These youngsters might actually get an education then!... by showing how you can make it big.. while doing the right thing.. they won't take it in though.. 'it's just a game.. init' 'where is the food place'... 'excellent story..but football isn't a business is it'.. I can hear the students now.. bickering away with all their f*cking stupid comments.. while laying down.. shaking my f*cking head... 'This football lark is exspensive ain't it.. £20'.. wouldn't surprise me if he's studying to be an accountant or something similar.. I've heard some f*cking belters by them.. they're going into University too soon.. f*cking youngsters these days.. give me a job ffs. |  |

University students seem an odd bunch to target for new fans. An 18 year old interested in football is likely to already be a fan of another club and isn't likely to switch allegiance to the Swans. They might well come to a few games in the time they are here, but we are already selling out anyway.
It would be much more sensible to go for the schoolkids who could end up being longer term fans and will be the ones who will fill the larger capacity stadium in the future. |  | | |

Load of crap by the looks of it.
As said, university students entirely the wrong market. No dubt someone in the commercial department has thought "hmm, future disposable income", but seriously?
How manu uni students will remain in the locality after graduating? Some but not a massively high amount. Most will already support teams - and quite frankly anyone changing allegiance due to this offer is hardly a "fan" who will be there should things go wrong.
As stated, schools would have been a far bettr choice. |  |

"How manu uni students will remain in the locality after graduating"
Loads in Swansea. Used to take dozens of claims from ex-students who chose to stay in the area after finishing Uni every summer, and I was just one of five or six doing it. |  |

Swansea has one of the highest, if not the highest, 'staying on' rate of any University in the UK. So lots of these students may be around for the foreseeable future. |  |

I don't think this amounts to a lot but is another example of the growing links between the University and the Swans.
The main one, of course, being the Fairwood development. | |

Given that most games are a complete sell-out does this mean there will hardly any tickets at all going on general sale for the QPR game?
Initiatives like this are a good thing but wait until the up-grade when there are more seats available for crying out loud.  |  |

Given the fact that the QPR game is one week tonight and unlikely to be a sell out then this is one of the few games in a season where any incentives can actually be offered
Tickets have been on sale for several weeks I would imagine given the close proximity of the game |  | | |

There are far more 'stay at home' students across the UK due to the high cost of fees plus accommodation. A fair number of people also stay on in the area they study. I would guess somewhere between 30-50% of graduates will remain in the catchment area. Certainly I know of several Swansea graduates who are still in South Wales. I did my first degree in London and stayed there for a couple of years afterwards | |

If you're going to watch the film then you are already a Swans fan. From another perspective it's 'buy a match ticket for £20 and watch a film as well' - do students get any discounts normally and how does this compare? I don't know if this is a good or bad idea but it's good to see our marketing department trying different things. |  |

I don't know - look at our ex-WUM DYSS - he'd been turned Man U red through and through. So some might stick. Although yes, schools would be better - along with a better pricing policy for kids to attend league games (not cup, as these are often very well priced already). |  | | |

Or is there a block of tickets permanently set aside for promotions, sponsors etc...? | |

qpr is a tuesday night game so maybe it's not ideal for a promotion for schoolkids as they have school in the morning etc |  | | |

Very true. My wife is one of a number I know who attended Swansea Uni and decided (quite rightly) that this is a terrific place to live and work. |  |

I thought Swansea had the highest rate of stay home students? |  | | |

Aren't we building links with the University? I thought Fairwood was part of a joint venture as well?
Anyway, 2 quick points...
1. A large amount of students took up the offers for our Europa matches last season and I knew a few who come back for a match if they can.
2. If it means a full house against QPR then I am all for it. |  | | |

If we can sell out to Leicester when its on sky tv and the rugby is on we can sell out to QPR on a Tuesday night ----> easily. [Post edited 25 Nov 2014 14:31]
