A lawyer says it would be useful to have a look at regulations around parking fines. 

Some concert goers at a Foo Fighters show in Auckland were left hundreds of dollars out of pocket after a parking scam led to them being towed. 

Clifton Chambers Barrister Ben Hamlin says people will have to pay the fee, but they can raise a dispute after the fact around if the fee was reasonable. 

He told Tim Dower that there's room for reform.  

Hamlin says there should be a maximum fee for private towing, same as there is for public carparks.
