2014 Daily Mail headline
ANGER AS BBC HANDS OUT HUNDREDS OF FREE WIMBLEDON TICKETS TO WEALTHY BUSINESSMEN 
Authors Miles Goslett and Martin Beckford

2016 Heat St headline 
BBC GAVE AWAY 421 WIMBLEDON TICKETS TO CRONIES 
Author Miles Goslett

In 2014, as part of its coverage deal, the BBC had 382 complimentary Centre Court and Court No 1 tickets across the two week tournament. 147 went to staff, either as a reward for good work, or, at a senior level, for a donation to charity.

In 2016, as part of the continuing coverage deal, the BBC had 421 complimentary tickets. 224 went to staff, either as a reward for good work, or, at a senior level, for a donation to charity. Both classes of employees are now apparently deemed 'cronies'.

Any journalists interest in yachting news ?
