As far as I'm aware, there was no questionnaire given out. I'm not sure whether name and addresses were taken but I doubt it.
The market research justification for this is frankly laughable b*llocks. |
It's a strange one and tickets are still on sale and they're sending out emails telling people,weird. |  |

It's quite obvious the 'questionnaire' justification was an afterthought to try and limit the damage; it's not convincing anybody.
Noticed this story was front-page headline in the EP which was rather silly. Even more silly was the line they were taking which was that this issue 'divided the fans'. Yeah right, divided into the following two camps:
1 - I think this issue has been handled terribly
2 - I think this issue has been handled extremely terribly. |  |

You were named in the paper itself, at least your username was. Although they seemed to have removed the names from the online version of the story. |  |

The Supporters Director should be on the websites explaining the rationale behind this bollocks!
Amazing! here I am a supporter since 1974 and not one email to encourage me to get tickets for Valencia NOT ONE but others to encourage the database have been given buck shee tkts.
The Board best wake up and realise that the cash cow approach is no longer viable get the **** real and quickly |  |

There was no questionnaire handed out.
Been told today the reason none was handed out was that the time to distribute the tickets had arrived, but the DVLA sport and social club hadn't been given the forms by Swansea. |  |

To be honest I don't think it would have been practical anyway. The queue was so long when I saw it, if they'd started asking people to fill in forms before they gave them the tickets the people at the back would have been there all day. I doubt there ever were any forms. | |

I wonder if those at the back were disgruntled at not receiving their tickets?
Were they getting paid whilst queuing? |  |

this has really fkd me right off in so many ways. the act of giving these tickets to civil servants is quite frankly laughable, when regulars have tipped up £80 for their ticket package, if they missed the original sale deadline by being on hols. in my experience , giving someone something they dont necessarily want, will usually see it not valued, and many who get them wont be rsed , so expect lots of empty seats. if they are to be given away, give them to those who will want or deserve them . why even consider expanding the ground when we have to give tickets away against valencia. |  |

I've no idea who was gruntled or otherwise.
Tickets were collected on the collecter's own time. So no. | |

If they'd arrived in time, they'd probably ( I assume ) just handed the forms out for the recipient to send back? | |

A complete fiasco that has now been compounded by spinning it as part of an improbable marketing strategy. Far better if whoever was responsible, had apologised for a decision that had been made with the best of possible intentions. I think that most people would have respected that. |  |

In the interest of market research for the club
Stick us down for a number 2.
Or what the club have treated the fans like.
Hate to disagree with whoever said we were Barry Town off the pitch.
I didn't think we were that high up the leagues |  |

Personally I believe it would be rectified if season ticket holders that bought the three game package were given a free game. | |

I agree
Anyone who bought 3 game package gets next Europa league game free (if we qualify) not FA cup tickets |  | | |

Just seems an easy way of the club being able to right a wrong Phil.
What do you suggest ? | | | |

Were only ST holders able to get 3 game package ? Thought it was available for JA members too. | | | |

The system will tell you who bought 2 or 3 tickets. Irrespective of this the 3 game package was pricey and I bet people chose to pick and choose games. | | | |

Does anyone really care if the club gives some tickets away, i don't and I am a season ticket holder and bought the 3 game euro package for £60. The club has to have some artistic licence. |  |
