Saints and Swans top the score board in NZ

Auckland – 18 April 2013: Wellington Hotels are filling up fast as St Kilda Saints and Sydney Swans fans will emerge on NZ turf for the first AFL match ever played outside Australia, according to leading online travel website Wotif.co.nz.

Wotif Product Director Donna Rodios said that Wotif.co.nz bookings for the event on 25 April have hit a record amount.

“We’re seeing an outstanding number of bookings on Wotif.co.nz for match night, with double the usual number of bookings on any other day of the week,” Ms Rodios said.

“It’s almost triple the booking numbers we had on ANZAC day last year.”

“We know that Saints and Swans fans are passionate about the game so it’s not surprising that Aussie fans are crossing the ditch to go to the match,” Ms Rodios said.

“Hosting the game outside Australia is a good excuse for fans to make a holiday out of it. We’ve still got some great deals left on Wotif.co.nz, but you really need to get in quick if you want a room.”
