Diehard Collingwood fans are facing return flights in excess of $1,000 to make it to the Sydney Cricket Ground for the AFL preliminary final on Saturday, with many opting to brave overnight carpools down the Hume Highway instead.
Virgin Australia’s cheapest overnight return flight from Melbourne to Sydney was $1,178 to touch down in time for the game on Saturday afternoon, with some options blowing out just shy of $1,500.
