I don't know about "these days". I don't think there's ever been a suggestion that you get further up the list by being a member. When I asked the ACO about this the only thing mentioned was the 15 year "magic list". ACO membership just gets you cheaper tickets and entry to members' areas.
When I did my little survey a couple of years ago it was clear that allocations were made in date order according to when they were submitted, and that the letters were sent out in customer number order. But of course, things do change....

"Dear Sir,
No it's not possible, the waiting lists are closed and we have only availability in Beauséjour or Pincenardière.
Yours faithfully."
Is the response that Ive just received from ACO when I asked (by email)if I could be put on a waitlist for BN. I may swap to Pincenardiere just for the hell of it!
It was a quick response though!
If you go for Pincenardiere this year, you'll be at the top of the list for that site for next year. Better go for it now you can, next year all the people being bumped from BSJ will end up there That is of course, if the logic holds up! Bumped from BSJ , what a dire thought. I've decided to take one of the 105M plots for three cars on BSJ. This has the "benefit" of being in a section near to the entrance of the site. The benefit doesnt come cheap though at 9euro more than 3 standard tickets. |

Entrance is next to the cross road that takes you under the track nr Porsche curves, head past entrance for MB (on left) to the roundabout. Turn left, under the track and BSJ is on your right. Prob 25-35 min walk to the village from there depending where you get pitched. |

To the track, no. To any facilities, yes (see above!) But as F/S says it can be a nightmare to get in and out of although not such a problem if you have legs. |

Cheers. I wont need to do too much training for a hike like that,the youngster newbie might be in for a shock though. Still got the fingers crossed for BN though.

sorry to add to your woe's Mike, a few years ago chating to a couple of people camped on BSJ, it took them two hours just to get to the campsite entrance from their pitch and then the hike up to the village. Two hours? They must have been pi$$ed, very very lost, or very very slow. I camped on BSJ several times and as much as it's a big site it's not that big! Dx |

They were probably camped in Mulsanne, that should be about two hours, pissed or not!

I drove from HA into Arnage last year on Thursday and Sunday and both times it was a nightmare for both drivers and pedestrians outside BSJ. No footpath, only a grass verge so the hikers, a good few of them pissed, had to walk along the road causing the traffic to be held up even more. If the ACO push more and more campers in that direction the least they could do is lay some footpaths to help free up the roads. But then again that is toooo simple  |

Its round about now that I start wondering if I actually remembered to send in any kind of ticket order - can't find a copy of anything at home! F P.S. Why are some names now in green at the bottom of the front page? |

Everything seems to be 'green' oriented these days  It is because you are a CA Veteran - as is anyone who joined 2005 or before. Del |

They didn't send out confirmations that they had recieved out requests this year Fran. Suggest you phone them up, if you give them your client number from lasts years invoice they can look it up in about 30 seconds. |

We stayed on bsj in 05/06/07. Each time we were in the back field but we took our bikes so could make it to the village in about 15 mins, but this did depend what state we were in! After sampling the excellent hospitality of the dfh party a couple of years ago, we had to walk one of our team members back to bsj as he fell of his bike 3 times in 100 metres  Cycling or walking out of bsj is normally no problem, but driving out is a pain and can take ages. |

Its a 10 minute bike ride from HA to BSJ... and obviously a lot less if you are on MB or KN so its not a great issue. We have been to visit my Dad and his crew on BSJ many times in the last few years and even Lady PP managed it without bleating. The return journey is not always as easy.... if the hospital,ity has been good!! Two hours? They must have been pi$$ed, very very lost, or very very slow. I camped on BSJ several times and as much as it's a big site it's not that big! Dx |
