First when I got in I was redirected to the Billeterie of the regular 24 Hours. When I later got in the Billeterie for the Classic, I got Paddock + GS T17, and Prairie campsite. Managed to bag Epinettes later on on the resale site. Will sell my Prairie later on.

Just looking now, and it looks like under 16s are free. My lad will still be 15 (just) by the time of the event, so wanted to confirm I'm reading the information correctly.

Anyone able to confirm under 16s go free if accompanied by a paying adult?

TIA

Only entry Ticket and i think paddock is free. For grandstand he needs a ticket obviously.

Cool, it's entry and paddock we're looking at.

[quarryman111]

Yep…MB and Bleu camping RIP! Only Beausejour as a big site now as the newer Prarie and Epinettes are relatively smaller. BSJ access not too bad tho’.
Camping pitch at €110 is €10 cheaper than last yr but there’s a huge hike in GA+Paddock prices…mainly as they seem to have dropped an ‘early-bird’ discount this yr

[JButler]

It seems the ticket prices have gone up quite considerably this year – €235 vs €178 in 2023 for entry, paddock pass and grandstand seat. Although I've always considered the classic a bit of a bargain really!

[indigochim]

I noticed the price increase and the campsites being sold out. I think Epinettes gets sold to resellers as they always seem to have camp tickets.

Is it any cheaper to get a ticket via the car owners route either via a club or as an individual.

Who do people get their "packages" from other than the ACO?

I've never done the classic before and I did contact Motorsport Travel Destinations but they have basically ignored everything I said or asked and sent a generic price list that doesn't explain a thing.

[indigochim]

I see no benefits to buy through an agent aside from when tickets/sites are unavailable as they've bought them all up. It's nit hard to book through the AOC and then ferry or tunnel of your choice.

Kev, I spoke to just tickets and motoring ( if I’m allowed to say that on here) on Tuesday and they were very professional, I was enquiring if they had their allocations as I/we’d come up against the ACO advising only 2 camping and 4 ga’s per person which complicated things for our group, we did manage to get 4 pitches and 8 ga’s yesterday with coordinated approach , still not perfect but pretty good considering , I wanted a contingency plan , expecting a huge rush yesterday morning, (just tickets were still waiting for their allocations as of Tuesday)

Amazing stuff thank you for the information.

I would be in a similar predicament as I need 3 camping passes (3 cars) and 3 GA's I think so may call them next week when back from Holland.

Usually I would agree.

However, what is missing from the ACO site is any mention of track laps and parking in the club areas.

No plans for Classic in 2025, but if I were, I would deal with Fasttracktours again.

As well as the entry and paddock passes, they also sorted the above mentioned.

They also do accommodation packages, but i’ve always arranged this myself.

I've used the PH partner 1st Tickets for 10 years now with their private camping at Bleu Nord (next Yr to be located at Beaujour) - they offer packages as well & also public camping options & when I did the Classic for the first time in 2022 we also booked the parade laps through them which was a great experience (even if it was an early start to get in to the right part of the circuit for 07.15!!)

If you have an appropriate car, I can recommend the parade laps, even if you only do it once (it's not cheap but how often would you get to drive the full circuit??!!). We're hoping to do the Classic next year instead of the 24hrs (will have a break from that & watch on the TV at home) & just awaiting confirmation once they know their allocation.

There's a link on the site for club entries and individuals. If you follow that to the Peter auto site. I assumed you do in through there. I've registered my car today waiting for a reply.
