Collecting Autographs Via Venue!
Thursday, December 17, 2009 at 6:03PM I have been really busy lately and have not been able to spend as much time as I would like on this section. I hope to do better next year. Maybe that will be one of my resolutions. However if I make it a resolution, I will fail. I have never stuck to a resolution. Anyways back to the autographs. First let me explain what via venue means. Via venue is a stadium, arena, concert hall, theater, or any other place a celebrity might have an event scheduled. I have had the most success my self with musicians through Via Venue. I have successfully gotten Kenny Chesney, Carrie Underwood, Kid Rock, Toby Keith, Blake Shelton, Daughtry and more. When I request a via venue, I always send a 4x6 print and ask the celebrity to sign it like I would with any other request. I include a Self Addressed Stamp Envelope, with my address in both places on the envelope.
Here is an example of a Request I am sending out. I am sending a fan letter to Reba, along with my self addressed stamp envelope and 2 photos. I am asking her to sign on for me and one for my mom. I am sending it to the show she is playing January 29th at the Thompson Bowling Arena in Knoxville, TN. I looked up the address to the arena. I addressed the envelope to Reba in care of the arena. I usually send it out about 7-10 days before the show. Some times it works and sometimes it does not, it is just a chance. I would say I have about 50-65% success rate.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. Good luck! Please feel free to comment below!
