[LM24] Le Mans 2021 21/22 August - Who Is Going?

[Kpy]

Ticketing site has crashed again.
I'm so glad I took a refund on my booking last August and have no intention of going back as a spectator until things return to something like normality.
I'll renew my membership in August in order to benefit from the members' prices for the Classic in 2022. Same applies to 24 Hours 2022.
Good luck to anyone still struggling for tickets for this year's race.

I had an email from the ACO offering me a "Confort (sic) Pack" comprising GA plus a seat in T17 or T18 for €173.
I haven't been able to access the ticketing site to see if that offer exists.

With the site still down there's no way of knowing if that's actually available to members.

Just logged in and the member's package at 173 euros is all available to book (placed in basket and got as far as checkout) and Houx Annexe is also available at member's rate (actually shows in French as 'Holly Appendix').

Ah, as I suspected, the race is being postponed until Christmas.......

That's very interesting James, as I can't get into the ticketing site when logged in either in French or in English.
What's the address you're logged into? I'm directed to
https://ticket.lemans.org/fr/24h-lemans/prehome
This results in:
"Oops - Une erreur est survenue. Nos équipes ont été prévenues et vont travailler ?* la corriger le plus rapidement possible. Avec nos excuses pour la gêne occasionnée. Repassez aux stands un peu plus tard.
RETOUR À L'ACCUEIL

That return to homepage button doesn't work either

[24hrmans]

Replace "prehome" by "other/22" .

Must indeed be French Logic:
I can now book T17 easily, which I couldn't in the morning
Camping Blue Nord is gone and now Houx Annexe is available.


I guess there is no way to change tickets From T16 to T17?

Thanks, but https://ticket.lemans.org/fr/24h-lemans/other/22 gets me "404 - Fichier ou répertoire introuvable."
You can probable change your T16 tickets to T17 or 18 by phoning the ACO, they seem to be fairly sympathetic at the moment.

Just tested: /fr does not work for me either. /en however does

I'm away from my laptop now, but I have found for maybe the last three years that the most reliable way to get on the ticketing site is to log into my ACO membership on lemans.org then click on the ticket icon towards top right of the page. Can check exact link address for you later, Christopher.

Yes, the ladies in the ticket office were told at a meeting last Monday that Arnage and Mulsanne enclosures would both be open. No separate parking tickets this year, your Blanc or Rouge parking ticket gets you in and parking will be inside the enclosures this year, not in the car parks outside the enclosures.

So this news prompted me to take a punt and buy a general admission ticket and parking. I also found a nice B&B for 4 nights 40mins drive away for £50/night and BA are basically giving away flights. Might just work out after all...

Good news.

They said no, but we’re looking at it. I suppose they’ve looked at it.

Bring it on. They could run it on Christmas Day.

Or more sensibly in the dead period between Christmas and New Year. That would be great.

[S griffin]

I think Le Mans is already Christmas to the Sportscar fans

[vincegail]

Christmas, New Year and Birthday combined

@Christopher...

In the end, I don't think I'm landing on any pages that others aren't, but my route to ticketing is:

https://www.lemans.org/en
https://www.lemans.org/en/ticketing
https://ticket.lemans.org/en/24h-lemans/prehome

Fingers crossed this plays out as I was advised...and I'm not offering refunds () if, in the end, the ACO change their minds regarding spectator access to these enclosures. And let's face it, either (or both) our government or the French government may decree that 'non', you may not travel, or enter the circuit. Purchasing tickets is a gamble for all of us, unless we live in France.
