Many may not be aware of how SQ last year made money out of Australian football. An Adelaide team and a Perth team ended up in a semi-final together (may have been quarter, I take little interest) and rather than get into the spirit and put on extra flights, QF and VA jacked up the price of existing flights astronomically. There are no longer any bus services between the two cities (LCCs rendered them uneconomical) and the train exists for tourists and is booked out months in advance.
SQ ran a snap promotion of 100 tickets ADL-SIN-PER and return and undercut QF and VA's lowest price (wasn't hard to do). I'd say they made a tidy little sum filling up seats that would have otherwise sat empty.
