T-Mobile Parking Ticket
Car drivers across the UK will be gifted thousands of pounds, disguised as parking fines, today as teams of phoney traffic wardens take to the streets in a countrywide stunt being pulled by T-Mobile.
Famous for featuring unsuspecting members of the public in its TV ads, T-Mobile is turning its attention to motorists and traffic wardens to give them an unexpected surprise in the stunt. Teams of actors and comedians, dressed as traffic wardens, have been employed by the leading mobile communications brand to place reverse-fines on hundreds of legally parked cars across England, Scotland and Wales.
Streets and car parks around the country have been rigged with hidden cameras to capture the reactions of unsuspecting drivers returning to their cars. Millions of people are expected to witness the funniest reactions when they are featured in a new TV ad airing this Friday night at 9.15pm on Channel 5.
In a twist to be captured by the cameras, the imitation parking tickets will, instead of a fine, contain a £5, £10, £20 or £50 note and a good day message from T-Mobile in celebration of the launch of the new You Fix plan. The brand will be giving away thousands of pounds throughout the course of today as it films its Parking Ticket advert.
Drivers parking in and around the surrounding areas of Newcastle, Cardiff, Edinburgh, London, Bristol, Brighton, Birmingham and Manchester are expected to be most likely to receive the special fines. Over £300 million has already been handed out by traffic wardens across the UK in the last 12 months, with these regions some of the worst hit in the UK.
