With over 12 years experience, 1st Tickets is a established and well respected specialist tour operator that focuses on Endurance and Classic Car racing. We are one of three, UK based, official agents for the Le Mans 24 Hours and the Le Mans Classic. We offer a range of self drive packages staying at our private campsites and the public sites around the circuit at competitive prices.
From our humble beginnings back in 2006 we have grown considerably. Each year we help over 2500 people with their ticket and travel arrangements for events at Le Mans, France and Spa Francorchamps, Belgium. We work with a number of car clubs and motoring communities, including the Aston Martin Owners Club and PistonHeads.
Being a small team, we are able give all our customers (old and new) a personalised service. All our team have attended and worked at our events, meaning they have first hand experience that helps them to advise you of the most suitable accommodation and package for your group.
We organise and manage a large private campsite with excellent facilities and enviable location at the Le Mans 24 Hours and the Le Mans Classic. At the Spa Classic we host a hospitality lounge above the Endurance pits where our customers can relax and enjoy the cars speeding down to Eau Rouge.
Our self drive packages include camping at the event (or hotel accommodation at Spa), general admission tickets and your preferred channel crossing. We have operator agreements in place that enable us to offer channel crossings from all the major short and long sea crossing ports.
