Ticket Update Part 2

Who's ready to buy general access and grandstand tickets?

Since this morning's ticketing post, for the past 12 hours my father has been diligently monitoring the ticket sales for seats in the grandstands for LeMans 2014.  Sales appear to be moving along briskly for seats higher up in the grandstands, under the shelter of the overhead canopies.  The canopies will be good protection from the sun but more importantly, the rain that is very likely to occur sometime during the race.

My father also joined ACO this morning.  Joining from the US can't be done online, so it requires calling France during regular business hours.  They were very friendly and the process took only about 15 minutes.  The number to dial from the US is 011 333 243 40 25 40.  Joining gives immediate access to the online ticket sales.

With the sales pace and membership in hand, we're ready to buy now, maybe even tomorrow (Friday, Nov8).  Of those 6 tickets, 4 or 5 are already spoken for.  So another person will need to join ACO and buy another batch of 6.  If it's coordinated, it can all be done with adjacency in the stands.  Please think about it and make a decision quickly.  Feel free to contact me directly.  We are considering seats in the Bernato (T14), Singher (T13) or Benoist (T12) which are in the EUR75-100 range at ACO pricing.  In addition to the grandstand seats, a general admission pass is also required to the venue, which is approximately EUR55 for ACO members and EUR75 at the general public price.

Purchase by the general public begins November 18.
