Quite possiblyThe only online form is to confirm renewal, even though most renewers are on direct debit and don't even need a form. Presumably they didn't want to make it easy to cancel or defer, and just ended up with a logjam on the phone lines as a result.
Eventually got through, 2.5 hours phone call in total - all the bloke on the other end had to do was tick an online box (no other questions), which I essentially also did on the deferral form this morning. 2 mins.
From what I could gather the queue hasn't been helped by some glitch whereby credit for tickets sold back for games isn't automatically coming off the next seasoncard bill, so people are having to manually chase that up as well. He did say that the queue all day has been 'over 100', which is better than 'over 1000' I suppose!

You should be able to do that by going into your account (assuming you haven't already renewed). That's what I did.that's what it was like for me and i couldn't wait all day not knowing where i was in the queue
all i want to do is inform them of a change of bank details for my direct debit

Given we have a former airline CEO in charge, I really don't understand why we don't adopt true dynamic pricing. You're paying for the privilege of being guaranteed a specific seat, at every home game (if you're on the cup schemes) and getting priority in access to other tickets (finals, away games) when you want. You should be paying a premium for that, not getting a discount.They can defer all they want, but I'll be really pissed off if the club sell PL match day tickets for less than S/T holders are paying for equivalent seats.
If we're playing someone like Watford on a rearranged Wednesday night game, we should be pricing tickets lower and lower if we've got lots of unsold seats nearer the day of the game.
Is the obvious flaw in that plan that fans will wait until the last minute to buy a ticket to save money...then when it gets to the day of the game it is inevitably raining and cold then they think they won't bother.Given we have a former airline CEO in charge, I really don't understand why we don't adopt true dynamic pricing.

Yep, In reality though I'd say less than 1% are seasoncard holders.If Bluemoon was the barometer, we would be looking at a max of 10k crowds next season.

So has the Club absolutely stated that if you defer you keep your seats?
anyone looking to ring the club - they are much more accessible via DM on twitter - i have a query sorted within a few hours. Just tweet them your issue and they will follow you and ask for supporter number etc.
Its much more public so they reply quicker :)

But a season ticket holder is also paying money up front with no guarantee of product quality.Given we have a former airline CEO in charge, I really don't understand why we don't adopt true dynamic pricing.

Obviously this is less of a gamble than in the past but the principle applies.
