Writing via venue

Unread post by TheBrowling »

Hi everybody!
I've written in another ocasion to AC/DC but have had no response (maybe because the place where I wrote them doesn't pass fanmail, but I'm not sure).
I would like to try them again in Hampden Park (Glasgow) where they will be on the 30 of june. But I have some problems, here in Spain we don't have IRC's so what can I do? And another question, do you think I'm on time or did I have to do this earlier? I would be so glad to have Angus autograph... :roll:

Thanks for all! ;-)

What you could do is buy IRCs or English stamps with a member on here. I think you still have time but i would send a letter out in the next few days. I'm not sure exactly how long spain to glasgow takes.

I think you still have time - perhaps check with the venue first whether or not they pass on fan mail?

As for stamps/IRCs, I would just reccomend getting hold of a couple of £GBP. You'd only need to include a couple of pounds, but at least then stamps could be bought quickly, as if you were to buy some IRC/stamps online it might take a while for the transaction and you may miss the venue. Post offices will convert currencies for you.

Best of luck with your request! {thumb2}

Ok, thanks a lot. I will try to send a letter with a sase, a photo and some coins... should I also send a pen? maybe you think I'm stupid, but I'm just asking because I've seen in some videos of AC/DC writing autographs while waiting to start the concert, that when they open an envelope a pen comes out so that they can write.

Another thing, do you think I shoul try them in Glasgow or is it better to try them in north america? (they will begin another tour around north america when they finish their concerts in europe, and the last one is the one in Glasgow).

I would definitely send out the request to Hampden Park! Why? Money reasons ^^ I don't know how much sending mail to the States is in Spain but over here it's SO MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE than sending within Europe... I just sent a mail asking if they passed on fanmail and this was their reply:

Thank you for your e-mail. The address you have quoted is correct. We
will forward any mail received to the promoter who will forward to Take
That.


I sent a request to TT - obviously ;)

Here's the address:

Hampden Park Ltd
Hampden Park
Glasgow G42 9BA
UK

Good luck 8)

OH! Thank you very much for all the time you've spent! I really appreciate it :D ok, now I see that I have possibilities but the thing that makes me worry about is the thing of the sase and the stamps, because obviously I'm not on time to achieve british stamps and to send it... I will definitely send the sase with some pounds I have from my trip to London. Hope this works!

Thanks again! ;-)

PS: don't have to say that if I obtain it, I will post a photo here!

Just another thing :mrgreen: does it mean thath although my letter arrives some days after they've been there my letter will be sent to them? so that although I send it and it doesn't arrive on time to Hampden Park I still have possibilities?

Thanks! I've done everything and bought some stamps, tomorrow I will send it.
