Re: freeeticket
The net is full of sites that promise a lot and dont pay. Do not get tricked again.
You can write again to the website with cc Federal Trade Commission if the site is based in U.S. You can sue them if they are in U.S but the process is so expensive that people will simply forget $20. In several places in U.S car parking fee is about $12. Attorney consultation normally will be about $100 per hour.
You can also write again to the website that if they do not send the tickets to you or refund you, you will write about them to www.scambusters.org
$20 is almost Rs.1000/-. You could have easily donated it to an orphnage in our country. Do not go in for free things again from unknown websites which are never free.
