So, the other day, I had to deal with these damn Angels parking tickets. Let me tell you, it was a whole thing. I figured I’d share my experience, might help someone out there avoid the headache I went through.
First off, I drove over to the stadium, thinking it would be a breeze. I mean, how hard could it be to find parking, right? Wrong! I ended up circling the area like a vulture. There were signs everywhere, but honestly, they were as clear as mud.
- General parking?
- Preferred?
- Oversized?
What does it all even mean? I just wanted to park my car and watch the game!
Anyway, I finally spotted a lot that looked okay and pulled in. No attendant in sight, just a machine. I paid what I thought was right, grabbed the ticket, and headed to the game. Thought I was all good.
Game was awesome, by the way. But that high didn’t last long. I came back to my car and boom – a bright orange envelope was waiting for me under the wiper. Yep, a freaking parking ticket.
Apparently, I had parked in the wrong zone or something. I don’t know. I was so mad, I almost ripped the thing in half. But then I thought, maybe I could fight it. I mean, the signs were confusing, right?
I spent the next few days trying to figure out how to appeal. Called some number, waited on hold for like an hour, and finally talked to someone who basically said I was out of luck. If you don’t pay it, this will affect your credit scores. Not cool.
Moral of the story
Those Angels parking tickets are a trap. If you don’t know how it works, just follow the instructions, or you’ll end up paying more than you expected. There are also free parking spots, but you gotta get there super early to snag one. Or maybe try that Throwbacks Sports Bar, I heard they have a shuttle. If you go there around 5, you will find free parking on the street in S. Town Center Place.
In short, I learned my lesson the hard way. Hopefully, my little rant here will save someone else the trouble.
So there you have it. That’s how I ended up with an Angels parking ticket and a major headache. Go next time, be careful, people!
