A man says he was was left stuck in a Nottingham car park after his valid ticket wouldn't scan and let him leave. Mark Jackson, 49, from Louth in Lincolnshire, had travelled to the city centre to attend a gig at Rock City with his friend on Tuesday, March 29.
They arrived at around 6.30pm and had paid £7 in advance to park in the Talbot Street car park for the entirety of the evening, returning at around 11pm after it had ended. However, after joining the long queue of cars waiting to leave the car park, they reached the machine to discover their ticket wouldn't scan properly. The car park is owned by Q Park and is not linked to Rock City.
Mr Jackson said: "We were expecting that, because we paid in advance, it would mean we wouldn't have to queue with everyone else - so that was a bit annoying. When I got to the front of the queue it said 'this does not work for this location'. I checked it and it was for the correct location - Talbot Street car park, right day, right time.
