"Parking tickets" and "parking fines" are similar, and English speakers often use both to mean the same thing. In the case of the video, "parking ticket" does refer to "parking fine". However, they actually have slightly different meanings. A "parking ticket" is the piece of paper issued by the police and put on your car. A "parking fine" is the amount of money you have to pay for receiving the ticket.
