How to use Chaser Tickets and QR Codes When Exiting the Garages

Upon exiting

Only 1 QR code may be used to exit.

  • First feed the gate ticket taken upon entry in to the slot. The amount due will be shown.
  • Next, scan your QR code. The QR Code value will either cover the transaction cost and lift the gate or indicate the balance remaining to be paid with a credit card.
  • Attempting to use an additional validation will result in a “Discount Is Not Accepted” message. Only 1 QR Code may be used to exit.

Please note

Once a QR Code has been processed, it is no longer valid and cannot be reused or backed out of the system.
