The ACO have already given the dates for the 2013 24 Hours is the 80th 90th year so a special one 15th-16th June. (pressed the wrong key lol).

It was the 80th race this year and next year is 90 years since it started but you are correct, its the 15th and 16th

Good price or are we too early for discounts?

[Barry]

Definitely not good prices, just got a quote for the same journey i did this year, and they wanted £125 more.
Back to the eastern crossing and the drive down I think.
Looking into it in more detail, the price hike seems to be on the Portsmouth/St Malo leg of the journey.

Eurotunnel booked, £5 dearer than last year!
Monday afternoon Calais returns already sold out!

[landman]

Paid £403 for 3 of us Pompey/Cherbourg out & Caen/Pompey back this year.  Just in reserved seats.

That's £134.33 each.

Quote for next year using the same route the 3 of us works out at £323

That's £107.67 each.

They release more tickets as the year goes on. Same happened last year but we had no problem booking a mid afternoon crossing in April.

No flies on you, are there? 

The dates have been in my diary for some weeks.
Definitely no business travel at that time, although I may have to slow down the new house build so we're not moving then! 

[nopanic - neil]

Checked with LD Lines, they are not taking bookings for 2013 till November

Hope their prices are not to high

[Ian (Liverpool Boys)]

Neil,

            You can afford it . Pay the extra and go with a proper ferry company.

This years experiences made up our minds no more LD  for us

So, its a sh!t ferry, but it passed all the tests.  The beer was cold, and it didn't sink.

You now have the option of MyFerryLink (formerly SeaFrance) from Dover, so prices should go down.  I may go from Dover next year, just for a change.  And the old Le Havre boat, Norman Spirit, may go back to Portsmouth, as the extra trade on the Dunkirk route will probably go back to SeaFrance.  Sounds like there could be a price war to me
