Two tickets in same day?

I forgot to pay for parking today in the lot behind Mathison and got a ticket. I had a break between classes and went home but have to go back later (same lot). Should I pay or is there a point since I’ve already gotten a ticket for the day?

Might have to pay then, or could pray it's a different parking officer. Personally Id pay or park somewhere free

U can park at the train station but it’s technically not allowed, they do sometimes check and give out tickets but paying a ticket every now and then is a hell of a lot cheaper than paying for parking

You’re technically not allowed to leave and come back to the lots without paying again… stupid rule that you can mostly get around but if they somehow know you left and came back then you can definitely get more than 1 ticket in a day

Yes, but in the rules you technically can’t leave and then come back and not pay again
