BAFTA reviews free awards tickets for trustees’ guests amid charity-law concerns

Deadline reports that BAFTA’s review follows concerns raised by membership council chair Michael Pritchett that free tickets for trustees’ guests may have breached charity law. BAFTA says it ended the plus-one practice in 2025 but still invites trustees to awards in a working capacity. Screen reports the review began in August and its outcome was expected within weeks of October 29, 2026.
