I had 10 tickets before my car was towed, the total bill came up to 4 bills ($30/ tix + towing fees, they didn't charge me 60 for each tix even though its suppose to be an addition 30 bucks or so after like 2 weeks or something).
As for the guy ticketing, ticketing goes on all the way til around 9 pm, i was ticketed once at around 9 20 pm on a weekday.
There are still some tricks to get free parking around ubc:
1) gift credit cards from 7 11 works time to time (NOT EVERYTIME) at the parkades. The one that worked the most often is North parkade. My gift card doesnt have cash and it still works (Last yr gift cards from Richmond center and Oakridge worked, not sure anymore cuz i threw them away during the summer)
2) the apartment parking lot by west parkade is free after around 2 pm, cuz thats when the guy checks, he doesnt check after that
3) village parking lot is free after 1-2pm same reason as above. they ticketing guy only check these parking lots twice
4) L parking lot by west parkade is a safe bet to park for a few hours (i made my self one of those L passes with a fuking black marker and white business card and i didn't get caught for one whole semester)
BTW, you dont have to pay the tickets issued by UBC UNLESS you registered a flexpass under your name. In that case, if you get a ticket, you have to pay or they will not let you graduate since the car is registered under your name as a student. If you do not have a flexpass, then dont have to pay since ubc parking service is independent and they dont bother taking you to court
Hope this helped
