Speedferries are increasing their prices soon, so until September 6th are selling off a last 10,000 tickets at the old price of £25 each way. They are called 'SuperTickets' which means they can be ammended and/or dates changed for £10.

Just bought ours for weekend of 10/11 June, so even if Le Mans switches to the following week we still get the cheap price.

And no, I'm not affiliated with them in any way, just love their business model of sticking two fingers up at the rip-off Ferry companies.

Was looking at this yesterday as got the email from them with the offer. However be aware that the amendment is still obvioulsly subject to them having availability on the date you require, am considering booking both weekends up with them at this price to cover myself (still far cheaper at £100 than a return with most other carriers) and I can then always amend the one that will not get used to later in the year with the family.

They only sail from Dover so if you are SW then yes it may well be quite a hike for you depending on how west you are - had a look at P&O, Brittany Ferries etc and no they are not yet booking for next year but these folk are and at a great price.

I got that email too and was tempted to book straight away but how much is it likely to go up by?
I don't know how many people are going, how many cars or anything yet so is it worth booking then trying to flog them closer to the event?

Cheers for that
The main prob is our cars only have a 100 mile tank and it easy to get less than 20MPG on the road. And it will be quicker for us (Bristol,chedder) to go down to portsmouth and over to cean. I know its not as cheap on the farrys but it will have time.

I've booked. Read the T&C carefully and you'll see that if you book on the 25th of December you get to transfer for free, instead of the usual £10. Bonus!
