Is Blue Nord the new Maison Blanche for 2009?

[smokie]

I've been told that 78 of the 90 tickets which Team Langoustine had for Blue Nord have been snapped up by Club Arnage members.

I fully appreciate that you may regard purchasing from an "agency" undesirable but, they would be very happy to take anyone's money:)  I also realise that this thread is bending the Club Arnage rules, but it is intended to assist members rather than be an advert.

So if anyone is short of a ticket and wants to join a load of other CAers on Bleu Nord then there they have 12 tickets left - but be quick! Mail theguys@teamlangoustine.com

I don't know price, or whether these are marked pitches (and therefore maybe contiguous)

Lastly, I am not on a bung from them, nor am I in direct contact with them!! 

PS Having now typed this, I am curious who the 78 are, as most people had themselves sorted. I can think of a few, but how did we arrive at 78??


UPDATE: I was somewhat impolite about agencies in the original version of this, but having now seen their prices I think that they are actually very reasonable, and are a good solution to many peoples problem. SO I've modified it.

We're on Bleu, which is what I asked for, having found last year that it was really convenient - and it saved us a few Euros to boot.  Thus I can't imagine why anybody would pay agency prices.

By the way - why is it Blue Nord?  Bleu Nord or Blue North but a mixture of the two?

 They are marked pitches and are priced at £65 a pop which is a tad over but not the £90+ being asked by other agencies, also no need for 2x GA tickets per pitch as with other agencies which is generally where you get screwed. The ACO are asking €53 IF you can get them directly from them, lol.

I think it's a heads up for Andy there Smokster otherwise it was going to be BSJ for a great many bods.

£65 strikes me as not bad at all, for an agency, I have to say.

78

That's approaching the critical mass where all livers explode.

Be there, or be sober.

Smokie,

A lot of us didn't get any of our choices from the ACO.

Word was spread by PM and now there are a load of us in one site and we can make the best of it. BTW, DfH will be there are well.

So we are going to have the biggest non-stop party of the year, the 2nd being in August.

Excellent - shades of days on KN.  With you and DfH there too, that'll be me needing to engage the liver in some even more serious and sustained pre-race training than usual before June then......

[Lorry]

We've just got our allocation, and we've not got MB again, so Blue Nord here we come.

After last years little problems, does anyone know where we can get telegraph poles from?

For that real Steve McQueen security fence

I guess i am not on the privilaged PM list then, as we are desperate for 7 BN passes. Been offered Pincindere. Have sent an e mail tonight to team Langoustine and hope they still have some left.
