Just a quarter of the amount of parking fines were handed out to those attending the sold out Raiders preliminary final on Friday, compared with the previous home game at Canberra Stadium.
Parking inspectors issued just 53 fines as the majority of the 26,000 people who piled into the stadium were compliant with parking rules at the venue.
The number of fines written was just a fraction of the amount handed down on August 25 when fans were sent a clear message about parking as more than 200 fines, worth a total $28,000, were issued.
An ACT government spokesman said a "measured improvement" was seen in parking compliance at the most recent game, but some still chose to park illegally on nature strips throughout Bruce. About $9450 in revenue was raised from parking fines.
"Illegal parking can obscure the view and passage of road users, which can lead to significant delays or prevent emergency service access," the spokesman said.
"With more than 26,500 people attending the game on Friday night, it is important that the safety of everyone attending remained our highest priority."
Some chose to skip the parking chaos altogether and make the most of the free public transport offered to and from the game, with about 9,500 people using the service.
The spokesman said the public were "well serviced" by 52 free buses.
"Match ticket holders were also able to travel for free on light rail to connect with buses taking them directly to the match," he said.
"The network catered for about three times the number of supporters that would normally travel by bus to a regular match at GIO stadium."
There were 3000 car parks available at Canberra Stadium, with up to 400 car parks used as overflow at the nearby University of Canberra, the spokesman said.
Meanwhile, an ACT Policing spokesman said there were no arrests at the game.
"Police were very satisfied with the [crowd] behavior at the game," he said.
