Rugby World Cup in Australia 2027

Yes I know that it is still just under a year away yet here we are already seeing price gouging...or is it market demands ...on flights and hotels. Looked at Melbourne first week of October and don't except much for 3 nights under 1,600 dollars. The usual IHG and Accor properties don't seem to be all listed yet as available. Same goes with Brisbane.

Yep, just had a look at QF flights BNE-ADL in the first weekend of October 2027 and it's $500+ one way. Cheapest flight is actually business class at 6am on the Saturday morning - $10 cheaper than economy.

Yeah I'm looking at flights from PER-MEL and PER-BNE. Wondering if it's cheaper going via Bali!

AFL grand final is 2nd October which is why fights are expensive. Dockers fans are getting in earlier for another season of wharfie time disappointment. Seriously, I know folks who have booked flights for the GF.

Yikes...AFL final and France and Scotland at the rugby over that weekend. That's quite drastic for the city to cope with... sounds like rubbish planning.

AFL season got pushed out due to the 150th anniversary test at the MCG in March.
