Faxed my order on the 6th June, surely that wasn't too late.  :(

Who knows....there seems to be no rhyme or reason to the allocations this year.    What did you ask for? 

Just 2 camping passes for MB.  Hopefully that small enough to slip through the net, but I suspect we'll get bumped to somewhere like BSJ or BN

I called Just Tickets today just to see what they had left on the camping front.... The nice Lady told me that they still had had passes for all sites except MB and Bleu/Bleu Nord.
She also said that they had the full allocation thay always ask for.... and would open a waiting list for sites if required.

Big H
A man of your standing on both sides of the channel should be carried to Lemans shoulder high and given a position on the starting gantry.
After years of worrying about tickets etc etc we staying about 25 miles off camp last year and had a great time.The road to and from the circuit was epic and even though we thought we wouldnt be seeing too much of the race,we actually saw more.In past years it was all too easy to slope back to the warmth of the motorhome and watch on Eurosport.
Last year once we were at the track,we stayed for much longer, but in the evenings leading up to the race,we managed to get out and see more.
One night we drove out for a meal and I saw a sign to Lemans which was further than Lemans was to Caen
While 9 pm a the Shampoo is an event never to be missed,we were getting into the same old routine each year to be truthful it was getting a bit tedious.
Im sure H,even if you came over on your own,your CA buddies would still make sure you have a great time

Well the confirmation arrived today, so we will be on BN (2nd choice).
However if anyone has a spare MB I'd like to be on the waiting list . We'd be very quiet, always asleep by 22:30 and never up before 9am , and I've never been known to set fire to anything that wasn't mine.

Well that's our message arrived today saying, with lots of apologies, that despite the earlier allocation, it has been changed and we're now not on MB but back on BN, which is where we were last year.  C'est la vie, so I'm afraid, Paddy, that the lorry won't be brought into play and you'll have to live with meeting Alex on the Friday night, or earlier if I pop by to say hi before then....

Minor detail about the bike, too bad you didn't get MB tickets either :-\

Makes me wonder how many people they actually have planned for BN, it almost seems like everybody gets dumped onto that site :-X

 :o ::)  nice  ::)   That's got to be a first!   

Let's hope one of those isn't heading Powermite's way for our tickets.

Powermite,

As the only person to be offered MB this year, where are you staying?

At the same gaffe as last year?

no Griff this year George,he's got a race the same weekend
I know you love to be on site but if you fancy a change.you're more than welcome to hang out with the WANCs
BTW the Popemobile crew have also got MB again,and they all live near me!
Must be a Welsh only site!Perhaps they are allowing sheep on MB this year
