Blazers had to engage in various competitions for the rare chance to be the first people in East Africa to watch the movie in an exclusive pre-premier event.
One of the competitions created by Blaze Kenya on Facebook, required the competitors (Blaze ballers) to name all the Avengers movies in the correct order and tag five of their friends (Blaze baller squad) , where the top seven comments getting the most likes, would win the tickets.
On Wednesday, the lucky marvel fans made their way to the Century Imax at the Garden City Mall for the event dubbed BLAZE Avengers Endgame amplification.
The buzzing fanatics gathered at the rooftop area of the mall which had been set up complete with a carpet and marvel banners for the winners.
The organisers went out of their way to impress with a touch of white couches, the latest issues of marvel comic books and a weapon used by one of the superheroes.

One blazer, David Mbewa, stated that he won his ticket via Facebook courtesy of Homeboyz Radio.
Mbewa had to subscribe to blaze, where he purchased blaze bundles then proceeded to pick a lucky number, took a screenshot and posted it online.
Winning the ticket to him came as a surprise as he had explained that he had been budgeting for the movie for a year after he missed the previous one in 2018, for lacking the resources to get the ticket.
The 24-year-old was so grateful for Safaricom as they rescued him from another disappointment of not having the chance to watch the most anticipated movie in the world.
