Confusion with prices to travel from London VIC to Brighton BTN

Accepted answer

Southern mentioned on their ticket engine at around 40 minutes after you asked the question:

Advance Purchase tickets are temporarily unavailable due to a technical issue currently under investigation. We apologise for this and hope to restore the service as quickly as possible.

This means that no one is currently able to by advance fare tickets on Southern. These include the Β£17 and Β£10 one-way tickets you saw on National Rail website.

Since the system is unable to see any advance tickets being available, it automatically offered you the next cheapest tickets, which are the Β£57 off-peak return ticket for two.

Usually under such cases, you can try purchasing the advance tickets from another TOC (Train Operating Companies), for example Virgin Train as mentioned in one of the comments. Or you can always try later, though you risk that fare being sold out.
