BAD Business Diamond Parking Services

Last month we went to Seattle for our yearly weekend vacation.  We go and see the AMA Supercross, hit a bunch of fun restaurants that we have seen on Man vs Food and Top 10 Best etc.  Well we know where we like to park because it was great parking last year.  Only $10 and there was plenty of room for our crew cab with our camper.  This year we went early and that lot was all taken, so, we parked across the street at 1 pm for $20.  No problem.  Our event started at 7 pm but we got to walk around the pit area for awhile before hand.  When we left approximately at 10 pm we get out to our pick up and find that everyone in the parking lot had gotten a ticket.

A ticket?!?!  Apparently we were suppose to be out of there by 5 pm.  Hmmm, we weren't told that and the $43 parking ticket was a big grey cloud.  We had to pay that $43 within two weeks or the price went up to $73.  We saw a post on the side of the building saying there would be parking tickets and all the rules and details that go along with it.  Now apparently we couldn't get out of it.  So we got home and later that week I wrote a check, but before I mailed it, my husband decided to call the company that sold us the parking to complain.  Lo and behold she asked for the ticket # that we had gotten and told him it was taken care of.  We had ASSUMED that it was a city parking ticket, but no.  You've got it, the parking people lure you in for $20 then give you a ticket for $43.  WOW!  Good thing my adorably smart husband called and complained.

So here is a picture of the company so that you can mark and avoid them whenever you are parking in Seattle around CenturyLink Field or the Marineers Baseball Field.  I still love capitalism though.  Just beware.
