eurostar pricing

Is there any way to get discount on the eurostar or are prices totally fixed? Student discount/rail card or any other means? Buying tickets with ongoing train travel? Thanks

If you buy an interrail ticket I think you just pay £30 each way for the Eurostar.

IME the Eurostar is disproportionately expensive. It is possible to get a return ticket for £79, but in practice it is unlikely you will manage to get this price unless you book really, really early (before connecting trains are released) or you're really flexible about when you travel. It can be cheaper to buy a through ticket and you should be able to buy from your English station to your French station, but I've never managed this, the most I've managed is London-French station.

MissAmbrosia - do you know how you would show you have an interrail ticket on the eurostar to get a reduced price?
Thank you

Link above. I am normally quite good at finding good deals on European bookings so happy to try to help if you want to post or PM your dates and destinations

Thank you - we managed to book at a price we were happy with as no more than pre pandemic.
