FAQs

1. Are there ID or minimum age requirements to enter the event?

No, as long as you are over 18 if purchasing alcohol at the venues we visit.

2. Is there a timetable?

Sort of. We aim to start at the first two venues at 2pm and finish around 6pm. Between times, it takes us 5-10mins between each venue but times can vary with traffic and people getting on/off. We'll wave a signboard when we get to a venue to do the next pick up.

3. What are my transport/parking options for getting to and from the event?

Park close to one of the venues (preferably the same one you intend to finish up at!) and wait for the bus - it's that simple. Or get your sober friends to drop you off and collect you. PLEASE DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE.

4. Do I have to bring my printed ticket to the event?

Yes please bring your ticket along or we won't know about you.

5. Is it ok if the name on my ticket or registration doesn't match the person who attends?

As long as the person travelling has valid ticket, we don't mind who uses it.

6. What if the bus is full or if I miss one?

Wait for the next one or grab a ride share to the next venue. We suggest you travel in small groups of 2-3 as the buses are frequently full and large groups make it tricky to fit you all in.

We won't allow overcrowding on the buses as our licence is at stake. Thank you for your co-operation.

7. Do you carry drunk people?

No. No ifs or buts. If you throw up in the bus there's a cleaning charge of $300.

8. Why aren't you going to the pub I want to get to?

We have a varying selection of pubs each month. We suggest you make your own way to your favourites on another day. If your mates are at another pub, either wait for them, or grab a ride share to meet them.

9. How can I contact the organiser with any questions?

Send us a message off the Hop Bus FB page, text us on 0220 911 776 or ask at one of the venues.

10. COVID-19 requirements

Please register your visit with us in writing (on the bus) or electronically (by scanning the Ministry of Health COVID-19 QR code also on the bus) just so you know where you’ve been and who with. All your details are kept private and will not be used for any other purposes.

That's all folks!!!
