I'm not WUMing. I've been told by two different people that season ticket renewals/sales are 'slow' this year. I don't know why it's a surprise to anyone. We've had an uninspiring season and 10,000 fans have not materialised out of the woodwork.
The 'demand bubble' everyone is referring to is for the cheap seats, which sold out very quickly. There will be season tickets for anyone who wants them, and more. City aren't going to turn away tied-in customers. I'm anticipating creative pricing structures later in the summer to try to capitalise on that demand for cheap seats. But that's not going to happen until as many as possible have bought at full price.
I don't think they are that bothered, they certainly didn't make any effort to accommodate a first time season ticket aged 6 to sit with us, where there were loads of seats and would have impacted on nobody, they maintained that the 6 year old would get to buy when the appropriate time came on the waiting list (which I understand), the problem is, the seats have now been filled, and to move everyone in our group again would cost too much, so we shall be getting a refund on the deposit, so that's one sale they have lost, rightly or wrongly. (not judging, just the way it is.)
