The Fremantle Dockers and the Brisbane Lions today gave away AFL tickets to an entire Virgin Blue flight to mark their first official game of the 2011 season and the AFL’s new partnership with Virgin Blue.

The Fremantle Dockers were travelling from Perth to Brisbane with Virgin Blue on DJ463 to compete the their Opening Round clash with the Lions  on Saturday at the Gabba. Each guest on the flight received a double pass to attend the game.

“We thought that it was a great way to celebrate the opening round of the 2011 AFL season and encourage people to come along and get into the spirit of the game,” said Fremantle captain Matthew Pavlich.

“We know that many of our fans travel to cities around Australia to support us at away games and we thought this would be a great bonus for Virgin Blue guests.”
