The B.C. government has confirmed it spent almost $1 million of taxpayers' money on 3,200 prime seats at the upcoming 2010 Winter Games for MLAs and cabinet minister to host visiting politicians, dignitaries and business leaders.
On Wednesday, the NDP opposition released documents obtained through the Freedom of Information Act that showed the government had bought the tickets, but the prices had been deleted from the documents.
During Question Period in the legislature that afternoon, the NDP turned up the pressure on B.C.'s Liberal government to release the cost of the tickets, which included 1,000 luxury seats in box suites at BC Place, GM Place and the Pacific Coliseum for the duration of the Olympic Games in February.

Why should we have to fit the bill for the policticians and special people. They are rich enough to afford their own tickets. What a waste of taxpayers money.
They keep proving over and over again that they have forgotton the economic times that exist. All they care about are themselves and their friends.
