Hate to say it Chris but I'll bet thats the way its going to be. New Duke owners get first dibs or even thrown in as a new bike deal sweetner. I mean this is an official Ducati Event and being booked by dealers only. So its in their intrest. After all its a Ducati publicty event.
I have already got my name down with WM Snells in Hampshire but thats no garentee of a ticket. Fair play to them if they sell 50+ bikes from now and give them all to those customers.
Anyone know when the dealers can confirm prices and places ?
I'm sure we all want to know to make plans, IE if I cant get a ticket its time to call No Limits and get a Cadwell going.

Doesn't Ant know as he's been to the el president meetings? Be a shame if it is, but let's be honest why would ducati care much about the likes of us?

As far as I have been told by Ducati UK, the tickets are allocated to dealers and it is up to the dealer to sell their tickets.
I know there will be a push to sell the two-day tickets first before selling the single day (ie, what's left over).
There are no prices yet, and I don't think (but I may be wrong) that anyone has an allocation yet either, so it is down to the dealer to run reserve lists if they so wish.
If your dealer is reserving them for new bike buying customers ... phone a different dealer?

You're right that there is no discount / pre-order / preference to clubs, but that's across the board and not just for us. The price is non-negotiable for the dealer as well, so there isn't room for them to give anyone a discount! Even if we got an allocation of tickets we would not be able to sell them cheaper than a dealer, and we wouldn't make any money off them either ... so really there's nothing in it for us except to attend and promote the club!

Absolutely not the case Craig, you're on the list and as soon as we have confirmation of prices we'll let you know. To my knowledge there is NO link to bike purchases

I have a bike thats 10 years old and I have only just bought it. I have dealt with Ducati Coventry for a while as I bought 748 shocks from them for my racing car.

They sent me a mail asking if I would like tickets I said how many can I have.

The reality is wether you all like it or not, those people who are fortunate enough to have newer bikes tend to have them serviced at main dealers like Ducati Coventry and therefore are more likely to be offered the tickets. I have not even had my bike serviced yet as it is second hand and was bought already serviced and if I had not been asked through Ducati Coventry I would not have the opportunty to go. I thought that I would extend my good fortune to others but if you dont want the tickets then thats just fine as well.

Regards
C
