I sold one of my season passes to a third party reseller and the pass was not accepted at the parking facilities. How can I correct this issue?
Some third party resellers of parking passes reproduce and alter parking passes in a manner that invalidates the pass. If passes are not scanned as valid at the facility entrances they will not be accepted for entry. SP+ cannot assist in resolving disputes with third party resellers.
How will I receive notifications and communication?
All communications will be sent from no-reply@BearsParking.com to the email address used during registration. Please ensure your email settings allow messages from this address and consider adding it to your contacts to avoid missed updates.
