I have a Eurotunnel booking for next Friday evening. It was £86 - so £85 in Tesco coupons and a cheque for £1. This was the lowest price crossing of the day at 20.50.
Being nosey as I am, I looked at the Eurotunnel website yesterday and noticed that there was an earlier crossing now availble at the same money, so I decided to look again today and probably amend the booking.
Cheapest price now - £118.
I know that ferries, planes, the Tunnel and so on, price according to demand, but this proves it really is the case. I only thought prices went up, not down!

They certainly know how to charge - the recent storms stopped ferries and with no change expected for a couple of days it left us no alternative other than to take the tunnel to get home - £155 any motorhome!

Interesting. Just checked ours for 13 August. Price the same as booked last month. Probably proves prices fluctulate with the market demand. Get to the beginning of August or threatened strike by P&O/SF/NL and the price will soar. Without thinking too deeply about it, I expect if all other services are running efficiently the price may reduce shortly before the due date to entice people to use the tunnel.
Perhaps the best thing to do is to be flexible. I believe if you turn up and sort of have to travel they have you over a barrel.
Any way I am happy with £73 for 7.20am shuttle thing in the middle of the high season. Tesco paid for £65 worth of it anyway!

Edit - just had another look on the Eurotunnel website, and the crossing I am on is now £181 one way.

I think you're quite brave to check prices after you've booked, because from what you say they might go down, not just up, and it'd be a downer if they went down.
Did I mention that in December wifey booked a Dover - Dunkerque return crossing for us in June on-line with Norfolkline for £14, as in fourteen pounds! Being 1.99m high and only 5.0m long probably helped (and the van's quite small too).

Tell us how much it cost when you get back from your holiday.
That price was clearly and obviously for a car, and you may well be asked for the balance when you turn up.
This business of travel tickets s me - and I don't use the term lightly.
Just look at the staggering difference between ordinary train tickets for the same route on the same train at the same time. It can vary by several hundred pounds
