I doubt they give out tickets 24/7 .They rarely patrol the lots after 7pm. [If you have night classes, it might help  ]
Depends on what you are coming from, you could park on 41st Ave @ SW marine Drive. That's what I had been doing [not anymore lol]
Tips for the OP: There's something you could do at any ICBC insurance brokers that costs $18.  |
Parking lots in UBC are enforced by UBC Parking and Access Control Services. Although they claim to enforce parking 24/7, they are basically non-existent between 8pm to 8am (except for midterm and final periods where they will patrol until 10pm-11pm).
If you want to park in campus for free, you can park by SW Marine on the curbside (but they are usually taken after 8:30am). If you go to class in the afternoon, try one of the B Lots and buy a ticket off someone else when they leave.
As for the $18 license plate, it only works if the person doesn't have the flexpass registered. If the car is registered in the flexpass database, the infraction will stay with the person who registers it. Even if the infraction is done before you register to the database, you will be pegged for it when you register your student number and license plate. It will trace back to any unpaid infraction and tag it to your account.

Parking Access Office by Health Parkade closes at 4:30, but that only means you can get your car back until 4:30pm. If they tow it at 5pm, you can get your car the next day (after you paid your fine). UBC uses Busters to tow your car to their impound. They operate 24/7 so don't try your luck.
