If this is the one run by Magnet Security don't pay it - 1 It is a private company that should not have the authority to obtain your details & 2 This has happened on a number of occasions before - tickets are issued by a different company |

It's outrageous to be honest, a guy in the car park even rang them and was told it was fine to park there still and they wouldn't send out a parking officer, I left a note in the dash explaining that the machine wouldn't work, What time etc and I was willing to pay the £4 like I normally do, the jobsworth put the ticket over my note. Merry Christmas to you too.

We had this on 11th November, I set a page up on the Facebook page, a lot of us were issued with tickets after the machine said out of use . We called the number and no one answered but we left a voicemail then came back to tickets on the cars, it happens regularly even tho they say the machines are emptied twice daily it’s a load of rubbish, it wouldn’t surprise me if it’s done on purpose to make some money as some people are bound to pay. I have done a lot of research on CPS Midlands, DO NOT even respond to their ticket as you are just giving them your details and confirming you were there. Just ignore everything and tell them you’ll see them In court. They have to apply to DVLA for you details which costs them so do not give them your name. Look up our posts on FB a group of us are keeping in touch and we’ll see them in court.
Join the Motorpoint car park it’s well lit there is security on there plenty of room and no potholes. and it’s £4 only 3 or 4 mins walk from the arena.

Just a heads up for the new Arena car park.
These machines look like there not working as well but you need to press the green ticket button which takes the machine out of sleep mode and turns on the lcd screen then you can use it normally.
This one is council so they will have teeth to prosecute so best to be aware.

You should be okay on there tho' as there's usually security walking round if your not sure. the price for 4hrs is £4 but if you have time book online through the arena. |

I did book online but parking is only paid for after 1700 got there at 1600 so had to pay £2.50 (minimum charge)!
