

2. Ticketing (Concert / Exhibition + Day Stage / Exhibition / Meet & Greet)



Will AFA Singapore 2024 have a ticketed entry for general attendees?

Yes, AFA Singapore 2024 is a ticketed event. Exhibition + Day Stage and Concert tickets are available in various tiers. Please check our website for more information: https://animefestival.asia/afasg24/ticketing



Can I buy concert and meet & greet tickets separately?

Yes, Concert tickets and Meet & Greet tickets are sold separately. Meet & Greet tickets allow access only to the session, not to the Exhibition, Day Stage, or Concert areas. You can purchase a Concert/ Exhibition + Day Stage / Exhibition ticket for entry to those sections.



Do I need to print my event ticket, or can I show it on my phone?

You may display your e-ticket on your Ticketmaster account via mobile at the entrance. Screenshots of tickets are not accepted, as they need to be verified directly from the Ticketmaster app or website.

Alternatively, you may also present a PDF of your ticket. Likewise, screenshots are not accepted.



Will there be age restrictions at the event or concert?

Age restrictions vary depending on the event segment. Concert age requirements will be posted along with ticketing details, while general event admission policies will be listed in the Admission Policy section of our Ticketing platform.



Can I bring items for performers to sign at a Meet & Greet session?

Meet & Greet sessions include a designated postcard or shikishi for signing. Other personal items, including character-specific merchandise, will not be eligible for signatures.



Are Exhibition and Day Stage tickets sold separately from VIP packages?

Yes, Exhibition + Day Stage and Exhibition tickets will be released separately from VIP and Concert packages.



How many tickets can I purchase at once?

Each Ticketmaster account can purchase up to 10 tickets per tier in one transaction.



3. Wristband Redemption & Event Entry



Why can’t I redeem earlier?

There will be no earlier redemption to create one clear starting entry point for all attendees who are entering the festival halls for the first time of the day.

Integrating the wristband collection with the bag checks means attendees will no longer need to queue repeatedly or face problems figuring out which entry point they should go to.

We have put in place additional resources to make the entry into the halls as seamless and fast as possible, while we maintain the safety of all attendees.



Why do I need to redeem everyday?

Attendee wristbands are different for each day to facilitate easy identification. Previously, there were incidents where attendees accidentally wore incorrect wristbands to the event, which resulted in the queues slowing down for the rest of the attendees.

To smoothen the process and speed queues up this year, we are issuing each day’s wristbands on the same day. This will allow our staff to quickly identify attendees for entry and shorten the time needed to enter the halls.



How do I pass tickets to my friends?

For group purchases, we advise you to print out the tickets at home and pass it to each member of your group for redemption.

Alternatively, you can split the E-ticket PDF into individual pages and send them to your group members.



Do I need to go to level 1 for re-entry? Where is re-entry?

Attendees who have stepped out of the event halls can re-enter AFA again, on the same day, without using the entry point on Level 1.

You can proceed directly to the dedicated Re-Entry Point (with separate lanes) at Level 3. Just show your wristband to the staff at Level 3 to re-enter and resume your AFA experience.



Where do concert tickets holders go to enter?

All Concert ticket holders have Fast Lane Access at the wristband redemption point.

3-Day VIP Concert ticket holders will receive their novelty items together with their wristbands.



Can I enter Level 3 without an entry ticket?

Suntec Singapore Convention & Exhibition Centre’s Level 3 remains open for public access.



4. Others



Are there any special arrangements for wheelchair users and other differently-abled ticketholders?

A wheelchair-user or a similarly differently-abled customer with one (1) companion may proceed directly to Level 3 using the lifts. Please approach a staff member, and they should allow your one (1) companion to collect your two (2) wristbands.

Once both of your wristbands have been redeemed, you may proceed to Level 4 using the lifts. Staff stationed on Level 4 should allow both the wheelchair-user or differently-abled customer and their one (1) companion to enter.



Can I send or bring flower stands for the performers?

Yes, flower stands are allowed but require pre-registration. Please fill out the interest form HERE and adhere to the listed guidelines.



Will there be specific guidelines for cosplay props?

Yes, there will be specific guidelines for cosplay props, including weapon replicas and large accessories. Please refer to the event’s latest guidelines here: https://animefestival.asia/afasg24/event-guide/#event-rules
