The future of the loss-making show hangs in the balance, with the council debating on Thursday whether to continue its funding.
The council was on May 15 presented with a report which showed this year's show ran at a $516,000 loss. It ran at a $325,000 loss in 2013.
Councillor Tim Scandrett on Thursday said more information was needed before a decision could be made, and the matter would be discussed at a council meeting on 28 May.
The annual show moved from Auckland to Christchurch in 2007 at a cost to ratepayers of $3 million.
