Yeah...via venue is probably the very best way to go. Thats what i'm trying to do now. I got tons of cd sleeves that i want to send out to bands that are on tour. Its really fun in a way! I don't know why, exactly. I sent out ones to Rush, Poison, and Tom Morello. Hope i get those back soon. And i'm working on this summer for Alice Cooper, Rod Stewart, Flogging Molly, and Def Leppard. Good luck!

When sending via venue there are more chances in getting an authentic autograph I suppose, but you have to counter in whether or not the production office/company will pass on fanmail to the respected actor/actress. If sending to a band or artist it depends on whether the venue passes fanmail to performers. We have a thread on venues that do or don't. Carmelo is right though when he says that there are celebs who might only sign via venue. Just remember to send a photo or index card when sending via venue as celebs aren't likely to have any with them to sign for you.

Some celebrities only sign through via-venue. So for those specific ones there is higher chances of getting a feedback through via-venue. Most music groups only signed through via-venue

When you send via venue do you have a better chance at receiving an authentic autograph back or do you have the same odds if you send it to their primary address? Thanks
