Seems to me that they've finally sorted their ticketing website, which is now fit for purpose, but still managed to create a complete ticketing mess for their customers (and agents, from what I'm hearing), who haven't got a clue what's going on.
I think, because of the centenary event, they knew there would be plenty of spectators. So they had to work with the security local authorities to define really how much people the circuit could accomodate.

Following a tip off on here, I purchased weekend Expo car park tickets as an ACO member a few weeks back. Those tickets weren't in my account until I chased up this week. If you are only after car parking, might be worth talking to ACO before 29th.

I think that's very sound advice, unless a person is hell bent on parking in one of the car parks yet to be put on sale, which we don't even know will be put on sale per previous years.

I've already posed the question of my contact at the ACO..... That was my tip-off, perhaps I should have phoned as well!

So presumably anyone who's purchased and already received their tickets in the first wave of ticket sales will be expected to pay ANOTHER 35 euros if they purchase camping or parking tickets in the second wave of ticket sales next week...?

e tickets with everything in one place/ one screen great for Le Mand this year. Did carry a charger pack though.

Getting people in group to show right printed tickets at Classic at right times was a bit tricky.

Best of luck for next week.

They will send the parking or camping tickets after the 29th, it's an ACO's decision. I don't think we will have to pay another shipping.

That’s really excellent news, very pleased to hear you've been afforded early access to tickets, especially after last year's fiasco!

Well done Simon and well done ACO!

That’s absolutely crazy, especially when they're trying to promote 'green' practices and to become carbon neutral.

If that’s the case fair enough, and understandable if you don’t want to say too much publicly, I’m just looking for reassurance that Tertre Rouge will be available as a public campsite after unpleasant rumours of its demise, particularly coming from one of the agents.

Simon's pal Kevin, who he travels with, is disabled. TR works for Kevin, so although I'm only speculating, I believe the ACO are affording Simon early access to TR camping tickets to accommodate Kevin's requirements which, if I'm correct, is terrific on the part of the ACO. Simon had an absolute nightmare securing TR tickets last year, so I'm absolutely delighted that he's been properly looked after this year.

Yes the ACO like most organisations is keen to promote assecibility for disabled fans and even offers free tickets for disabled and carers, we always pay because Kevin is proud and says he is disabled not poor, Last year the new disabled facilities at TR, an ideal place for those with mobility usses. were a massive improvement but of the thousand or so people in TR Kevin was the only one with a visible disability, I have communicated with the ACO on numerous occasions with suggestions to help them improve access and they generously allowed me to order tickets in advance, However the rest of my usual group will be have to use all there skill to get premier camping this year, rocking horse XXXX will be in plentiful supply compared to some camping tickets in 2023. Good luck to everyone on the 29th Like me i suspect you will all be putting in considerable effort to get what you want this year. The ACO does sometimes come into a lot of critisisum but they do try hard when they can and i thank them for that.

I think pretty much every major event has an obligation to cater for disabled fans. It's good that Le Mans is no different. The ACO certainly deserve praise there.

Great stuff, just a pity they didn't go the whole way and permit you to purchase a ticket for Helen too, she is family after all.

Anyway, bravo ACO!

Good news on tickets.

Think work has started on former concert area behind GS before Dunlop (pictures on local papers). Plus new ACO building next year (for 2024 I thought) just past Dunlop on outside of track?

Vehicle access by bridge over dual carriageway, is spectator access from Rouge parking (now Panorama) that way too?

Given all the ACO cars parked near main GS and large old toilets and restricting vehicle access at main gate, if ACO club house? moves (or additional one?):

TR campsite could be reduced as if clubhouse, parking, new GSs (obvious place for new capacity) are placed - hopefully with much improved disabled access and still camping options.
