When the User arrives at the entry gate of the car park (at the time arranged in the reservation), he must display the QR Code that was sent to him in front of the optical reader.

In case of the loss of his Ticket, the User must present the Order confirmation email to prove payment for the Service and to be able to obtain a replacement exit ticket.

In case of loss of the Order confirmation email, no exit ticket can be issued to the User, who must then pay for the parking at the rate currently in force in the Car Park.
