英国电影和电视艺术学院（BAFTA）会员委员会主席Michael Pritchett在年会上指控，该机构受托人可能因接受颁奖典礼的免费嘉宾门票而违反了《慈善法》和《公司法》1。Pritchett指出，尽管学院章程明确禁止受托人从中获取报酬或其他利益，但在过去20年间，受托人仍持续获得价值不菲的贵宾席及嘉宾票1。据悉，电影颁奖典礼的第二张嘉宾票售价约为2000英镑，且自2016年起此类福利可能涉及纳税义务及国家保险支付问题1。此外，2024年和2025年的账目显示无受托人获得报酬，这一记录与实际情况不符1。
针对上述指控，BAFTA现任主席Sara Putt确认董事会已决定于2025年终止向受托人发放嘉宾票的做法1。Putt表示，目前正由一个独立审查小组对相关的历史票务安排及会计问题进行调查1。值得注意的是，会员去年支付了470万英镑的会费1。
Michael Pritchett, chair of the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) membership committee, has alleged that the organization's trustees may have violated charity and company law by accepting complimentary guest tickets to its awards ceremonies. 1 The accusation, raised during the annual general meeting, points to a potential conflict with BAFTA's constitution, which prohibits trustees from receiving remuneration or other benefits from the academy. 1 According to Pritchett, trustees have accepted valuable VIP seats and accompanying guest passes for the past two decades, despite these regulations. 1
The financial value of these perks is significant, with the second guest ticket for the film ceremony priced at approximately £2,000. 1 Pritchett further claimed that while the accounts for 2024 and 2025 show no remuneration paid to trustees, this does not align with the actual provision of these tickets. 1 He noted that since 2016, such benefits may have also triggered obligations regarding tax liabilities and National Insurance payments. 1
In response to the allegations, Sara Putt, the current chair of BAFTA, confirmed that the practice of issuing guest tickets to trustees was discontinued in 2025. 1 She stated that an independent review panel has been established to examine the historical arrangements concerning both ticketing and accounting issues. 1 It was also noted that members paid £4.7 million in fees last year, highlighting the scale of the organization's finances amidst these compliance questions. 1
