Cheap Ibiza flights?

Hoping someone can help, I have a week booked off work over the bank holiday, so finish Friday 22nd August. I've love to get a cheap last minute trip to Ibiza (it's my birthday!) and have seen some cheap flights, but unfortunately I need to be back for the evening of Saturday 30th August, so limited a bit with dates. I can find cheap flights out there but not back, ideally I would want to fly to/from Liverpool or Manchester but am prepared to go to Blackpool, Birmingham etc - not too far away. I'm looking to go to be there for a club night on the Thursday night, and would be looking at 2 nights minimum. I could probably finish work a few days earlier if it would assist, but am really struggling to find a cheap flint back - they are looking quite expensive. Budget would be about £70 per person (2 of us) for return flights. Would be grateful if anyone can assist please? Thanks!!

    Trouble is that's the last week of school holidays so a lot if families will be wanting to travel back so the kids are ready for school. Therefore demand, and prices are high.

    The cheapest return flights appear to be:

    29th into Manchester @ £87
    30th into Birmingham @ £79

    Thanks, that's looking too expensive though - I've seen returns for £50 a week later so was hoping for something nearer that price.

    Supply and demand. You are looking to fly back from one of the party capitals of Europe after a bank holiday. Of course a week later is going to be cheaper.

    Sounds like an unrealistic budget given your travelling peak time and have fairly restricted dates.
