Ferry rip-offs

[V6GTO]

I've just been looking for ferry prices. Brittany Ferries quoted:- Thursday out - Monday back - Potrsmouth/Cean...£463. Same trip going out 5 days earlier and returning 4 days later.... £250. Rip-off or what?

Try the Eurotunnel on a "5 day trip", I know it's Folkstone-Calais but a lot cheaper... I just plugged in "outward Thurs - return Mon" and it gave me £137.70 (including 10% for being a member).

The drive from Calais is always very entertaining on the Thurs morning!!!

Been looking since christmas myself and have bulked at the prices, I can't bring myself to pay it, tight get I know, but payed £135 last year for the Portsmouth crossing, this year it starts at around £260 .
However I will have to cough up soon overwise my entry and camping tickets will go to waste .

We booked ferry on 27/06/03 still getting ripped off £311 for tvr with 2 people £405 for M3 & Scooby with 3 people each and £435 for Sprinter van with 3 People Crossing Thursday returning Sunday Night , So booking early does not work either !

Harry, thought you were going with TVRCC this year?

Or do they just deal with the race tickets/camping?

Wow I got Portsmouth Caen out Tuesday, back Sunday with Commodore cabins each way for 350 ish it must be getting full

[V6GTO]

Sod it! I've decided to make a meal of it so I'm going Portsmouth/St Malo from Tuesday to Wednesday for £208.

[DustyC]

Harry, we are all booked out at the moment but if anyone pulls out I'll be posting the tickets on the LM forum.

If a "ferry only" opportunity arises I will let you know.

These tickets will go fast due to the price so keep your eyes peeled!

guys, 5 of you get together. 1 person buys a season ticket with P&O.

this costs £110 per car plus any cabins. this is for Portsmouth to LeHabvre, Caen or Cherbourg.

the beauty is under the t&c's of the season ticket you can allocate up to 5 of the tickets to friends or family.....guess you can see where this is going.

Anyway I did it and it worked......

check the P&O web site

I MIGHT HAVE 1 EXTRA CROSSING LEFT IF ANYBODY WANTS IT
