A brief statement put out by Blues on their ticketing channels this morning said: \u201cPlease note that, due to overwhelming demand, season tickets will not go on general sale.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">\u201cWe advise not coming to the stadium or contacting the ticket office.Thank you for your continued support.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Blues were backed by an average crowd of 26,326 in League One fixtures at St Andrew\u2019s last season \u2013 a number which would have put them inside the Championship\u2019s top seven last term \u2013 and that is now likely to increase.<\/p>\n<p>Did you manage to get a season ticket?
