Surveys & Feedback
What are surveys?
Section titled “What are surveys?”Surveys let you ask fans and buyers structured questions after (or before) a game. Stadli collects responses and provides basic analysis including sentiment scoring, keyword extraction, and AI-generated summaries.
Common uses:
- Post-game experience survey (“How was tonight?”)
- Food and beverage satisfaction
- Season ticket renewal intent
- New product or pricing research
Creating a survey
Section titled “Creating a survey”Path: Admin > Surveys > New Survey
- Click New Survey.
- Enter a Survey Name (internal) and a Survey Title (buyer-facing).
- Add questions:
- Multiple choice — buyer selects one option from a list you define
- Short text — open-ended text input
- Rating — numeric scale (typically 1–5 or 1–10)
- For each question, set whether it’s Required (must be answered to submit) or Optional.
- Connect to an event — optionally link this survey to a specific game so responses are attributed to that event.
- Click Save as Draft or Publish.
AI question generation: Click Generate Questions with AI and describe what you want to learn. Stadli suggests questions you can edit and add.

What could go wrong
Section titled “What could go wrong”- “Survey response count is low” — Check delivery rate. If emails bounced, the segment’s contact list may have stale addresses.
- “AI summary isn’t generating” — Click Generate Summary again. If it continues to fail, summarize manually from the keyword list.
- “A response is marked Negative but seems neutral” — Sentiment tagging is automated and not always accurate. Use it as a signal, not a definitive classification.
- “Survey is showing to buyers before the game” — Check the survey’s publish status and the scheduled send time. A Published survey can only be accessed by buyers who have the direct survey link — it doesn’t appear on the storefront automatically.
