Pop Toy Show 2025 Tickets

Ticketing for Pop Toy Show 2025 opened through Trip.com, with the second batch of premium tickets released on 3 July 2025 at 12pm. The first batch sold out in just five minutes, a sign of how strongly the Singapore collector community has latched onto this event since its debut.

Ticket Availability

Tickets are available via the official Pop Toy Show website (ticket vendor: Trip.com). One account is limited to one Premium Ticket purchase to prevent scalping. Standard ticket holders get entry into an online raffle for exclusive merchandise, while Premium Ticket holders receive an exclusive product raffle draw entry.

Pricing Details

Three ticket tiers are available:

  • Standard Ticket (online): S$32 per person for single-day access
  • Standard Ticket (at door): S$38 per person for single-day access
  • Premium Ticket: S$208, includes early entry from 9:30AM plus raffle access
  • 3-Day Pass: S$72 per person (TheSmartLocal)
  • Group Bundle (4 pax): S$108 for standard 3-day access (TheSmartLocal)
What to watch

Early bird tickets at S$28 were mentioned in one source but may no longer be available. Check the official site for current pricing and any flash sales before the event.

The bundle pricing at S$108 for four people undercuts buying individual day passes and makes the event more accessible—but Premium Tickets are effectively gone after two release windows, so standard tickets are likely your only path in.

Pop Toy Show 2025 Location

The event takes over Sands Expo & Convention Centre, Level 1, Halls A, B, and C at 10 Bayfront Avenue, Singapore 018956. That’s the same building connected to Marina Bay Sands, putting the convention in the heart of the city’s entertainment district.

Sands Expo & Convention Centre Details

Sands Expo is directly linked to Bayfront MRT station (CE1/DT16) via Exit E. Several bus routes also serve the area: 97, 106, 133, 502, and 518. For those driving, Marina Bay Sands offers parking, though costs add up quickly in that part of the city.

Marina Bay Sands Access

Because Sands Expo sits underneath the Marina Bay Sands complex, attendees can combine the convention with other attractions in the area—the ArtScience Museum, Gardens by the Bay, and the waterfront are all within walking distance. The 3m Hirono sculpture activation faces Marina Bay itself, giving early arrivals or evening walkers an outdoor photo moment even before entering the halls.

The upshot

For visitors flying into Singapore Changi Airport, the MRT journey to Bayfront takes roughly 40 minutes with one transfer. Budget that time if you’re arriving for early Premium entry at 9:30AM.

Marina Bay Sands area hotels and restaurants carry premium price tags. If you’re traveling from outside Singapore or want to minimize daily commute stress, consider stays in the Orchard or Bugis area—the MRT line connects directly.

Pop Toy Show 2025 Schedule

Pop Toy Show 2025 runs for three consecutive days, 22–24 August 2025. Public hours run from 11AM to 8PM daily, with last entry at 7:30PM. Premium Ticket holders get a significant head start with 9:30AM entry on all three days.

Daily Timings

  • Premium Ticket Holders: Entry from 9:30AM
  • General Public: Entry from 11AM
  • Daily Close: 8PM (last entry 7:30PM)

Event Highlights

Several activations run alongside the main exhibition floor:

  • Drone Show: 1,300 drones featuring POP MART characters on 22 and 23 August at 8:15PM for 15 minutes, viewable free from Marina Bay Waterfront Promenade (Dejiki)
  • Hirono Event Square Activation: “The Wild Adventures of Hirono” runs 14–31 August 2025, including the outdoor 3m sculpture facing Marina Bay (TheNewAgeParents)
  • Hall of Fame: Featured exhibit space celebrating POP MART IP history (Dejiki)
  • Meet-and-greets and photo spots: Scattered throughout the three halls

The drone show and outdoor Hirono activation extend the Pop Toy Show experience beyond the convention walls—and both are free to watch from Marina Bay Waterfront Promenade, meaning you don’t need a ticket to catch the spectacle.

Pop Toy Show 2025 Singapore

This is the third edition of Pop Toy Show in Singapore, making it a maturing fixture on the regional collector calendar. The event was first launched in Beijing in 2020, and Singapore joined the lineup in subsequent years as POP MART expanded its international presence. The 2025 edition is part of the Twin Cities Program pairing Singapore with Beijing, which held its PTS 1–3 August 2025 at the National Convention Center.

Organiser POP MART

POP MART describes Pop Toy Show as its flagship celebration of pop-culture toys and collectibles, uniting global and Southeast Asian artists, brands, and fans. The event focuses on POP MART intellectual property—Labubu, Hacipupu, Crybaby, Pucky—plus regional and international toy makers. It’s less a traditional toy expo and more a curated collector experience with exclusive drops, artist appearances, and immersive activations.

Fan Activations

Artist appearances anchor the fan experience at Pop Toy Show 2025:

  • Lang: Creator of Hirono, making a special appearance (TimeOut Singapore)
  • Agee and Yep: Creators of Haci Pupu
  • Bao: Creator of Kubo
  • Monkiddo and Clogtwo: Additional featured artists

The event also pledged a S$50,000 donation to the Singapore Red Cross’ Young Hearts Programme, though this wasn’t independently verified at time of publication.

Singapore’s third edition benefits from lessons learned in Beijing and prior Singapore events—but the sold-out-in-five-minutes Premium Ticket demand shows supply hasn’t caught up with appetite.

The trade-off

For 2026, collectors who want premium access should plan ticket purchases early, or settle for standard access and work the activations that don’t require premium entry.

Pop Toy Show 2025 Drone Show

One of the most talked-about elements of Pop Toy Show 2025 is the drone show, a free outdoor spectacle that expands the event beyond Sands Expo’s walls.

Drone Show Details

The drone show runs on 22 and 23 August 2025 at 8:15PM for approximately 15 minutes. A fleet of 1,300 drones will feature POP MART characters in a synchronized display. The viewing location is Marina Bay Waterfront Promenade—no ticket required. (Dejiki)

General ticket holders exiting the venue at closing time may need to choose between catching the drone show from outside or staying inside for last-minute floor browsing.

Bottom line: Standard ticket holders who plan early and study the raffle rules stand the best chance of accessing exclusives at S$32 entry. General visitors who skip the indoor event entirely can still enjoy the free drone show and 3m Hirono sculpture at Marina Bay without purchasing any ticket.

POP TOY SHOW Singapore is POP MART’s flagship celebration of pop-culture toys and collectibles, uniting global and Southeast Asian artists, brands and fans.
