Need Help With Fan Mail

[zToast]

I never did this before so i am looking for some tips and help on sending fan mail.

Now i am trying to send mail to David Grohl from Foo Fighters.
I want to have him sign a CD Cover copy of his new album Sonic Highways.

I already posted in the other board asking if his fan mail address was up to date.

Now the questions i have is... What is the success rate of receiving autographs?
Also
How can i make it so i have a higher chance of getting the mail sent back to me with the autograph..


That's all i want to know and if you can help that would be great.. Thank you!

For number one you would need to research any feedback for the Foo Fighters to see if people get responses, and how often. Check if these are successes via venue or via their official address.

For number two I think including a return envelope with postage is the best way to increase your chance of success.

Apart from that, you will need alot of patience and maybe a little luck too.

alright.. is it a good idea to add tracking for both packages back and forth?
I could see where it is and when its coming home.

It doesn't seem like a lot of people on here send things to Dave Grohl..
Do you or anyone else know someone who has his signature through mail?

I know its expected to take awhile but i don't think anyone is really sending fan mail to him. Besides him being busy with the tour and such i think it would just take 2 months or earlier..
Now my friend sent mail to Adam Sandler with no return package and just a letter and got a response two years later. With someone like him i think he is more known to younger audiences and older audiences so meaning more mail.
( Not meaning this forum in general.. everyone )
With anyone in the Foo Fighters i don't see that.. Probably mostly a older audience that are most likely not going to send in mail.

Fanmail is sent by all ages so i'm not sure you can bank on a more mature audience meaning less mail. Music is also enjoyed by all ages

Tracking is up to you, personally I have never used it. If you get delivery confirmation that doesn't often mean it's guaranteed gotten to the celeb. So on that basis i've never bothered.

I have no idea about Dave Grohl I would recommend running searches on the forums and wider ones on google to see.

Well the package has been sent out with a tracking number and a return package with another tracking number.
( I just sent a photo to be singed instead )
I did the tracking just to know when its at the destination and then finally when its being sent home. Which may take months but now i know where it is at all times.

That is unless he or another person uses a different package.

Wish me luck!
