Here's How You Can Meet Robert Downey Jr. And Benedict Cumberbatch This April!

We’re less than a month away from the release of Avengers: Infinity War and we know that Marvel fans are already clearing their schedule to watch the movie on opening night, 26 April. What’s better yet, in two weeks’ time, the stars from the movie are making their way to our sunny island for a red carpet fan event! Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man), Benedict Cumberbatch (Doctor Strange), Karen Gillan (Nebula) and Director Joe Russo will be assembling at Marina Bay Sands on 16 April, and you can meet them for free!

The event will be held at Marina Bay Sands Event Plaza (outdoor promenade), from 7:30pm. 
However, due to venue capacity limitations, we won’t be able to just walk in through the golden gates to meet the super heroes. Don’t worry, we’ve got the full deets, so carry on reading to find out how to meet your favourite Avenger at the red carpet fan event!


Step 1: Register Before The Event

Fans have to register to gain access to the event to ensure that the venue is not overcrowded. All you have to do is be at Sands Expo and Convention Centre, Hall B at 7am to queue and register for a non-transferrable wristband that will give you access to the evening event. Registration will be based on a first-come-first-serve basis, and you have to be there in person to register yourself. You will get your wristband put on you on the spot, so you don’t have to worry about losing it!
Here’s what you will need to provide to register: a photo ID, your full name and your contact number.
We know Singaporeans are pretty kiasu when it comes to queueing and we don’t mind queuing up overnight for a one-off event like this. However, you won’t be allowed to queue prior to 7am so don’t pitch your tents at Marina Bay Sands the night before. There’s no doubt that the security at Marina Bay Sands will be tight (considering how iconic the structure is to our skyline) so we’re sure that they will strictly keep to this rule and be on the look out for loiterers.
You’ll probably be spending the whole day out – from queuing for registration to the main red carpet fan event, itself – so it’s tempting to all your barang barang to keep you busy while you wait for the event to start. However, we recommend that you pack light so that you can move without worrying about being jostled and also because there’ll be security and bag checks around the Event Plaza and expo halls.
 

Step 2: Take Down The Admission Times & The Entry Points To The Event

Now that the most stressful part is over, you’ll be issued a paper slip with the admission times and the entry points to the Event Plaza. Make sure you keep the slip of paper properly so that you’ll know where to go! We suggest taking a quick photo of the details with your handphone, just in case.
 

3. Get Hyped With Some Marvel Movies And Activities

Now you can head to Sands Expo and Convention Centre, Hall A, for a film screening of Marvel Studios’ Avengers: Age of Ultron and Captain America: Civil War! You’ll probably be feeling hungry from all the excitement so make a beeline for the concession stands selling food and beverages in the hall. We know that time always passes extra slowly when we’re excited for something to start. Fortunately, there will also be interactive experiences available throughout the whole day, so that you can kill time before the main event!
 

4. Head Into The Hall And Wait For The Event To Start!

Now that the gates to the Event Plaza have opened, all you’ll have to do is sit back, relax and wait for the cast to make their appearance! The red carpet will kick of at 7:30pm so make sure that you’ve taken your seats by then. Take note that this will be a rain or shine event, so bring along a poncho because the event will be held outdoors.
 
Just to go over it again, here’s a quick summary of the admission process:

We hope this will bring you a step closer to your favourite Marvel Super Heroes. Although not the whole cast is here, we’re contented with Robert Downey Jr. and Benedict Cumberbatch, already. The once-in-a-lifetime event is going to draw a huge crowd – how often do we get to meet the Avengers? But remember, safety is always the top priority in any event! And also have fun!
The Marvel Studios’ Avengers: Infinity War Red Carpet Fan Event will be held at Marina Bay Sands Event Plaza on 16 April, 7:30pm. 
Avengers: Infinity War screens in local cinemas, from 26 April.
