In a retail landscape where customer engagement is key to brand loyalty, Suria KLCC continues to lead the way with its flagship shopper reward programme – The Golden Ticket – returning for its sixth and most exciting edition to date.
Running from 9 to 25 May, this year’s campaign reimagines the traditional prize draw with a bold creative twist. Inspired by the timeless childhood board game Snakes and Ladders, the mall’s Centre Court has been transformed into a glowing neon playground, where interactivity, imagination, and instant gratification intersect to create a one-of-a-kind shopping experience.
At the heart of the campaign is the opportunity for shoppers to win up to RM10,000 in Suria KLCC Shopping e-Vouchers each day. Every participant is guaranteed a prize, with four distinct ticket tiers: Purple (RM50), Emerald (RM100), Ruby (RM5,000), and the highly coveted Golden Ticket (RM10,000).
To participate, shoppers must spend RM1,500 or more in two receipts from any specialty store. They will then be invited to roll a giant light-up dice and step onto the illuminated snakes-and-ladders game board to determine their prize. The element of chance brings spontaneity and thrill into the mix – a rare commodity in today’s structured mall environments.
“Our goal has always been to go beyond conventional retail. The Golden Ticket campaign isn’t just a reward mechanism – it’s an experiential journey,” said Francis Tan, Executive Director and CEO of Suria KLCC Sdn Bhd. “We wanted to create a moment of joy, wonder, and celebration for every visitor, and this year, we’ve raised the bar with a concept that blends nostalgia with spectacle.”
The Centre Court installation is a visual and sensory feast: flashing neon lights, upbeat celebratory music, and oversized props transport shoppers into a larger-than-life game environment. When a Ruby or Golden Ticket is revealed, the space erupts with light and sound, turning an ordinary day at the mall into a memory worth capturing.
Indeed, lucky winners are featured on the Wall of Winners, where they pose with mock cheques, giant dice, and ticket props, with their photos and videos displayed on a rotating digital screen. It’s a clever way to foster community, amplify word-of-mouth buzz, and keep foot traffic high throughout the campaign’s duration.
The experiential elements don’t stop there. A retro arcade photo booth, a claw machine stocked with surprise gifts, and weekend-only treat stations offering cotton candy and glow sticks enhance the festive ambience. These additions make The Golden Ticket a family-friendly affair, inviting shoppers of all ages to participate in the celebration.
While the campaign is centred around the in-mall experience, Suria KLCC has extended the festivities online. Through its social media channels, the mall is hosting digital contests and surprise giveaways – allowing even those who aren’t physically present to engage and win.
Retail Innovation Meets Cultural Resonance
The campaign is a testament to Suria KLCC’s ability to merge marketing creativity with strategic retail objectives. By gamifying the shopping experience, the mall not only incentivises higher spending but also ensures that every visit is imbued with a sense of excitement and reward.
This year’s edition is particularly resonant in a post-pandemic retail climate where consumers increasingly seek interactive and meaningful experiences rather than simple transactions. By leveraging familiar cultural motifs – such as the universally loved game of snakes and ladders – the campaign taps into childhood nostalgia, making it emotionally appealing and instantly relatable.
“What we’re seeing is the evolution of malls into lifestyle destinations,” said Elaine Chong, a retail marketing strategist. “Suria KLCC’s Golden Ticket campaign is an excellent case study of how experiential design, digital integration, and high-value incentives can work together to drive engagement and spend.”
From KLCC to the East Coast: A Nationwide Campaign
Following the overwhelming success at Suria KLCC, The Golden Ticket has also been rolled out at sister malls Alamanda Putrajaya and Mesra Mall in Terengganu, with equally dynamic set-ups tailored to each venue.
In Alamanda, the campaign runs from 23 May to 8 June, transforming its Centre Court into a whimsical forest version of snakes and ladders, with animated creatures, flowers, and lush green hues. Shoppers who spend RM500 or more get the chance to win prizes up to RM1,000 in e-Vouchers, with 50 winners each day.
At Mesra Mall, the campaign brings colour and vibrancy to the East Coast retail scene. With a minimum spend of just RM300, shoppers roll a giant dice to unlock mystery boxes containing vouchers worth up to RM1,000. The Centre Court installation here features oversized ladders, playful serpents, and photo-worthy backdrops.
Both malls replicate the celebratory flair seen at Suria KLCC – complete with lights, music, and cheerful photo ops – ensuring the campaign’s success is felt nationwide.
The Golden Ticket 2024 is more than a contest – it is a celebration of joy, nostalgia, and the delight of surprise. With over RM170,000 in e-Vouchers to be won at Suria KLCC alone, the campaign has once again positioned the mall as a trendsetter in retail engagement and experiential marketing.
