Pooey! Got a parking ticket!

April 12th, 2010 at 05:18 pm

DD had to play in a soccer tournament yesterday at the local university. DH dropped us off at the gate and went to park. After the game, we went to the car and found a parking citation on the windshield. The place was packed so DH had parked on the curb along with several other cars thinking that it was legal but guess not... $30 fee!!! That's outrageous! Since it was issued by the University police system, is it a "real" ticket? We'll pay it and consider it a donation to the school, but curiosity had me going. If someone doesn't pay a parking ticket from a campus system, is that ticket on their background checks, etc.? Anyone know?

    I dont know if the university turns the tickets over to collections after a certain amount of time. I would pay it.

    Update... called the university parking people to see how to pay this thing as instructed on the back of the ticket. Since this was our first offense and we are visitors to the campus, not students or faculty, they'll do a courtesy waive of the ticket! This is super and saves us $30!
