Wellington airport parking

[shellfish]

Hi all, I'm a regular visitor to Wellington airport and I often park the bike there for the day. Airport staff have advised me repeatedly not to pay for parking as bikes are free.
With the new barriers in place its a hell of a squeeze getting out with a pretty wide bike - anyone else have this issue or is there an escape route that I've missed?

my impression(and its only an impression) is there is plenty of room at the exit barriers UPSTAIRS.I may be completely wrong

Do you take a ticket to get in & then go around the barriers to get out with no issues? Or should you/can you squeeze around the barrier to get in as well? I remember parking there for free a few years ago then the other week I assumed it was the same but then I took a ticket to get in, squeezed around to get out & now that i need to go back there again I am worried that I should have paid & now they will think I have been there for several weeks at huge fees.

The entrance and exit gates have cameras that scan the front number plates of cars. If you don't have a front plate there no way they will know how long you have been there.
