You should have booked it there and then - the £4 tickets have sold out is what has happened. And the £8 ones as well by the look of it

A £17.80 open return is the cheapest now on offer. That won't go up and you can buy it on the day.

How old are you? If you're under 26 get a Young Person's railcard. If any of the group are under 16 you qualify for a Family Railcard.

Investigate the possibility of 'GroupSave' tickets (ask at your local station): many train companies allow four people to travel for the price of two but I'm not sure if yours is one of them.
