Former mayor Denis Coderre knew exactly how many tickets had been sold the day after last July’s ill-fated Formula E race, Montreal’s auditor general says in a scathing report.

And it was not 25,000, as Coderre said two days before last November’s election.

Nor was it 15,000, as Montréal c’est électrique (MCE), the non-profit agency that ran the Formula E, reported in February.

Only 13,646 tickets to the electric car race were sold — a number that “was available and known” immediately after the event, says Michele Galipeau in her 536-page report for 2017, which was tabled in city council Monday.

The Coderre administration had “no business case” for the event, “including a description of the project, issues, risks and overall costs,” Galipeau says.

And he could have told the public the next day that nearly 35,000 tickets were given away for the race held July 29-30 instead of evading questions for three months before finally giving the wrong number, the report suggests.
