And it's dropped. Balance for TT 2025 ferry. Total price is just £2 short of the £500 mark. £498 for us two and one bike. With the £80 deposit paid in May and a £9 web discount that leaves £409 to pay  |

"All booked and paid for
360 quid with a camper van ain’t too bad.
Cheaper than just a bike last year
Can’t wait. Now looking for pitch "
That's not bad considering we are paying £480 for bike, rider and pillion |

"Looks at the prices for the ferry decided against it
Next year I may save and go on one of the yacht charters from largs
Or find myself a captain lol "
It's not cheap, like everything that is popular in this world. You have to pay a lot to go to the best road racing in the world. We pay all that for the ferry and hardly see any racing. We wouldn't want to be anywhere else during TT though, its one hell of an atmosphere |

Where do you get £1300 from, £480 return for us 2 and a bike and I think £150 return for a single foot passenger. To be honest I think going 2 weeks inclusive to turkey on a Hairyplane like sheep would be torture. TT with thousands of bikes thundering past every day is our heaven |

Just checking now as I couldn't believe £1300. Sail Wed practice week and return Fri 6th with a bike £350 or foot passenger £140. Someone is giving you false info. |

Plus 1st Monday in March @ 8.30am all the bookings that weren't paid by end of February go back on sale, always a good time to book as at the moment you only get the odd thing crop up as folk cancel so it always hit and miss at the moment. Something on sale now can be gone in 5 mins. We always book when the following year's sailings go on sale in May before we've even been to this year's. Never failed to get booked, takes some time refreshing page though. Last year they did things a bit different and put people in a queue which worked well |

"I can’t wait! Hopefully the weathers warm too!
Any recommendations for places to visit for evening entertainment? Local pubs? Places you wouldn’t normally hear about unless you know of it "
Quids inn is the cheapest bar on the island so check that out. Jaks is good for food and drinks and has some great bands on throughout the week. Samuel webbs is always packed and a good craic. 1886 if you fancy a decent club vibe… plus it’s the go to place for the after party after the senior race… I was doing shots with the burchells, Hicky and Dunlop in there a couple of years ago |
