National Ducati Rally (NDR)
FAQs

How do I collect my ticket?
There’s no “ticket” as such. Just roll up to the sign-in desk and tell us your name so we can tick you off our VIP list. We’ll welcome you with a smile while you grab your NDR goodies, including your NDR tag, tee, and stickers. Then you’re all set to enjoy!

What's the NDR tag for?
The NDR tag and Ducati lanyard you’ll get at sign-in are your all-access pass for the weekend. Wear them with pride, because no tag means no entry to these exclusive highlights: 🍽️ Friday Dinner | 📜 AGM | 😋 Saturday Lunch | 🌟 Saturday Gala Night

Can I change my tee size??
When you signed up, your tee size was locked in, and we’ve only ordered what you chose. If the pies (or the gym) got the better of you, your best bet is to find someone over the weekend with the size you need and see if they’re keen for a swap.

Can I score another NDR tee?
Yup! Our tee designs are pretty cool, eh? You’ll be able to order the same design after the event, it just won’t have the exclusive NDR markings on it.

What’s the dress code for Saturday night?
Smart casual.
For the guys: a collared shirt is the go, bonus points if it’s rocking a DOCNZ logo.
For the gals: as a guide, Ange the Prez will be in a dress and heels.

Photo & filming consent
We’ll be snapping photos and possibly a bit of video over the weekend, as we love sharing the good vibes on our socials and DOCNZ channels. By attending, you’re giving us permission to use images and footage from the event. Don’t worry, we’ll handle everything with care and follow NZ privacy rules. If you’d rather not be in any photos or videos, just let one of the crew know.

Where can I find the event agenda and schedule?
You’ll get the full itinerary at sign-in, plus we’ll email it out the day before NDR. We recommend saving or screenshotting it on your phone. Plans may shift slightly, but we’ll keep you in the loop.

Can I bring a friend and buy their ticket on the day?
Nah, sorry. Everything is locked in ahead of time, including tags, goodies, meals, and seating, so tickets are for registered attendees only. Make sure tickets are sorted before the event. 👉 Good news though: they can still come along to the Show & Shine to check out the gleaming bikes and soak up the epic vibes.

Can I nominate a “Good Bugger” or “Silly Bugger”?
YES! Please do! We love celebrating both the legends and the laughs of the club. Nominations close about a week out from the event though. Awards will be presented during prize-giving at the Saturday night gala.

What happens if something goes wrong during the event?
Like any ride or event, there’s always a bit of risk involved. Remember: don’t be a dick and use your common sense, look out for each other, and don’t be a dick.
When you bought your ticket, you agreed to the Event T&Cs. If you need a refresher, you can check them again here if you need.

What parking arrangements are available?
We’ve got you covered! Parking is safe, tucked away from the road, and CCTV will be keeping an eye out.

What’s the condition of the roads to and from NDR?
Check road conditions and map your journey here.

Are there organised rides to get to NDR?
DOCNZers come from all corners of NZ, so if you’re keen to ride in with others, jump into our private Facebook group! Post your plans or ask around – share where you're riding from and when, you'll be sure to have a crew and plan in no time!

I Can't Come to the Event Now…
Bummer! We get it, life happens. Unfortunately, tickets to our major events are non-refundable, just like concert tickets. As a not-for-profit club, running big events comes with its fair share of risks, so this policy helps us keep everything running smoothly. We’ve got a cap on numbers because we always maxed out the venue, and we need that number to make NDR work. If something pops up and you can't make it, no worries! If you can find someone to take your ticket, we’re happy to transfer it for you.

Will the event still happen if it rains?
Absolutely! Rain, hail, or shine – it’s all about the Ducati connections, the magic of catching up with fellow Ducatisti.

The Event Has Been Rescheduled, Now What?
No stress! If the event gets rescheduled, your ticket purchase will still be valid for the new date.

The Event Has Been Cancelled, WHAT NOW?
Yikes! If we have to cancel, you’ll get a partial refund, and any event merch or items you’ve ordered will be sent to you. We’ll keep you in the loop with updates, and once refunds are confirmed, please allow up to five (5) business days for processing.

For those keen to soak up every bit of Ducati goodness before the big weekend, we’ve got you covered with two optional and unofficial pre-NDR catch-ups.

By unofficial, we mean they’re not part of the formal NDR programme. That said, they’re still organised by us… so don’t be a dick. You’re still very much part of the DOCNZ crew.

🍴 Thursday night – Pre-NDR Dinner
Arrive a day early and ease into NDR mode with a relaxed night of good food, good banter, and fab company.
This one’s pay as you go, still sign up though so we can save you a seat. 👉 Check the DOCNZ Event Calendar for details.

🏍️ Friday – Pre-NDR Ride
If you’re in town on Friday morning, join us for a local tiki tour to soak up the scenery, meet fellow rally goers, and warm up nicely before official NDR check-in kicks off on Friday arvo. 👉 Check the DOCNZ Event Calendar for details.
