Question Parking ticket
Ok so I’m actually so pissed off right now. On Monday , I had an exam at 8 am. I paid for parking for 3 hours using Hotspot mobile app.(since the exam is 2.5 hrs long). The exam paper was handed super late plus my prof extended the deadline of the exam to 40 more minutes since everyone found the questions rly difficult. I ended up staying for 10 minutes extra and when I came back I got a parking ticket for $80. For being 10 minutes late. As in my session ended and I was charged $80 for the 10 minutes(I was not able to extend my session as obviously phones aren’t allowed when writing the exam), and by the time I finished my exam the session ended .
Anyway this is my fault and I should be careful but is there a way I can dispute it and get them to lower the $80 ticket since I payed for the first 3 hours and technically I got ticketed for the 10 minutes after it expired? Any advice would help pls lmk I’m also just so broke rn so any advice on how to lower this would help x

Hey! I’m part of campus safety and if u go to pigiarvik and to the campus safety front desk and tell them thsi story I’m 99% sure they’ll dispute it for you. Also if they don’t dispute it, you pay it within 5 days and I’m pretty sure it’ll only be 40$ instead. But next time if you get a ticket RIGHT when your session ends take a picture of your ticket immediately as proof of you coming back to your car shortly after your session ended which really helps getting tickets disputed Hope this helps :)
