Singapore Comic Con 2026: Booth Display Guide

Singapore Comic Con (SGCC) 2026 runs on 5 and 6 December 2026, 10am to 8pm daily, with an invite-only Preview Night on 4 December 2026, at Sands Expo & Convention Centre, Marina Bay Sands, 10 Bayfront Avenue, Singapore 018956. It is Singapore's biggest pop-culture and collectibles convention, bringing together more than 200 creators, comics, toys, anime, gaming and cosplay under one roof. This guide answers what visitors actually search before going — dates, hours, how to get there, what is inside and how to plan a day — then, at the end, covers booth displays for anyone exhibiting or running an artist-alley table. Pullupstand is an independent Singapore display supplier since 2007 and is not affiliated with SGCC or its organiser.

When and where is Singapore Comic Con 2026?

Singapore Comic Con 2026 takes place on 5 and 6 December 2026, with a Preview Night on 4 December 2026 for VIP, media and invited guests, at Sands Expo & Convention Centre, Marina Bay Sands, 10 Bayfront Avenue, Singapore 018956. The show spans Level 1 (Halls A, B and C) and Basement 2 (Halls D and E). Always confirm the final schedule on the official Singapore Comic Con website before you plan travel, as hall use and programming are finalised closer to the event.

What time does Singapore Comic Con 2026 open?

The public show hours are 10am to 8pm on both 5 and 6 December, with early access from 9am for eligible ticket holders. That is a 10-hour public window each day. The separate Preview Night on 4 December is not open to general admission — it is reserved for VIP, media and invited guests. Confirm your ticket tier's entry time on the official site, because early-access windows vary by ticket type.

How do you get to Marina Bay Sands for SGCC 2026?

The simplest route is the MRT: Bayfront station (Downtown Line and Circle Line) connects directly to the Marina Bay Sands complex, and Sands Expo & Convention Centre is a short indoor walk from the station through The Shoppes. Multiple bus services stop along Bayfront Avenue. Marina Bay Sands has large paid car parks if you drive, but on a convention weekend public transport is faster and avoids the queue for exit barriers. Give yourself extra time — the complex is huge and the halls sit across two levels.

What is inside Singapore Comic Con 2026?

SGCC 2026 gathers over 200 creators, collectors and exhibitors across a floor of comics, toys, collectibles, anime and cosplay merchandise. Expect an artist alley of independent illustrators, a celebrity and creator programme with guest appearances and signings, panels and stage sessions, competitive and community cosplay, and exclusive convention merchandise. Guest line-ups, the full stage schedule and any autograph or photo-op details are announced by the organiser closer to December, so watch the official channels for confirmed names.

How much are Singapore Comic Con 2026 tickets?

SGCC sells tiered tickets — including a premium Platinum tier that unlocks Preview Night access — but final prices and on-sale dates had not been fully published at the time of writing. We have deliberately not quoted a figure, because an unconfirmed price would mislead you. Buy only through the official ticketing page on the Singapore Comic Con site to avoid resellers, and check there for the live rate and what each tier includes.

How should you plan an SGCC day?

Two days, two levels and 200-plus booths reward a little planning:

• If your ticket includes 9am early access, use it — artist-alley exclusives and limited toys sell out fastest in the first hour.
• Map your must-see booths across Level 1 and Basement 2 before you arrive so you are not backtracking between floors.
• The halls are strongly air-conditioned; a light layer helps over a full day.
• Bring both card and PayNow or cash — many independent artist-alley sellers prefer instant transfers.
• Always ask a cosplayer before photographing them, and confirm the venue's bag and prop policy on the official site before you pack.

For Exhibitors, Artists & Cosplayers: booth displays that convert

If you are taking a booth or an artist-alley table rather than attending as a fan, the rest of this guide is for you. SGCC is a crowded floor where fans move quickly between tables, and the booths that convert are readable from the aisle. In our experience fitting out booths at Marina Bay Sands and Suntec, the setups that win lead with one bold visual at standing height, then keep product, artwork and pricing clean at the table.

What is the best display setup for an SGCC booth?

The best setup pairs a standing eye-catcher with table-level clarity. A foam board standee — a life-size hero, mascot or character graphic you own — is the strongest crowd-puller and photo magnet. Add a pull-up banner for your name, socials and a QR code, and lightweight poster or foam board prints for artwork and pricing.

Print only artwork you own or are licensed to use — never a franchise you do not have rights to, as the copyright risk sits with you as the exhibitor.

Sands Expo logistics: setup, air-con and access

Sands Expo logistics reward displays that are light, self-supporting and quick to reposition. Booth and artist-table space is finite, so oversized rigs cost you selling area and block sightlines. Marina Bay Sands halls are strongly air-conditioned, which can shift a loosely rolled banner overnight, so straighten graphics each morning. Move-in windows are scheduled and shared with many exhibitors, so pre-pack by booth and label each case. As print specialists, we would spec a stable standee base and a matte laminate to reduce glare under bright hall lighting.

How early should you print for SGCC 2026?

Print at least three to four weeks before SGCC 2026, because early December is peak event season in Singapore. Standard turnaround is two to three working days once artwork is print-ready, but standees and large prints need proofing time. Supply print-ready PDFs in CMYK with correct bleed, and confirm any standee cut shape early. If you are unsure how to set up a file for a life-size cut-out, our team can review your artwork before it goes to print.
