The Orem Owlz are a minor league baseball team that play in the Utah Valley University stadium. This is the university I attend, and which I pay handsomely every year for a parking permit. (Pay attention, that's the important part.)
The Owlz charge $4 to park in the parking lot closest to the stadium. At Saturday's game I was feeling cheap, and decided to park in the next parking lot over, which requires a university parking permit to park in. I felt guilty for not paying to park. On the other hand, by parking in the farther lot, I freed up space for someone else to park closer. Plus, I pay $80 a year to be able to park in that parking lot, regardless of what school services I'm employing. But this is $4 less that the Owlz receive - if everyone did this, they'd have to raise ticket prices or something to make up the shortage.

I doubt there are so many people that do this that would cause them to have to raise prices. I would say just use the pass you have.
All I have to say is well done. You support the team by having tickets. You have a right to park where your permit allows. You don't see tax payers who take deductions say, well if everyone deducted this then...
I mean your father fought in Vietnam to give you the freedom to park where your permit allows, enjoy it =)
Kim, that was hilarious. Now I get to feel like I'm doing my patriotic duty when I get free parking!
Park where you want Emily, Kim and I have your back! (rhetorically speaking that is.)
