I'm amazed how many tickets are still floating around. I suspect Peugeot's withdrawal has had a greater impact on ticket sales than the economy.

Might be a good deal to be had by people who don't have a grandstand seat yet.

I guess desperation will set in for the sellers by the end of this week as they realise that it'll soon be too late to start 7 or 10 day auctions and still send out tickets for those that are leaving early for LM!
With Agencies, the ACO, and eBay all having plenty of tickets it does make me wonder how big the crowd will be this year!

It'll be big enough not to really notice those who are missing, but a few thousand missing might also ease pedestrian congestion here and there too!

I have a freebie available - sadly not a grandstand seat, but I do have a spare Mulsanne/Arnage parking ticket. It can be difficult to get parked out at those car parks (well, not Mulsanne, but sometimes at Arnage) and this ticket virtually guarantees a spot in the nearest car park to the Arnage entrance, rather than one of the several overflow car parks normally operated further down the road.
I don't want anything for it. So if someone out there is driving to Le Mans and is likely to be heading out to Mulsanne and/or Arnage at some poiint who doesn't have the parking ticket, then here's one you can have. I'll hang on to it until the weekend (Sunday). If there is more than one taker than I'll draw a name out of the hat - to post on Monday.
PM me if your interested.

I hope one of you bought these - about 40% cheaper than the ACO price

grandstand seats in abundance of ACO and at Agents so expect even better bargains as we get closer, The charter flight in and out for the race looks interesting on Ebay

Yep, find someone who lives near you who's happy for you to collect and you could be on to a winner!

Sorry, but I don't understand what you mean?
If it is somebody near me, I could collect myself?
And why not have the tickets send over?

When I said 'someone', I meant a seller - then you can collect...... Getting too close for postage - but then some people aren't heading over as early as me......

OK. Nice little misunderstanding.
Thought you meant a friend who lives near me and that he was supposed to collect the tickets.
Time to go to bed
