BAFTA Council Chair Says Trustees May Have Breached Charity Law Over Free Guest Tickets

BAFTA trustees may have breached charity and company law by accepting free guest tickets to awards ceremonies, membership council chair Michael Pritchett told members at the annual general meeting. He cited legal advice he obtained at his own expense. BAFTA says trustees attend in a working capacity; guest tickets ended in 2025, and an independent review is under way.
