We do have a club stand - A8 S8 UK, which you can select when booking. Only 2 more days to buy advanced tickets if you do want to be on the club stand though. After the 8th its pay on the gate and park with the plebs

Maybe a controversial opinion but my view of the organiser of this is very poor. Someone in Scotland organised a handful of cars in a field near Aberdeen a few years ago and called it Audis In The Park - Scotland. The organiser of AITP threatened legal action against the Scottish organiser. IMHO he was simply being a pretentious arse. For that reason I can never attend or endorse this event. The guy was an absolute clown the way he behaved. This is simply my own opinion in case there are any ambitous legal eagles observing

That would be interesting considering AITP isn't trademarked. Hmm, maybe I should trademark it and then sue AITP. It's sounds as bad as the recent Amazon threat to the fishmonger for using the term 'prime day', a term fishmongers have been using (prime day catch) for hundreds of years.

Anyway, back on topic.
