You can TRY, but most comic Con TV and Movie guests charge at least $20 per autograph, but if you are only asking for one, send a little money with it. It's a gamble either way. {up}

with the GoT cast you'd be better off trying them VV at the GoT filming locations.

Smaller conventions may pass along or fulfill your request but I highly doubt you'd see anything back from SDCC.

As you said. But might I point out, that Melbourne is a 3M person city. Hardly tiny. The request, as I said, was quite some time ago, around the time of the original Star Wars trilogy re-release, in anticipation of the prequels. Star Wars was a bit hotter back then, regaining its popularity. And mine wasn't a paid request. As I said, it can happen. Unlikely. But did me no harm and I had no expectation of a success. In fact, I can't even recall if I requested autographs, I might have only written to express my lament that I couldn't attend because of exams. Just reporting my "successful" experience.

You'd think, logically, that all of those replies are correct. Free autographs mailing to a convention when everyone else pays to attend and then pays for autographs?

But many years ago I wrote to the Star Wars Force II convention organisers in Melbourne. I wanted to attend but I had exams at the time. A couple of weeks after the convention I got a parcel back with goodies from the convention plus a program signed by guests: Kenny Baker, Jeremy Bulloch, Steve Sansweet & a comic book illustrator, whose name escapes me. Lucky I'd assume, but it can happen.

Thank you very much for your replies. I guess I'll just suck it up and send my requests overseas to the more permanent addresses.

Not sure it would work either, but I could be wrong. The guests will surely be too busy to reply to fanmail :s I've never been to a convention so far but as you have to pay to get autographs there, they would probably refuse to sign mail stuff for free. I don't know though, this is just an idea. Good luck if you decide to try :) the GOT cast are very nice people!

First off, I'm fairly new to posting to this website, and I've never used the VV portion. I apologize in advance if this is the incorrect spot. Admin, please redirect this to the appropriate place if needed.

Anyway, I just saw the list of Game of Thrones actors who will be part of the GOT panel at the 2015 comic con. I never used VV, but I would love to get almost any GOT cast member. Since I live in the USA and nearly all cast members are in the UK or elsewhere in Europe, this is really an attractive option for me to try and get a few successes without having to pay for international postage.

Has anyone used this route before? (yes, I tried searching but couldn't get a clear result--esp for GOT actors)

Thanks and sorry again if this needed to be moved
