If you have a Network Railcard there is an off-peak day return available
for around £11.00, failing that you might be able to get single AP tix
for booked trains from £3.75 each way, but these can be very restrictive.


Ho would I be able to do that in this case, should I need to return to
Brighton?


I don't understand that question.

You can buy Advance Purchase (AP) tickets from £3.75 each way which are
restricted to the booked train for each ticket. If you can't find an AP
ticket for Brighton at the time/price you want to travel (the allocations
frequently sell out) you may have better luck with a train to/from Hove
(where the allocations rarely sell out), this might be as/more convenient
for you depending on the purpose of your visit.

It's all on the Southern web site but you may need to register (free) to get
the best deals.


There's no need to register to check for the best deals - all the
regular tickets (including Advance tickets) are shown on the booking
engine to any user who goes there to look for them - meanwhile info
about the DaySave and Downlander tickets are also freely available.

If someone wants to actually purchase a regular ticket then they'll
need to register as part of the transaction - however if someone wants
to buy DavSave or Downlander tickets then they need to register first.

Good tip about Hove too.
