Eurostar tickets Paris ->London

I was just wondering if someone had advice on the cheapest way to get chunnel tickets? I was looking around raileurope.com/canada but I was wondering if there is a perhaps another 3rd party ticket seller that people here had had a good experience with.





Thanks!

AFAIK, there is no such thing as budget tickets for the Eurostar.





The cheapest prices tend to be the offical ones.

I agree w/ the previous post. I%26#39;ve always just bought the tickets the day of from the originating city. They never sell out. (By the way, it%26#39;s the longest passenger train in the world, I think.)

Some official offers at eurostar.com/dynamic/_SvBoExpressBookingTerm… (eurostar official web)

Tickets from a third party will likely cost more than buying directly from Eurostar. If you go to www.eurostar.com, you get to select your country of residence (sigh, choose USA for Canada); ticket prices at that site are a bit cheaper than buying them at eurostar.co.uk.



If you%26#39;re starting your journey in London, pick up your tickets one or two day before you travel from Waterloo, since it%26#39;s busy at travel times, and much easier to just hand in your ticket than to wait in a queue.

Are you looking for one-way or a round-trip ticket? It may make a significant difference in the fare discounts you may be eligible for. Advance purchase usually allso qualifies you for a better fare. how up at the station on the day of departure to purchase your ticket and odds are you will pay FULL undiscounted FARE and may not be able to get a seat on the train you want to take for the Class you want to travel.





The advance purchase price of a EUROSTAR same-day, round-trip ticket from SNCF (which coincidently manages and operates the EUROSTAR ticketing %26amp; reservations system) is 70 Euros. The lowest fare for the same trains on Monday is 179 Euro. One-way is 223.50 Euro

BTW, you can choose too Canada as your country of residence at www.eurostar.com

Thanks everyone! I ended up purchasing 2 one-way tickets to London for $156 CAD on the North American site.

I was going to take the train, till I found out that I can fly for way less money. Check out www.easyjet.com One way for about $30 USD.
