My son and I have attended together for more than 20 years with me being the ACO member. Next year there's a good chance my 10 year old grandson will be coming with us. I've always bought our tickets (both general admission & grandstand seats) at Members discount rate but can't remember for how many people that applies. Or if it's only 2 if you can but buy extra at the presale but perhaps need to pay full price for any numbers above 2. And has anyone heard when the presale might be?

Not sure about presale date, but iirc under 14’s are free GA entry…but presumably need a seat if using a grandstand.

The list of campsites no longer includes Tertre Rouge, e mailed ACO and they confirmed not available they said Houx would be best for those with mobility issues. Not sure the person i got an answer from understabds mobility issues as Houx is some distance from the track and when busy it would takes 40 mins to get to anywhere close to a viewing point

How many tickets can you buy in the presale and how many are discounted?

That’s not good - lots of gradient tunnels steps etc that way

Seems to be the typical ACO shambles, with them telling me they’re not sure about TR for next year, but not ruling it out , if I hear anything else I’ll let you know.
It’s no Tertre Rouge, no Le Mans for my lot, double header Nurburgring/ Spa 24s instead.

Think it's 2 discounted if you're an ACO member then 2 more at full price.

Just heard from the ACO ticket office that access to the circuit is free for children under 16 accompanied by at least one adult with a ticket - up to a maximum of 4 children per adult.

I will be flying in the states to attend this upcoming year. Planning to get a grand stand ticket and maybe a paddock pass. For those of you who have gone in the past, what are the advantages to getting a paddock pass? I see that I can get a grid walk before the start of the race.

Just had a phone call from the ACO and discussed tertre rouge camping, they would only say that TR was no longer a camping site as the ACO had other uses for it (code for corporate hospitality perhaps) he did say that new disabled faciiities will be in place at Houx and that will now be the designated disabled camp site. Oh well 25 years of camping at TR comes to an end.

It's getting more depressing with every announcement, corporate hospitality at the expense of everything else.

oh that's sad, is that where langoustine premier normally is? i did 1st tickets VIP in that area once and was great, wanting to arrange a group to go back again and unsure where to camp - happy/prefer to pay for the premier experience, but seems hard to work out who sells it, and what it exactly is.

Sometimes change is good.

I’ve had plans altered through non availability and the new arrangements end up being better than the what went before.

Try out a new site or alternative accommodation plans. Why miss out just because usual plan won’t happen. Doing something different and being there is better than watching it on TV.

No, the ACO Tertre Rouge site

In my case change being good means a 2 week trip to the Nurburgring 24, which I’ve not done before, and Spa 24, which I’ve been to lots of times, but not since the date changed. Will do Spa WEC as usual too.
Some will move sites, but I know many 20-30 plus years Le Mans veterans on TR who’ll stop going now

Personally, it’d be odd to miss Le Mans just because I could stay in a certain place.

I don’t camp, but have had to swap location/village/town when things haven’t gone to plan. Just abandoning the race because I’ve swapped accommodation locations makes no sense to me.

If we lose a few people who think the campsite is more important than the race, it's not really a loss at all in my book.
