Survey and Incident closure

Why does using Surveys to close tickets not a good idea and does this practice play against ITIL principles?

Answer:
Getting users' feedback once incident is resolved is not against ITIL principles. Quite contrary, incident should be in status resolved until customer confirms the resolution. Or, as practice has shown, until certain amount of time (e.g. 3 days). I had a project where we use to call user to confirm incident resolution, so surveying users is OK if that's the preferred way. Some tools have that functionality integrated, so you can use that too.
