anyone got a ticket at crystal mall? i park there for 10 years never knew they hand out tickets?


I parked on p1 level near entrance door, not a handicap stall nor reserved. 15 minutes later i come back i get a weird ticket on my dashboard.

A white cover letter envelope for me to mail it in with impark address, and a blue weird ticket. It does not tell me the amount i have to pay, nor has my vehicle information. All it says on the top is Explanation of amount, yada yada yada telling me how to pay, either by visa or debit etc.


Should i be concerned?

anyone else got a ticket parking at crystal mall (not at handi or reserved) in the past? i called IMPARK, they said under my plate it doesnt show anything, but it might be because it was only an hour ago. Gonna call them back tmr


:confused::confused:

Speaking of Crystal mall, I hate how people leave level two in the opposite direction. When the arrow points right, you don't go left you go RIGHT! You're causing a bunch of traffic. People from level one going down to level two will be stuck right there.....GOOD JOB!!!!

crazy, could be a scam, i didnt think you had to pay for parking there. Also, it is the worse designed parking in THE WORLD. even worse then aberdeen center.

ya i see many times people going opposite direction, i was like wtf


u should see wat i saw today, a mid age asian woman in her corolla. trying to back into a spot, took her AT LEAST 13 tries, forward an inch, back an inch. SHe had no idea WTF she was doing nor how to back into the spot. The angles she was tryin was all wrong, and completetly off. She end up in front of a car that was parked beside the spot she was suppose to park in. i was like WTF!, at this moment i flipped, continue to rev my engine, as soon as i see enough opening i ripped it. Fucking people dont know how to drive nor park. its ridiculous how she passed the road test, didnt even have an N or L. Shakes head..sigh



so i guess its a fake ticket than, weird

Are you sure? Looks more like Chinese to me. The design is to maximize space leaving little room as possible, much like Hong Kong undergrounds.

its impossible to have 2 cars in the turns going down the levels

i had once went inti the parking lot and the turns are impossible when there is another car there

Crystal mall's parking is enforced by Impark.

..And you know what to do with Impark tickets.

hmm, strange, ive parked there over 2hrs and never had a problem before.

did you suck at parking =P like i dont want to stereotype, being asian myself, but hey, stereotypes happen.

and the parking lot has to be planned and designed by an asian, none of the lines are parrallel! its like the designer purposely did that knowing asian ppl park there, and so might as well not keep the lines straight, maybe that will correct for the bad parking!


speaking of bad parking, i was at t&t, and this guy parked his mini van next to my car, like really bad parking, i just kept starring at him, he finally looked over and saw my "is shoei gonna have to get out and have a talk with you about ur bad parking job?" he then kinda acknowledged his bad parking, put the minivan into reverse and gave it another go.

sigh, fucking older asian ppl, FIGHT THE STEREOTYPE!

Crystal Mall is gay.
Especially the c-lai's there.

And who ever designed the parking lot was probably fucking chewing on weed when he drew the design.

^ QFT. The circular design might've looked good on paper but it wastes assloads of space.

The only worse-designed parking lots I can think of are all in China. My dad's apartment complex in GZ has 6 towers (24 stories each) and a whopping 34 spots.

Well for those that are curious, I believe the company that actually built the mall/parking is stuart olson construction, a company based out of Calgary

You most likely parked in a reserved spot. Same thing happened to me, you can barely see the reserved sign and I got ticketed. I was soo pissed.

but you know what's stupid... the sign actually says two way traffic where level 3 turns up to lvl 2 and to lvl 1.. so people coming out from lvl 3 can turn left onto that small section and turn left again to go up to lvl 1...

what a fucked up design...

ive seen some asian lady taking picture, and handing out tickets before... but i've only seen her once... so im not even sure if you need to pay since they will never get a tow truck in there

Had a couple of close calls in the Crystal Mall parking lot and the cause of it as mentioned above these drivers disregarding signs and going wrong way. Nowadays I just avoid their parking lot and just park on the Save On parking lot and just walk across the street to Crystal Mall

OP: I think they have either 2-3 hr free for shopping @ Crystal Mall and as for ticketing haven't seen anything so far @ Crystal Mall

yea u can just look at the walls of that place. theres more than scratches, theres chunks missing. same with RPM.

umm... did u just end up walking away?No I met her outside work. Let's just say that we definitely don't talk, and by that I mean I cut her off. :rolleyes: In any case, it really raised the bar for me on how incredibly stupid some people can be.

You don't want to know the other dumb things she also said during that conversation. Your heads would explode. Mine almost did.
