There could also be a lot of local push-back.

The town receiving an influx of virus ridden outsiders and the locals can't even buy a ticket to the race.

Also. Any Tenthers who find themselves without tickets shout out as there may be people with some spares from their group booking... (Not sure if that applies to us as EPS is IC Les Billets)

I reckon a lot of tickets have either gone back or been held over to 2021.
I suspect that's underpinning their thought process. If they know approx 50% of grandstand seats have been returned / deferred then they may well be confident of being able to a bit of spacing there - same going for camping tickets.

Having speculated about what levers the ACO have to pull in terms of restricting attendance this feels like a pretty good solution at the moment (appreciating that I'm speaking from a position of having GE / camping / grandstand sorted).

I'm in the Porsche Curves Camp Site. I do have a ticket for the ACO stand but I may not bother with that. I suspect the site will be less than full so distancing won't be an issue.

Do you know then which campsites won't be used? It would be really useful to post that information here.

It doesn't apply to us, but some do have 'spare' tickets that already have owners who just don't actually know it yet..

Well looks like we are going, hopefully the ACO will let me buy my 2 GE's to go with the TR camping ticket, but need another TR if anyone has a spare they are not using so Helen can get in.

They broadcast the virtual race, so I don't see why they wouldn't broadcast the real deal!

Hopefully this will be mentioned as part of the promised announcement regarding additional measures to be part in place.

We've also booked for a Wednesday crossing so hoping they'll be open by then.

The Tour de France will definitely take up one of their channels during race week.

Have saturday and sunday night shift till 6am monday morning. Will probably ask for sunday night off, so I can attend a Concours d'Elegance in Antwerp on sunday afternoon, ride towards Reims to have my traditional "Champagne in a pool" sunday evening, then monday towards Le Mans. If the campsites are open on monday, I'll head towards the track. If not, I'll camp in Beaumont till they do open.
