I think it just depends what site you look at. I was on http://ch.voyages-sncf.com/en/ and it was showing as this:

Just looked it up, there's about a train per hour, sometimes two, but you will have to change trains once in Visp, there is no direct route.

25 francs from Geneva to Bern is only if you have the Swiss rail card (50% off), which I'm guessing most of you won't!
50 francs is standard single price, with no reductions.

The 25 francs price you are seeing is with something called a Halbtax, which is only available to Swiss residents. A 2nd class ticket from Geneva to Bern is 50 CHF one way, 100 return, which works out to about 70£, you were unfortunately right the first time you calculated. Like everything here in Switzerland, the trains are also expensive.
Edit: Macst beat me to it

Sadly not...100 francs...£66 return.
Chf 118 return from Geneva airport to Bern Wankdorf, standard daily price on the SBB app. About £80- including the Bern city transport ticket (needed to get from City centre to stadium). The prices go up each new year but its not the UK so only a couple of Chuffs more
The trains are usually fine if you don't travel at peak periods (same as UK), so avoid 0730-0930 and 1630 to 1900.
You can easy add a seat reservation if you book via the SBB website.
You might be better off looking at seeing if you can find discounted tickets somewhere like the sncf or DB site but SBB usually has the cheapest for their own routes and everyone else adds a commission. There are under 25 or senior prices available. Based on daily demand forecast, SBB does SuperSaver tickets - the earlier you book, the cheaper it is : info from here
http://www.sbb.ch/en/travelcards-and-tickets/tickets-for-switzerland/supersaver-tickets.html
at the moment, you can only book from 1 Jan for travel in mid Feb but it may give you a cheaper ticket (up to 50%) than standard ticket if you book it in early Jan. Their app is pretty good too (app stores) - timetable and tickets online. All swiss public transport is integrated and you can buy it all via the app.

Anyone have any rough idea of the average price of a pint in Bern? Could see that easily being the biggest expense over the trip.

Who's that flying with? To and from Gatwick? Sounds like a bargain!!
