I noticed on the linked site that it says: "Passengers will need a valid ticket, and can be purchased here." Is there some sort of secret handshake we have to know to get a pillion in for free ?

Cheers

So... I mailed the festival.italia address, and got the following reply:
Good morning Simon



The Ducati Sporting Club display area has been sorted by the club themselves so in order to display with them you will need to contact the club directly who would then send your ticket, parking pass and passenger ticket out.



Many thanks

Sasha

What do I do now?

Regards

Hi Simon/Antonye,

This contrasts with my response also from Sasha(I received my ticket/pass yesterday)


Good afternoon Lloyd



Thank you for your email and interest in Festival Italia. I can confirm you are registered to display your vehicle at the event.



Your ticket and parking pass will be sent out on Monday so you should receive these early next week. Please note that the ticket covers the rider's entry only so any passengers will need to purchase a general admission ticket.



These can be purchased from www.festivalitalia.com or over the phone on 0843 453 9000.



Many thanks

Sasha


Regards,

Lloyd

....*sigh*

We've not been dealing with Sasha, so he probably assumed that we would be getting tickets (we've not got anything!) rather than what we were asked to do which was to get everyone to register themselves!

I'll speak to our contact today and make sure that anyone who hasn't got tickets will still be able to get in, and will respond shortly.

The latest from festival.italia:

Hi Simon

I have spoken to my colleague James who has tried to get hold of the Ducati sporting club but has not had any luck so far. However we are definitely not sending tickets to members directly and as previously mentioned it is the club that is organising this. I have looked on the website and as per the below you will need to contact the club for tickets.

The Ducati Sporting Club UK has been invited to attend and display our member's bikes. If you would like to attend and display your bike, you will be given free entry for yourself and a pillion, saving you a massive £38 on the gate cost for tickets.

We will have a dedicated area for bike parking which will be manned at all times, along with space to store your bike kit.

If you wish to join us, please send me a PM with your details - name and bike - and we'll add you onto the list!

I hope that helps.

Many thanks
Sasha

er... well it doesn't help at all !

Confusion reins. I dread to think where I'm going to be directed to when I arrive. :-(
