WTF: Parking ticket at Aberdeen!? Got a ticket there the other day for $70 ($60 if paid within a week)... Got the ticket 11 minutes after 3 hours I got back to the car.. I park there all the time, and I know they already have a 3 hour limit. With the kid, eating and walking around... 3 hours is barely enough. I don't care about the money, but I feel that I should do something about it. What would you do? |
Which company issued the ticket?? Posted via RS Mobile |

If I'm not mistaken I think the parking company is Impark. I once got a ticket for parking there for an hour to pick up stuff from ncix and lunch The ticket said I was there from 11:00-3:15.. I thought they mixed up car so I call in to dispute it.. The guy didnt trust me and would let me go if I just paid $20..:suspicious: ??! I assume the parking attendant are in commission.. put out random tickets? So other than that, maybe you can call in and see if you can get a lower charge cause you did park over the limit. ;c If you want more time, 4th floor is 4 hour limit, but would properly take you 5~10mins to get up to 4th floor from waiting for all the c lai to park on a busy day.. :lawl: |
You can just ignore the ticket. I think it's Impark that handles Aberdeen, right? You will probably get a couple notices in your mail, MAYBE even one from some collections office, but just ignore that too. That will be the end of it. If you want to be safe in Impark lots thereafter, you can just change your license plate for $15. This is from personal experience with a ticket at Aberdeen. |

For a mall that's got crap stores (I must admit they are filling it up better, but about quality, I'm not sure - I don't shop there), and only food places to drive people there, I think their time limit should be a little longer. |
Yea i was gonna say just change your plate, theyre $18. |
i remember seeing them taking pictures of the car after issuing the ticket :lawl::lawl: |
Can we start banning these threads seriously. You clearly stated there is a 3 hour limit, you exceeded it and the money isn't an issue. So what's the issue then? That you got caught and people usually don't so you feel you don't deserve it? Just pay it |

If I had lots of extra time I would, but paying a ticket online is way easier than changing my plates. Kids suck up every minute. =( Thanks for the quick feedback! |
Recycle Please. :) Impark/Diamond etc. are already doing too much damage to the environment by issuing these useless tickets. Don't make it any worse. Put it in the nearest paper recycling bin. Give a hoot, don't pollute. :thumbsup: |

Drop your kids off for a party for 2 hours, you hang out and wait for them. Then your kid wants to go around, wife goes around for another hour looking around. there goes 3 hours. You go to a wedding banquet, 3 hours easily eaten up. Family from out of town want to visit, eat, walk around, 3 hours gone. |

^ this. suck it up and pay the ticket. you knew the time limit was 3 hours, you knew you exceeded it and at the time you didn't care enough to move your car to another spot. actions have consequences, and yours is a ticket |
Really none of my business, but I have three kids. 3 hours is way too long. |
Moving your car before hitting the 3 hour limit works? You're still in the same lot. If that works, moving from a 3 hour spot to a 4th floor 4 hour spot practically gives you a whole day there. |

You gonna tell your boss your late for work everyday because of your kid too? |
3 - 4 hours is standard policy with all shopping malls-- especially those located close to Canada Line or Skytrain stations. |
I have 4 kids all under the age of 5. I go to dim sum, and then shop around the mall and it doesn't take me more then 3 hours. |
You guys criticizing the original poster need to shut the hell up. It doesnt matter how long it takes YOU to shop. The O/P takes more than 3 hours and that is his/her prerogative. She didnt get "caught" doing anything. Malls have these time limits to prevent people from parking for free and going elsewhere..some people will take advantage of free parking and go to work or take the skytrain. The OP was shopping and Im assuming spending money while she was there, this is what the mall wants. OP, if you speak to the mall manager and explain that you were shopping, there may be a chance of having the ticket overturned. If not, well then I guess you are out of luck and you can try just changing parking spots next time before the 3 hours is up. Good luck! |

and 2 more points: no, speaking to mall management will not get the ticket overturned. the mall does not enforce parking, impark does. and the impark guard that patrols there is so serious about his job that i doubt you will be able to get it overturned even if you take your case directly to impark - and by case i mean pleading with them and acknowledging that you made a mistake. i used to work at aberdeen, i went 3 minutes over the 3 hour limit one time and received a ticket. tried to talk to impark to no avail. and why should i have had any leniancy? i went over the limit, so i paid it parking lots are enforced for a reason, and if you don't want to abide by the codes of it, then you accept the consequences of it. i'm not criticizing, i'm saying the blatant, simple truth - one that you seem to fail to understand |
1. contact them and be nice and plead to get it cancelled 2. change license plate Posted via RS Mobile |
