How far in advance do you send Via Venue?

[Madina]

I want to write to a band that are performing at a venue in 10 days, do you think its too late to send a letter?

[cb1892]

No it's not too late.

Take a look at these threads, they give plenty of useful information:

I sent mine 3 days before( to Detroit, and it should have got there.

Try to get it there the day of the concert. Delivery time might differ depending on how far away you live away from the venue. First-class domestic in the US takes no more than 3 days to arrive at its destination. It could takes less time if you live fairly close to the venue. If you are sending it to a concert internationally first-class could very (there is no time limit). If you letter arrives a day or two before the concert, chances are it will be tossed by the staff.

If you want to send to a celebrity via a theatre you will have more time to send to him/her. Play's and musicals on average are more than a month long, so you usually don't have to worry about your letter getting to the celebrity in time. Like concertsm if your letter arrives too early, it will most likely get tossed.

I would say you should try to send 3-6 days before a concert in your country, and 7-14 days if the concert is not in your country.

Always write "Please hold for _________ on ___________" If the venue is on the list of "will pass on fanmail" they *should* hold it for 2 or 3 days if your letter gets there early.

Always write "Please hold for _________ on ___________"

Great idea! {thumb2}
