Ducati Official Club - "Factory DOC"
Ducati DOC - Ducati Official Club
This is an official factory run membership system which has been running for over 20 years now, and is a membership system in its own right, it is designed to be used by smaller provincial clubs as their membership system, of course we have our own system, so we don’t use it as such, but being an officially affiliated club it’s there for us to use to our members benefit, and it does have its benefits, which include:
· A DOC membership card which can be viewed via the MyDucati app, this also comes out with the Factory DOC welcome packs (supplied by Ducati) each year - which allows the bearer free access (reduced price during WDW) to the factory museum and tour (there is a nominal €2 fee - Sep 2026) - it can also be downloaded as a pdf from your DOC GB ‘MY MEMBERSHIP’
- Discounts on items in the Bologna factory shops (approx. 15%)
- A ‘Welcome pack’ which is provided once a year (Red card, ‘gadgets’, patches, and badges etc?)
- Reduced price (approx. 50%) World Ducati Week tickets
- Reduced price Ducati Riding Experience
- Reduced price entry to some trade shows etc
- This is a free of charge add-on to your DOC GB membership
- Available to primary members and joint members too, as individuals
So, as you can see it is worth doing, especially as it’s all free of charge, BUT, this is only available to our fully paid up members, and so not available to forum or Facebook only followers.
Another benefit for us as a club is the increased presence it gives us in the eyes of the factory, as because we do not share our membership information with 3rd parties we have no way of proving the numbers of paying members we have. Therefore, as more members register our actual level of membership will become apparent to the factory.
This system runs for 1 year, from January to December, which means that we have to re-affiliate and re-enrol all of our existing current members on the system, which we do for you in December/January, so if you are already on the system (and you are all paid up), you will be automatically re-enrolled, there is no need to re-register.
If you are unsure, please log on to MY DUCATI on www.ducati.com or check the MyDucati App to see your status.
Now, as this system requires the sharing of personal info with a 3rd party (ie Ducati Motor Holding S.p.A) and the setting up of password access, this is something that members must instigate for themselves (as we do not share our members info with 3rd parties)
We can’t simply add members.
By the way, this system does allow people to be members of multiple clubs, so if you’re already a member of one of the other clubs it no problem, just log in and ask to join us too.
