> Quick view: TGV Cinemas is throwing a free five-day Spider-Man fan convention, HERO-CON 2026, at its new Pavilion Damansara Heights cinema — free entry for all ages, plus free movie tickets (while stocks last, no purchase needed) for completing the TGV Heroic Quest trail, running 29 July to 2 August 2026.

What's on

  • HERO-CON 2026 (Spider-Man Edition) is TGV Cinemas' first fan convention, marking both the opening of its new cinema at Pavilion Damansara Heights and the release of *Spider-Man: Brand New Day*
  • Free entry for all ages — Pavilion Arena and the new TGV Cinemas turn into a Spider-Man-themed playground with physical challenges, games, cosplay, collectables, photo moments and fan booths
  • Complete the TGV Heroic Quest trail and claim a free movie ticket while stocks last — TGV's own announcement is explicit that this is no purchase needed, just show up and finish the mission before tickets run out
  • Fill up a Hero-Con Passport during the event for a shot at lucky-draw prizes, including Poh Kong gold and movie tickets
  • Runs 29 July-2 August 2026, 11am-8pm daily

Where

Level 5, TGV Cinemas + Pavilion Arena, Pavilion Damansara Heights, Kuala Lumpur — this is the venue for TGV's brand-new cinema outlet, and HERO-CON 2026 is exclusive to this location.

Fine print

  • The free movie tickets are tied to completing the Heroic Quest trail, not simply walking in — TGV's messaging is "while stocks last," but no specific daily ticket quota has been published, so earlier in the day is safer
  • This is a single-venue event (Pavilion Damansara Heights only) tied to the new cinema's opening — it isn't a nationwide TGV promo
  • Hero-Con Passport lucky-draw mechanics (odds, exact prize list) weren't fully detailed in the sourcing available for this run — confirm at the event booth
  • Verified against TGV Cinemas' own event page (tgv.com.my), TGV's official X/Twitter announcement, and The Star's coverage of the Pavilion Damansara Heights opening, all agreeing on dates, venue and the free-entry/no-purchase-needed ticket mechanic

Tips

  • Come early in the day — first-come-first-served activities and while-stocks-last tickets tend to run thin by late afternoon at fan conventions like this
  • TGV's social posts point to an RSVP link (bit.ly/TGV-HEROCON26SE) for updates, though the official messaging is "just show up" — walk-ins are welcome either way
  • Since this is the launch weekend for a brand-new cinema, expect crowds around the Pavilion Arena and Level 5 lift lobbies — build in extra time
