- | You can order tickets direct from the A.C.O. either by phone, or by using their on-line booking system http://www.lemans.org/fr/billetterie. This was completely re-vamped in 2010 with the result being total chaos out of which only a few forum members ended up with what they wanted, but - with luck - things will be better next time around. We certainly hope so! There is, in theory at least, priority for ACO members but again, the system was less than perfect. We live in hope. | + | You can order tickets direct from the A.C.O. either by phone, or by using their on-line booking system http://www.lemans.org/en/tickets . |

+ | The A.C.O. online ticketing system is available in English, but some of the terminology used can be a bit confusing. Also, not all tickets are available online as blocks of tickets are allocated to official agencies. Being an A.C.O. member will (in theory) give you advance access to tickets, but the experience of the Club Arnage community is that the even when given that access, many tickets are already showing on the site as 'sold out'. It IS possible to go 'solo' on buying tickets for Le Mans from the A.C.O. but many people prefer to pay the premium for the simplicity of buying through a UK (or local country) ticket agent or tour operator. | ||
