Sending a request via venue

[Mama2Benji]

Hi all, I am new here, and first must say that this is a GREAT forum!!!!

I want to send an autograph request via-venue to someone, I know he is on tour right now and will be for most the rest of the year. My question is, when you send via-venue to a singer on a tour, how far in advance should you send it? I want to make sure that it gets to him, but doesn't miss him.

Thanks in advance!!!!

Hi Mama2Benji

Welcome to Fanmail.biz

You want to try to get your request to arrive no more than about 3 days before the celeb is due at the venue otherwise you risk getting your letter returned as an RTS (return to sender).

What I usually do, is mark my envelope on the front to the effect of: "please hold for (whoever) on (date)". It has worked for me so far

Best of luck, and please remember to let us know how you get on

Thanks for your help Ian!!

Trust me, if I am successful you will know because this would be my dream autograph. (I am sending to Eric Clapton) So I will be over the moon if he responds!!!!!

Best of luck with Eric. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you
