4 LM Classic tickets wanted
« on: April 12, 2006, 09:35:07 am »
I've buggered up our tickets! Left it too late again. I've just been on to the LM classic site and found that the Grandstands are all sold out. I need 4 tickets with grandstand seating and a camping pass for MB or I'll be in for it!

Can anyone help?

Oh dear.....we were talking about the Classic ages ago as well - you are going to be in trouble!

There is an outside possibility that I might be able to liberate one grandstand tickeck (Leonard) nearer the time as if Keith K get's media accreditation he probably won't need the one that I've bought for him.   

Is camping sold out for the Classic as well?  :o   Might have to rethink our plan of going down late in the week. 
Good luck.

First person there stakes out a CA enclave?

I think you can still get camping passes, no mention of them being sold out that I can see. Says contact the ACO.
Don't know if it's MB though, I'd contact them direct, if the Grandstands have all gone, then the event might be attracting a bigger crowd than most of us thought it would.

Unless they've had a re-think it's only MB that is being used for the Classis so perhaps it is sold out?

Yes, perhaps a CA enclave is the right way to go, we probably won't be there until the tail end of the week - too may race meetings and not enough holiday time!

They'll be 20 of us East Anglian Cobras (10 cars) at the Classic, arriving Thursday afternoon, so we'll need a LARGE CA enclave.

I know of at least 2 other Cobra groups with upwards of 20 cars also going.

I think camping passes won't be a problem, just grandstands. Does the campsite open on thursday Steve? I'm sure I read on the ACO site it opens 8:30 Friday. We should be there for around 9- 9:30am ish, hope there will be room!

There's going to be a LOT of cars and a LOT of people at the gates on Thursday then.

From the Cobra Replica Club forum there is -
South West - 70 people
West Midlands - 25 people
Wales / West / South - 40 people
East Anglia - 20 people

All in noisy cars, all arriving Wednesday / Thursday  :D

I've just emailed the ACO to ask them when the campsite opens - I'll post the response.

Thanks, Anita.

We may have to take along some wire cutters though  ;)

Apparently, the Triumph Sports Six Club have exclusively booked Tertre Rouge campsite for the Classic - about 370 people!

Yep - we were heading for getting there Thursday and we thought that was late!!   We could let Smokie go in ahead of us and take out the fence posts  ;) ;D

Having looked at the Classic Web site there is ONLY action listed for Friday, Saturday, Sunday - scruiteering etc. is all from Friday so maybe it is only Friday.... :(

The ACO have responded to confirm that the campsite is open from noon on Wednesday. 

I'll start a thread in the General Forum and perhaps we can work out who the advance party will be......

I like the way people have booked the trip before they even know when the racing is on  ;D
