I have also found that if you won't be travelling so much that you need a rail pass, then it is cheaper to book your tickets online, at least two or three weeks ahead of the trip. Go tothink you can get anything similar here. If the trip to Brum (local name!) is the only rail travel you plan, then you can buy (at the station on the day) a "Saver Return" ticket which will cost you 36.50 (GBP) each. Sometimes "Cheap Day Return" tickets are available, but nothing has shown up as available on the website.

I'm not sure what day the fair is (being in Chicago makes it moderately irrelevant!) but a day return (i.e. there and back in one day) ticket on 5th December is showing up as 20.10GBP at present.
