I've heard differently than some of the glowing reports portrayed in this thread. I'll preface my comments by saying that I most certainly doubt they'll ever be up for relocation. That said, it is my understanding that a number of their season tickets this year were sold at only 50% down, balance due if they made the playoffs, a sort of a guaranteed win promo. Well, they aren't making the playoffs and from what I've heard the Blues are taking a bath in part due this promotion.

The reported number of tickets sold in that promo was less than 1000, and most people believe the number is more realistically 400 to 600.
Also, these were seats that were offered much later in the process and more than likely would not have been sold to season ticket holders with out this promotion.
On the other hand, the blues have announced sell outs of 19k + for every game this season. Where those ticket sales are really at and how many they sold or gave away to brokers might be a more relivent question.
