- Last evening we went to park for an event at the Lensic. When leaving later, paid parking ticket and started to leave --- totally bottlenecked at exit gates (people also having paid were confused by having to pay again while they were waiting a long period in line)....what happened to just collecting money when a known event is happening and leaving gates open so everyone can file back out? Lots of unhappy and aggressive folks jockeying for a spot to try and get out faster --- safety issues potentially for sure.
