Allie Alby - price of an Anytime Return from Gatwick to Victoria is £30.80, so £61.60 for the two of you.
It's not a route I travel at all frequently, so I'll happily bow to your knowledge!
I do get the impression from the National Rail website that there must be a very, very limited number of services that offer advance tickets though because only the Gatwick Express came up and that's been my experience in the past as well. For the OP's benefit, are there particular times of the day when advance tickets are available? If that's the case, if those times are no-where near the flight arrival, the discussion and options certainly narrow a bit!
