BMW drivers to get VIP parking at Falls Creek

[The Frog]

For Season 2019 BMW drivers will benefit from Falls Creek’s major sponsorship deal with the luxury car manufacturer.A number of reserved priority parking spots will made available to BMW drivers in winter 2019. BMW VIP Parks will be located alongside QT Falls Creek and Ropers Apartments and will allow BMW drivers to park overnight without using the long term parking zones.

This one is causing a bit of a discussion with some people saying they will boycott Falls Creek, I don't own a BMW these days so it will not give me free parking. I cant see anything wrong with this, obviously BMW Australia and paying to reserve those parking places, so why should anyone object.

I don't think they mentioned anything about free parking, just VIP meaning a closer parking spot.

In that case I agree with people being upset, at present those spots are for day parking, people with young kids and for those who make the effort to get up there early, now those people will have to park further away and cross the icy road which is on an incline, hard to cross without slipping over most days. While those with a BMW staying for a week or longer get these parks, even though if they parked in the overnight parking spaces, they would get picked up by the free shuttle, what is the advantage to these BMW owners ?

I reckon they might be getting more negative publicity than positive. Probably didn\'t think it through thoroughly.
