Monster Truck Parking Cash Grab Ticket

[TomBits]

I hate parking in Kelowna as a rule anytime , but at the Monster truck over past weekend paid $10 to park and because the ticket was upside down got an addition ticket for $35 anyone else have complaint about this cash grab

Yeah .. We did the same thing at a Rockets game one night..

We took the ticket down to Impark with our parking "pass" , explained our ignorance and got a lecture..

They waived the fine....

try it ... it works if you use some "honey" instead of vinegar

I once caught a parking guy almost writing me a ticket near the mission liquor store, he was driving his personal vehicle so before he could write the ticket I told him I had his license plate number and can find out where he lives. He left quickly, no ticket to this day. It wasn't really a threat, just figured I'd have fun with him while he wrote the ticket but he didn't. Whenever driving downtown and see bylaw and impark giving tickets I always comment on the work they do LOL...impark workers only make $10-$11 an hour.

It's a chance people want to take thinking no one is working Saturday to hand out tickets. No one is forcing people to park in paid areas - they can walk a short distance.

Contact Impark and advise them you made a error. I did so and they dropped the penalty. Give it a try.
Good luck!

you would think the date would be stamped on both sides so you couldn't put it upside down on your dash but I suppose that would make to much sense.

Face Up is a pretty simple instruction to follow.

I did not get a parking ticket this weekend because I live downtown and walked to the monster trucks :)

Is it still a cash grab if you deserve it?

Maybe a $35 ticket isn't such a bad deal for a parking spot close to the event. Now if they towed your vehicle and you had to pay an impound fee, that might not be worthwhile.

$5 to park in the Library parkade. $10 if you don't want to walk one block.

CoK wants this cash grab so it will continue, until events start to see big drop in attendance. 2Hrs street parking for an event lasting 3+ hours….. $35 dollars fine and city runs all the way to bank. Every time I watch a Rockets game as I'm walking home I see vehicle after vehicle with little white piece paper under wiper blade.

Yep the city has hell of a racket here.

I live within nice walk to Prospera

I don't see the cash grab when there's a parkade available and free parking after 5.

Got to pay those fat salaries

I'd certainly fight the ticket but $10.00 doesn't seem to be outrageous to watch an event.
