Longchamp - ticket question

[an capall]

In a moment of historic misjudgement I invited Bean Ui Capall to come to the Arc weekend with me this year. I know, I know.

Anyway - I normally just pay the €8 Euro in and then try sneak into the VIP area for free, but she is less adept than I at scaling walls and will want to sit down somewhere.

Now - the Longchamp ticket site is less than useless. They advertise

PELOUSE DE L'ARC
ENTER SUNDAY OF ARC
GRADINS OF ARC
TRIBUNE ASSISE LIBRE

but provide no meaningful information on what you get in each enclosure.

Has anybody been to the Gradins or the Tibune stands before and if so what are they like?

Thanks

AC

This link gives you some idea. The 'gradins' are the temporary stands on the infield. 'Tribune assise libre' gives access to a part of the stand with free seating, a la Ryanair and Tribune Reservee gives you an assigned seat in the stand.

Just pay on the gate and get there early, you'll have the pick of the lower stand unreserved seats/steps and take a couple of cushions or something and you'll be set for the afternoon.

Use any of your HRI/Press contacts to get top tier seat tickets. At 75 Euro a pop they are the business.
I am afraid that lower level unreserved seats are block kept by British coach tour types that Mrs Capall may find hard to bear; I know I do.

I know what you mean Eddie. Lord H and his buddies are chanting there all afternoon.
