This one’s just for our Aussie readers — Hypable is giving away tickets to Oz Comic-Con, with five double passes each for Sydney and Brisbane.
Are you Australian? Did you spend last month pining over our Comic-Con coverage? Fear not. We can’t take you all with us to San Diego, but we CAN give some of our Aussie readers the next best thing — a chance to unleash your inner geek at Oz Comic-Con, one of the best homegrown multi-fandom conventions ever.
Oz Comic-Con will be held in Sydney on September 10 and 11 at the Sydney Exhibition Centre at Glebe Island, and in Brisbane on September 17 and 18 at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre. As a treat for our Australian audience — we know you’re out there — Hypable has partnered with Oz Comic-Con to give away a whole bunch of weekend passes!
Special guests appearing at this Oz Comic-Con season include Star Trek’s Karl Urban, our beloved Bones, who’s currently in town filming Thor: Ragnarok, Battlestar Galactica badass Katee Sackhoff, the troublesome Teen Wolf twins Max and Charlie Carver, Leverage’s long-haired “retrieval specialist” Christian Kane, Harry Potter’s Devon “Seamus Finnegan” Murray, and Aaron Ashmore of new break-out hit Killjoys. They’re also joined by Daniel Portman and Keisha Castle-Hughes – a squire and a Sand Snake from Game of Thrones, and Freddy Krueger himself, Robert Englund.
Aside from the celebrity guests, Oz Comic-Con offers everything you could want from a pop culture expo — tons of retailers to stock up on merch, artwork and collectibles, an Artists Alley featuring world-renowned comics creators, a huge cosplay presence including the Australian Championships of Cosplay, a manga library and anime screening room, and the Oz Comic-Con Fashion Show, where geek designers can showcase their talents.
Tickets and information about Oz Comic-Con can be found here. Also, kids under 12 are free when a general admission ticket is purchased!
