I wonder how many people there are out there who have always camped in a private site away from the circuit or used a hotel who bought their tickets on arrival and so are blissfully unaware of the situation!
A couple of guys I know would have been in that situation had I not told them of the chaos. Will there be tickets to buy "on the day" so to speak? |

Yes, quite a few I suspect. The guys I used to go with always bought their entry tickets on arrival and only lucked in as I got their GS tickets from 1st Tickets for them and now of course you have to by a GE ticket at the same time. Otherwise they'd be stuffed now.
As to tickets on the day, all indications are that there won't be any, but I just wonder how many locals know that and if the ACO will hold some back for them? |

Yeah, there have been mentions elsewhere of near-riots at the entrances and climbing over fences if there are no tickets on the gate. There's also the question of where they'll park as well.... (if they don't tram in).

Is there no word on this then locally Eric? Are the local people aware of the ticket situation?

You'd have thought so and you'd think that 'locals' who have always bought on the gate in the past would be kicking up a stink about it by now....

300K people? What would be a normal crowd for LM?
The combination of this being the 100-year anniversary and the new cars has sure created a buzz. Record crowd at Daytona this year as well. Hopefully this will spawn a new age in Sports Car racing. |

Aside from ticketing chaos I imagine there will be a few compromises for regulars over the next couple of editions. Hopefully it'll all be worth it and the ACO don't mess anything up too badly on the ground.

So, an additional 50K+ with less camping areas. Sounds like a major fiasco to me.

Big crowds Saturday noon til 5 or 6 pm. Our GS is normally packed anyway. Moving around to GS and for beers and toilets behind main GS strip will be slower but can’t be that much busier. Away from GSs now crowds out past Dunlop.
Camping impact mainly driving in and out on Friday (and Thursday?) under track by Porsche curves. If driving in on Saturday could be fun as locals will park anywhere and everywhere. If tickets on sale at gate hopefully locals will arrive early too and tickets won’t be unlimited. Lots of corporate tickets shouldn’t impact crowds too much and walking in from campsite normal and hopefully easier for buses and shuttles inside track. We can’t moan about camping and ticket shortages and overcrowding at the same time can we Looking forward to packed crowd, good weather not too hot and a great race. |

I'm concerned about getting out to Arnage late on Saturday night. It was a nightmare last year and I won't be parked in such a convenient place.....
