Sudbury council probed over closed-door meetings in Elton John flap

28 03 2008

Ontario’s ombudsman says he will be looking into a complaint about a closed-door meeting held by Sudbury city council to discuss councillors’ advance access to tickets to an Elton John concert.

The complaint centres on allegations that city councillors met inappropriately behind closed doors prior to the March 2 concert to discuss matters related to the event, Andre Marin said in a written statement.

Councillors got into hot water over the concert when it became known that they and their families and friends had first access to about 100 tickets before the box office opened while many local residents were unable to get tickets at all to the sold-out event.
