Virgin Australia has added extra seats between Adelaide and Perth for this weekend’s AFL first semi final between Fremantle and Port Adelaide.

The added seats will give more Port Adelaide fans the opportunity to travel to the match following their team’s win over Richmond on Sunday.

Virgin Australia chief commercial officer Judith Crompton said: “As the official airline of the AFL we are committed to helping fans travel to interstate games throughout the 2014 Toyota AFL Finals Series.”

“Whilst tickets are selling fast, Virgin Australia continues to offer a range of fares across the weekend and into Monday which balance price and flexibility”, Crompton said.

Virgin Australia will continue to monitor customer demand through the finals series and add additional seats and flights where needed to assist AFL fans’ to watch and support their teams play.

Each year Virgin Australia carries the 18 AFL teams on more than 300 flights as well as providing tens of thousands of extra seats to fans.

In 2012 Virgin Australia launched “Any Game Anywhere”, the first program of its kind for a national sporting code in Australia.

Any Game Anywhere offers packages for AFL fans, a single site where fans can access airfares, accommodation, game tickets and local tourist attractions in any destination where AFL games are played.
