Ticket machines out of service

tribetown

This weekend I drove into a car park and both ticket machines were out of order.
Quite a few of us were there trying to buy a ticket.
One lady did telephone the company to let them know the machines were not working.

I kept going back and forth to the machines and one machine did start to work so I bought a ticket.
I am guessing that it was about 15 minutes after I drove into the car park that I managed to buy a ticket.

I am concerned that I will get a penalty notice, not sure if there is a camera at the car park entrance.
I could not see one.

I did take a picture of the machine with the text saying "Machine 41NGE Out of service with the telephone number and date and time".

I doubt if that will be of much use.

I would be interested to hear you thoughts and experiences.

Just wait and see if you get a PCN. Is your V5 car registration up to date with your current address?   Look at https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/categories/parking-tickets-fines-parking.  for guidance if it is a private company, not a council car park.

So, you were frustrated whilst trying to buy a ticket within the suggested time.

Thanks for the reply and link.
Yes, my V5 is up to date with my current address.
