Eurostar does indeed offer a fixed £59 (€74) return fare for the connecting service from Ashford to Brussels via Lille. This fare can be purchased either from Eurostar’s UK Contact Centre or from Ashford International station.
I’m sorry that that you were unable to purchase an equivalent €80 return at Brussels South Station. We are working hard with our Belgian partners SNCB/NMBS to sort out some ticket distribution problems so that Eurostar can begin selling the €80 tickets in Belgium.
In the meantime, we would advise Belgium-based passengers wishing to travel from Brussels to Ashford via Lille to call our UK Contact Centre on +44 (0)1233 617575 to buy a ticket. They will be charged £59 rather than €80, which in the case of Belgian credit card holders will then be converted at the prevailing sterling to euro exchange rate. Tickets can either be collected from Brussels South Station, which we recommend, or, if there is sufficient time before the date of travel, they can be sent by post.
