News Wilson Parking Adelaide Oval Car Park Price Gouging

[Rexie J]

I'm outraged.

......but not mortified

Not sure if it’s changed drastically over the last 20 years but the best thing about Adelaide was how everything is so close.
You could get just about anywhere pretty quickly on public transport.
Different in Perth, no car your screwed.

An Uber doesn't even cost that much unless you are a fair way away. I caught ubers to most games i attended and it was only the finals that i noticed the price gouging there.

I need to drink beers to get through a Port game too.

Buy a house close to AO

This sounds expensive, i've found the most effective strategy is to have Cheesey Mac buy a house close to AO with enough parking for the entire footy group.

Public transport is for wagie cucks, the elderly and the degenerate.

I said what I said.

In direct lines in and out of the city you can get anywhere, but any other deviation and your looking at complex and long routes. You can't not have a car and live in Adelaide.

And all the good stuff like wineries, hills, river etc. needs driving.

 

[Dazalinko1988]

Yea that's f*#ked I blame Ken for this

Yeah we used to drive North and South for wineries. Still used to take the bus to Schutzenfest, that was such a good feed and piss up when it was in Hahndorf.

Does anyone know the updated price at AO for 1 chopped potato grease fried in a recycled paper cup with extra salt?

Wilson parking price gouging. Tautology in practice.

Last Friday before Xmas I went in to town to get a last present which was $25.

Read the sign wrong (thought it was 9-6 but it was 10-6)… so it was quiet, parked a good 10min south of Gawler place and walked in - hardly a soul about, just people getting ready for their Xmas shows.

25min in and out, a nice $114 parking ticket for me when I got back. I mean they just employ Mike Smithson to hide in bins and hand out tickets.

This city…

Remember getting a lot of tickets in my uni days, mid 90s, they were like $11.

 

[SonOfKek]

My favourite is when these companies and corporations offer us a cut price deal by adding huge markup then taking 20% off of the already inflated price.

 

[Greasyrhys]

Glad I take the train.

I read the previous financial year it was over 10 Million they raked in..... it's basically an income on the spreadsheet. I hate going near the city because of it. Do they wonder why people head to Marion and the likes?

I was lucky enough to go to Underdale... no fines.

I know this is completely off topic, but don't you just want to punch people in the nose that say "Well if you don't do the wrong thing, you won't get fined". It's like various levels of government need and want people to do the wrong thing. It is a massive income stream for them. If people didn't drink, smoke, speed slightly, cross an intersection as a light turns red, Overstay their alotted parking time etc these government beauracracies would be billions out of pocket. **** Them. Hypocritical campaigners.

Most of us already pay probably close to half our incomes each year in direct and indirect taxes, I'm not sure why you'd volunteer via reckless stupidity to pay even more.

tl;dr - Well if you don't do the wrong thing, you won't get fined.

I live at Richmond and it is cheaper to get an Uber to and from the game than the cost of parking. It is just the "surge pricing" after the game that you need to avoid. If I get an Uber directly next to Adelaide Oval sometimes they bump it up to $50. If i walk to North tce, further along Morphett st or Hindley St it is back down to about $14.

A good option if you want to drive is to park at the Convention Centre car park if you get there early enough. If you spend $50 on food & drink at Home Ground (even if it is between a number of you) the parking is free.

Park at Paradise Interchange which is free. Catch bus in, which is "free". Don't have to spend $50 on food to get parking fee waved.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Maybe they could pay to sack hinkley as an investment to bring more parking revenue
