Or don't pay the ticket and see if they try and collect later, say you forgot and deal with it then.

They have no way to collect except for small claims court.. And good luck with that.

Companies like Impark, ParkLink and others make money by charging drivers to park on private property, often slapping large invoices on the windshields of any car they deem to have broken their rules.
Those invoices look and feel much like the legal tickets that parking enforcement officers leave on cars parked on city streets — with one subtle but important difference: they're not tickets.
"It's not a parking ticket," Toronto lawyer John Weingust says.
"They're issuing tickets that look like the same as the [real ones]," he says. "People think it's from the city ... and they get frightened of it and they pay it."
But if you get one, "you can throw it in the garbage," he confidently declares.

If you really want to feel better just mail them the amount it costs to park while you would be there.
