part of the team to collect them, as they'd arrive a fews hours before the main party.  They sat outside MB drinking warm beer for 4 hours waiting for us, as we were a little late. They were completely legless. We had to help them back in, once we'd relieved them of £1,000 worth of tickets.
