They then kept 4,000 of the 14,000 tickets for family and friends of council folks and the local newspaper

5,000 of the remaining 10,000 tickets went to locals the rest went "elsewhere"

the show generated about £270,000

this cost every local person who didn't go £40 for the privelidge

the head of the Lib Dems arranged 2 overnight off site meetings, 2 miles from the council offices , these involved overnight stays and in one case a wine bill for 3 people running into several hundred pounds


the concert thing I think was to boost their egos and the hotel/wine as sleazy as anything from MPs
