Auckland Armageddon on track to be 'one of their best' as thousands flock
The country's biggest pop culture extravaganza Armageddon starts in Auckland today.
Around 50 thousand sci-fi, anime, fantasy, and gaming fans are expected to flock to Auckland Showgrounds this weekend.
It's filled with more than 400 exhibitors, including a reunion of the Supernatural cast, a High School Musical sing-along panel, and international guests like Highlander star Christopher Lambert.
Organiser Bill Geradts told Francesca Rudkin they're not feeling the pinch from the cost of living crisis in the same way festivals and retail are.
He says last year's October show was one of their best, and this year's tracking to be about the same.
