Default I'm going to Cirque to Soleil and I don't want to pay for parking

Anyone know of a good place to park near Currie Barracks that is a reasonable distance from where the event is going to be? How long a walk would it be from Centennial Arenas?

Apparently they are charging $10 to park, which I don't really want to pay after dropping $85 a ticket.

With the kind of car he has, that would actually work. (I have the same car).

LOL. I'm not joking... Do it!

One time I went to a Stamps game and parked on the grass out back by the practice field. A bunch of other cars were parked there and they all had tickets on the windshields. I took a ticket off one of the other cars and put it under my windshield and went to the game. After the game I put it back on the other car. HAHA!

I used the same warning ticket for almost an entire year at U of C before they caught me and gave me a real ticket (For $30 I think) I argued it down and then used that ticket for the rest of the year!

Grazie. The beauty of it is that I didn't even screw the other car. The parking patrol guy can only see the closest vehicle to the curb. So by grabbing a further back ticket, and putting it on my freshly parked (and closest to the curb) vehicle, the ticket guy figured that he already ticketed everyone there.

When are you going? I'm just on the other side of Crowchild and can probably drop you off.
