Stop wealthy seat-holders' big profits from reselling at Royal Albert Hall, peer says
Briefly

A member of the House of Lords raised concerns about potential conflicts of interest in the governance of the Royal Albert Hall (RAH), where wealthy trustees who own seats might profit from resale activities. Current proposals aim to amend governance practices to protect the RAH's charitable status. The Charity Commission supports these changes, acknowledging that many seat-holders, including individuals and companies, often sell their tickets at inflated prices via third-party sites, raising ethical questions regarding the hall's legacy and financial integrity.
Recent proposals by the House of Lords could expose the Royal Albert Hall to a conflict of interest by enabling wealthy trustees to profit from ticket sales.
Robin Hodgson addresses concerns that the governance of the Royal Albert Hall could lead to financial exploitation of its charitable status by wealthy individuals.
