Sending Via-Venue - How do I start?

Unread post by BandSlam.96 »

Okay, I didn't really know where to start this thread so I put it under "Collecting Help". I am unsure of how to send Via Venue and want to find out everything there is to know about sending requests.

So I want to send an autograph request to Lea Michele (Rachel from Glee) when she visits the Australian Idol studio in a few weeks. I live in Australia so it is easier for me to send.

How do I start?
I have 2 pictures that I would like to be signed so I've printed them off...
Do I need an A4 envelope? + another A4 SASE?
And how do I write the address?

The address for the studios is:

Australian Idol
c/o Fox Studios
Building 16
38 Driver Ave
Moore Park, NSW 2021
Australia


Now where do I send it? I mean instead of "Australian Idol" do I put the celebrity's name or what?


Thanks in advance,

Please reply ASAP becuase I have to get this in the mail by Tuesday (September 15th, 2009.)

Hi BandSlam.96!
How are you? :)
I'll try to help you as much as I can. Well, about envelopes. You need 2 of them. One is an envelope with your name and address on it and the another one is the one where celebrity's address is written (in this case VV for American Idol).
In the envelope with the American Idol address, you put the stamped envelope with your address (SASE), photos and letter.
Address is written like this:
Lea Michele
Australian Idol
c/o Fox Studios
Building 16
38 Driver Ave
Moore Park, NSW 2021
Australia

I hope this helps you a little bit. If you still don't understand anything, feel free to tell me {thumb2}
Good luck!

Also, to add, if you know the date she is appearing you can write "Please hold for Lea Michele on xxxxx". Send it out so it'll arrive a few days in advance of the event :) Good luck!

Okay, but where abouts do I put it? On the envelope? On the back of the envelope?

Thanks,

You can put it in the back on the envelope but I usually put it at the front of it ;)

The front would be best, so that they see it. Somewhere below the address (best to leave a gap as it's not part of the address itself) :)
