How mush did you pay to get to Le Mans 2003
Discussion
I paid £190 each for a Thursday crossing coming back on Monday (channle tunnel). Entrains and camping (Houx Annex).
With 25-50 of us using the Channel Tunnel and getting the mass booking from ACO costs come down two.....
E50 x2 for entry
E31 camping
£90.81
£126 for Crossing (If we can get the number over 50 the saving are even more!!!!!)
£216.81 /2
£108.41 Each
Paying full price that comes back to £133.
So why am I paying so much?
How do I save the money and still get a good campsite?

I organised for 20 people with 7 cars and the costs were as follows:
£150 each covered a hotel in Dover on Wednesday night, return Sea Cat crossing on Thursday AM, all camping costs (Houx), breakfast and evening BBQ everyday, loads of supermarket beer and spirits for the weekend, hotel on Sunday and about 50% of the cost of a decent slap up meal the same evening - and a giant gazebo and stereo!
I thought that was quite a reasonable deal for all concerned.

Well, assuming 4 people per car, you need:
One Houx ticket direct from ACO £60
One Seacat crossing from Hoverspeed.com £90
Two Travel Inns at Dover £90
Two Villages Hotel in France £45
Total for four people = £285 = £72 each
Obviously, 20 people giving you £150 each leaves a fair bit in the pot to go towards everything else on the list.

Being a mamber of the ACO doesn't give you any preferential treatment on camping allocation. It does get you discounted general admission and camping passes though (6 GA's at 43 Euros and about a 6Euro discount on two camping passes I believe)
We are not ACO members but we get our camping and GA tickets dircet from them. We also book direct with the ferry companies.
11 of us, in three cars. Portsmouth - Caen overnight on the Wednesday, back on the afternoon crossing on the Monday. 3 Pitches at Houx Annexe, GA's for all, 3 Grandstand tickets for Tribune 4 shared between us, all food and all drink all weekend worked out at £250 a head.
