Morning all.

Bit of a strange one that I'm hoping someone can help me out with. I am currently on holiday and was due to fly back Monday, my son has been ill and couldn't fly (chicken pox), flight has been re arranged for Thursday night now but my car is parked at EMA short stay 2 which was pre booked 18 months ago, I can't get in touch with anyone there to let them know.
My concern is that when I get home at 1am Friday morning it won't open the auto barrier and I don't see how I would pay the extra as its all done on ANPR (barrier just opened when I arrived).

Anyone else been in this situation before or have any contacts at EMA I can call? Last thing I want is to be stuck in the car park smile

I don't know about EMA specifically but I'm sure either there will be a button on the barrier machine to call an operator and sort it our, or it'll just charge the credit card you paid on originally and open the barrier.

Again, not EMA but I managed to get hold of the parking company who rinsed me about £20 for the extra day.

On return, it seems I could have just paid the excess at the PlayStation and it would have been £5. Annoyed much?

Thanks for the replies, I've found a number, rang and held for over 20 minutes each time (5 times now) to be cut off, probably cost me more on phone calls so far! Think I'll just have to leave it and see what happens!
