>>4413202it's not like they have a choice. Having it on a non-public holiday weekend, as lame as that is, will still profit more than having it on the same weekend as the Rugby World Cup. Think about it, Auckland is already pretty much fully booked that weekend for accomodation. This is going to be one of the biggest (if not THE biggest) events NZ has ever held. Traffic will be nuts, including public transport. Good luck getting to Armageddon that morning on time. Plus, not everyone that attends Armageddon hates rugby like it seems most cosplayers do. Some people will want to attend both, and anyone into rugby will most likely pick the world cup that could be a once in a life time opportunity over a con that happens every year.
world cup > anime con
sorry guys, deal with it.
