Genuinely unsure as I'm fairly new to being on the road and have never had a ticket before!
I was going to a seminar in the evening in a town about 12 miles from where I live. On the way I got a flat tyre (motorbike) but just managed to make it to the town where the seminar was as I had friends at the seminar who I hoped could help me fix it.
Unfortunately we couldn't fix it and I had to leave the bike in the car park overnight. I was parked in a car space but since the car park was quite small and very full when I got there, and there was no clear space designated for bikes, I thought it would be ok in the space. I left a note on the bike to say I had broken down and would be back the next day to pick it up. Tyre was very obviously, completely flat.
I got given a ticket for failing to buy a car parking ticket but a) motorbikes park for free and b) I had no way to attaching a ticket to my bike. Wtbu to give me a ticket for this or should I just pay the ticket? Is it worth contesting it?

AIBU?
Were they unreasonable to give me a ticket?
