In this case I think you are stuck with your existing tickets.

But c'est la vie, it could be that the current price for the route you hold is considerably higher than the price you paid.

That's just a facet of airline ticket pricing (and many other things in life where you won't be able to get a refund just because the price has dropped).

"If you want to cancel your flight
If the booking is cancelled before the first flight, a cancellation fee of £300 per ticket applies. At any other time there are no refunds except for any government & airport taxes."
Yes, quite interesting this: the ex-EU A class fares have always (as far as I know- I bought my first only a couple of years ago!) been cancel-able for a fee (e.g. 300euros) but it is a relatively recent development that the ex-UK A bucket is now cancel-able for £300 as well as changeable. It sounds like you must have bought before the new rules were applied, 225SG.
