Options to commute by train.

I am looking to commute from Ipswich to either Cambridge, Norwich, or London. While I was able to see the seasonal ticket option from Ipswich to London, I could not do the same with Cambridge and Norwich. It is said that there is no seasonal ticket available for these routes. Am I missing something? Is there another special offer/deal for these routes? I am looking for jobs and thinking of my options. I find the train ticket to be unbelievably expensive. And also, is the regular train ticket set to a specific time of departure or people can basically travel whenever they want? Thanks in advance!

Season tickets usually allow to you travel on any train on the relevent route, you do not have to stick to specific train times.

Thank you Greenie, but how about from Ipswich to Norwich/Cambridge? If it is unavailable according to the website, is that mean the only choice I have is to pay full price? I notice there are some offer such as friends& family, or youth/students that give 30% off, but they are only for off peak hour, so not applicable to me.
