slash

EUROSTAR is set to slash the price of tickets to as low as £35 – with five destinations included in the epic sale.

The iconic train service connects London directly to countries such as France, Belgium and The Netherlands and travellers will soon be able to secure bargain trips.

Providing an easier alternative to flying, the railway to Europe can whisk Brits to Paris in just over two hours and to Amsterdam in under four.

And as part of a major flash sale, passengers will be able to snag Eurostar tickets for as little as £35 to the two popular destinations – along with Lille, Rotterdam and Brussels.

The discounts, which went live on the Eurostar website on September 9, will be bookable until September 14 at 10:59pm.

The one way standard class tickets can be snapped up for rides on specific travel dates between September 23 and December 18.

The eligible travel timeframe means the discounts are perfect for planning a bargain trip over this year’s October half term break or a Christmas treat.

The autumn school holiday is set to begin around the second to last weekend of October, running through to the first weekend of November, providing the perfect slot for those with kids to book a discounted Euro getaway.

However, some dates within this window are subject to a “blackout”, during which discounted tickets aren’t up for grabs.

There are also some dates that travellers are unable to book, as Eurostar services are set to be halted for engineering works.

Unavailable dates include September 25, October 2, October 9 and November 1 for trains from St Pancras to Paris.

Meanwhile blackout dates for trains from Paris to London include September 27, October 5, October 25 and November 1.

Sharing news of the £35 sale online, Eurostar confirmed that a discount code isn’t needed to benefit from the price reductions.

The low prices are already live on eligible journeys and dates – so all you have to do is add the tickets to your basket.

“Down in the dumps at your desk? Grab a second helping of holiday with adult tickets for just £35 one way. Travel for less in Eurostar Standard to Paris, Lille, Brussels, Amsterdam direct, or Rotterdam direct,” the Eurostar website says.

“You don’t need a Eurostar promo code. Simply book to travel in Eurostar Standard from London between 23 September and 16 December 2026. But you’ll have to be quick – our sale ends on 14 September at 22:59.”

While Eurostar run similar flash sales throughout the year, the company has confirmed that a Black Friday sale won’t take place.

So now is the time to strike if you’re after cheap tickets for a December city break.

ORE Oduba has been served a fresh blow as he was forced to slash the ticket prices for his new show with Joanne Clifton.

Broadcaster Ore – who has been open about his financial troubles over recent months – met pro dancer Joanne back in 2016 after they were paired together on series 14 of Strictly Come Dancing.

They have remained good pals over the years and recently decided to go on tour.

The Joanne and Ore – Champions Reignited tour will see the pair sing, dance and tell stories.

But, it seems fans aren’t too keen as they’ve been left with no choice but to flog remaining tickets for 75% less than the original price.

Ore, 40, and Joanne’s tour was spotted on discount website Show Film First, which is used to sell-off tickets at a cheaper price.

Event organisers and theatre producers strive to have all seats to be filled for shows, so when venues aren’t selling-out they often allocate unsold tickets to seat-filling agencies like Show Film First.

Tickets to their show have been slashed from £59 to just £15.

Before discounts, the lowest-priced tickets at their original price were £25 for students with a valid ID.

The advert on the site flogging tickets to Ore and Joanne’s upcoming show on Sunday has, at the time of writing been taken down.

They are set to take to the stage in Newcastle at the Tyne Theatre & Opera House.

On the venue’s website, fans can still get 2-for-1 tickets to the performance, which is just hours away.

This isn’t the first blow Strictly star Ore has suffered over the past few years as he announced he and Portia, 36, had ended their nine year marriage in October 2024.

Following their sad split Ore and Portia the put their family home on the market, which left their kids devastated.

The pair share a son, Roman, eight and four-year-old daughter Genie together.

Portia said on social media: “I told the children that we are selling the house.

“It’s hard, especially for Roman, to have these conversations. He’s really upset.”

Last November, Ore opened up on his porn addiction battle while speaking on the We Need to Talk podcast with Paul C Brunson.

He candidly said: “I was nine when I was introduced to pornography. That’s when my addiction started.”

Ore added: “While I wouldn’t say the addiction set in immediately, the intrigue started immediately and it didn’t take long for that intrigue to start running my mind over.

“It was the thing that was destroying my life from the inside out.

“But it was a thing I was running to from an early age as a response to the trauma.”

“Shame kept me silent for 30 years. It took me 30 years, two deaths, and a divorce to finally go: here’s what’s happening,” said Ore.

“The reason I felt like I needed to speak out on this, is because I wanted to guide my own children when it comes to it, when it comes to them seeing stuff that is going to be there.

“They’re going to come across it.”

Ore also admitted that he’d been struggling financially and his son was forced to leave his private school mid-term as a result.

The London-based TV and radio anchor shot to fame after fronting coverage for BBC Breakfast, Radio 5 Live, and major events like the 2014 Commonwealth Games and 2016 Rio Olympics.
