For your circumstances yes it 100% value as like you say you’d save the extra in travel over the course of a season .There is one reason the Ardwick has value - away tickets. Every away game to me involves a flight or very long train journey (as indeed does every home game!!). Knowing as soon as the fixtures are out I will get tickets means I can plan travel with immediacy. The “extra” cost of the season ticket is offset by far cheaper away travel. The actual “experience” of the Ardwick is probably worth £20 a game tops
