TICKETLESS PARKING

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is The Glen introducing a new ticketless parking system?

As part of our $460 million transformation, here at The Glen we have introduced a new modern parking system to offer our customers convenient parking, seven days a week.
Our customers have told us that they want quick, easy and convenient parking and to ensure we have availability for our guests during peak times our new advanced parking system includes parking guidance technology to make it easy to find a park and ticketless licence plate recognition for drive in, drive out convenience.

How does The Glen's new ticketless parking system work?

The new parking system is based on licence plate recognition. On entry there is no boom gate or tickets issued, so you can drive in straight in with a digital clock displaying your parking entry time.

Parking guidance technology indicators show you where to park. Real-time electronic display boards will guide you to available car spaces.

If your visit is within three hours, you’ll enjoy free parking and you can simply proceed to any exit, the parking system will recognise your licence plate and the boom gate will raise automatically – it’s that easy.

If you stay longer than the three hours, simply pay for your parking at any of the Pay Stations in the centre by entering your licence plate and paying via credit or debit card or cash then drive to any exit where the parking system will recognise your licence plate and the boom gate will open automatically.

Alternatively you can register your details with us and simply drive to any exit and if there are any parking fees, you’ll enjoy quick drive out convenience as we’ll automatically charge your credit card.
