Parking tickets in the Lower Austrian town of Mödling

A parking ticket is a paper receipt that serves as a receipt for a temporary authorization to use the parking space. The parking ticket must be clearly legible from the outside on or in the vehicle.

The parking ticket can either be a receipt printed directly from the parking ticket machine or a pre-printed ticket on which only the corresponding time has to be entered manually. In some places, combined systems are used, with the choice between different systems for paying parking fees.

The system allows the operator to sell a parking space several times. Some of the users leave the site prematurely; it is usually not possible to resell the ticket that has not expired.

If a parking ticket machine does not work, you can park for the maximum parking time using a parking disc . A supervisor can visually check the validity of the parking ticket.

In Vienna , parking tickets for chargeable short-term parking zones (blue zones) are not available at parking ticket machines, but are only offered for personal sale in tobacconists , post offices, petrol stations, ticket machines of Wiener Linien, at the city ticket offices as well as at the ÖAMTC and the ARBÖ .

In some cities, the parking fee can also be paid via mobile phone parking . The paper receipt is not required and is replaced by the parking authorization being deposited on a server of the provider . The supervisor can check the validity of the parking process by making a request to the provider.

An invalid parking ticket will be prosecuted as an administrative offense in Germany as a violation of Section 13 of the Road Traffic Act .

In Feldkirch , Vorarlberg, after the introduction of an advertising print on the back of parking tickets, parking tickets were increasingly lying upside down, which is fined with € 20 because the parking ticket is illegible.
