You can get 2 x tickets for £90 to Paris, traveling between 10 November and 28 February, providing you collect three passwords from The Times/Sunday Times newspaper between the 17 October and 25 October.

But my question is: does this mean you have to buy it every day between those two dates? Or buy it once, and all three passwords are printed daily?

I'm confused. I'm off to buy The Times. But, hmmm.

I think they print a different password each day and you need to get three, so you need to buy the paper three times in the qualifying period

Passwords aside as they're sorted now, I bought the papers and Ben kindly emailed me a couple as well so got more than I bargained for.

Trouble is there are no flipping tickets left now for when we want to go. Blooming typical. To say I'm frustrated and angry, partly at myself for not booking earlier when I saw the offer and saw that the prices were low, and available, is an understatement. I was really looking forward to Paris Photo, a photography exhibition which is on there at the same time my friend and I were looking to go.

New batches of tickets are released daily so I'll try again in the morning but I'm not getting my hopes up that the message "Sold Out" will be any different in less than 12 hours' time. £120 return for 2 people now is about £278 for other trains outside of the offer, far too expensive.

Rubbish.
