    Just got comformation of next gears price for my ferry to TT 2013, 1 person with motorcycle 30th may- 8th june £236 with reserved seating both ways, cant wait again and I dont really think the price is too high.
    Though they must make a fortune over the fortnight..

    Yep got mine today £218 minus the seating and the price is too high plus not enough sailings in my opinion.

    Jeez, wait till you have to take a van or race truck over there, they dont even give you lube!

    as for the amount of sailings, they are flat out on both boats and bring in a 3rd ship for tt fortnight, thats all they are allowed to run!!

    €260 return for the bike from Dublin. Scandalous, and they have shifted the sailing times which means a 5 am departure from home instead of 10am and wont get home till midnight:(

    You can understand why they do it, lots of demand = higher price but still does not seem right. Same with kids holidays we get stung. Same they can't pit more boats on BUT even if they had 6 on I bet the price would not drop much

    To be fair I'd probably pay double if I had to.

    total rip off considering I can get a return sailing to France for less.
    no wonder so many smaller boats make a killing taking bikers over.
