    Tesco Clubcard deals any use?

    But others on this board have said "beware, you need to purchase full price tickets with them".

    See this thread.
  • Thanks for the reply, but I understand you need to book 2 wks in advance to use them and the web links states they will not accept them on line.

    Is it for a day trip or period return?
    Sometimes you can get reduced ferry fares if you book the ferry through your accomodation.
    Failing that, Wightlink do a crossing around midnight, called the Dream Ticket that costs £18 for a car & driver and £2 per passenger (each way) but these do have limited availabilty.
  • I am going for 3 days mon - thu, have to get ferry during the day due to distance and children. Thanks for advice, all gratefully recieved.
  • hi as an ex iow local... this time of year no discounts really.. pick up the county press for any offers usually have offers there. one tip fill up your petrol on the mainland, the prices on the ferry are a rip off and if in freshwater try the vine pub

    They're not if you want to go from Lymington. :D
  • You could look at buying two day return tickets. This is sometimes cheaper than a period return. The ferry companies don't like it but they rarely seem to check.
