As you've likely heard, Marvel Studios had a gigantic event this week with a ton of news. The event where they announced details for their Phase 3 line of movies was geared towards the press but they weren't the only ones that got invited.
While the El Capitan Theater was packed, 20% of the theater was reserved for local Marvel Unlimited Plus members. This is just another added perk to being a subscriber to Marvel Unlimited Plus. Some members that attended were in costume and were cheering loudly.
Here's some shots from the event. (Click to enlarge).
This isn't the first time members have gained exclusive access. During New York Comic Con, Marvel held another private event at the Avengers S.T.A.T.I.O.N. in Times Square with 20% of the attendees being Marvel Unlimited Plus members. This is where the big SECRET WARS by Jonathan Hickman announcement was made. Besides an open bar and snacks, attendees also got to check out what the Avengers S.T.A.T.I.O.N. was all about. At conventions, there's usually a private panel with Marvel's top creators where exclusive news and imagery is shown.
