    Missed the BAFTA Red Carpet? Here’s How to Secure Your Spot in the Fan Pen for 2027

    If you’ve been scrolling through your feed recently, you’ve seen the glitz, the glamour, and the absolute slay that is the 2026 BAFTA Film Awards. 

    While we’ve all been watching the stars descend on the Royal Festival Hall on Sunday the 22nd of February 26, we’ve been wondering about one thing: “How do I get into those red carpet fan pens?”

     
    If you’re looking to get close enough to see the tailoring on Cillian Murphy’s suit or the shimmer on Florence Pugh’s gown, listen up. 

    It’s never too early to prepare your strategy for the next BAFTA Awards or the upcoming Television Awards in the spring, if you want to take a chance to get exclusive access. 

    Here is the ultimate LBN Guide to entering and hopefully winning the BAFTA ballot:

    1. The Golden Rule: Use the Official Plug

    First things first: Never pay for tickets. BAFTA manages all public red carpet access exclusively through ApplauseStore. It is a free service. If someone is trying to sell you a “fan pen pass” in the DMs, it’s a scam. Block and move on!.

    2. Set Your Calendar Alerts

    The London awards season moves fast. For the Film Awards, the ballot usually opens in December or early January. You need to be registered and have your request in about two weeks before the ceremony. For 2026, the window slammed shut on February 8th, with lucky winners getting those “Golden Ticket” emails a few days later.

    3. The Step-by-Step

    • Get Registered: Create an account at ApplauseStore.com.
    • The Search: Keep your eyes peeled for “EE BAFTA Film Awards Red Carpet.”
    • The Limit: You can usually request a maximum of two tickets—so choose your bestie wisely.
    • Accessibility Matters: BAFTA is big on inclusivity. There is a specific section for access adjustments to ensure everyone has a prime view of the action.

    4. The Reality Check (Influencer Pro-Tips)

    Winning the ballot is just the beginning. This is a lottery, not a guarantee. Even with an e-ticket, ApplauseStore often overbooks to ensure the pens look packed for the global cameras.

    If you want to be at the very front, you’ve got to be dedicated. 

    We’re talking 6 AM (or earlier!) arrival times to secure your spot in the queue. It’s a marathon of glamour coffee and London chill, but for that selfie with Hollywood royalty? Totally worth it. 

    And after your award marathon you can treat yourself to some well-deserved afternoon tea or buffet in London’s top spots.
