Autograph - Techniques to get an Autograph

By Mark Turgeon


Getting an autograph requires patience and tenacity. If you want a player to sign something for you, you will need to wait near where he will pass by. You should not yell or antagonize the player for any reason. You will need to observe the area where the player may go during a break in the game.

If you are planning on attending a professional sporting event then, it is suggested to get there early. Arriving at the event early is good to see the players during warm-up practices. Some players are more relaxed during these warm up practices, so they may be willing to sign.

In most cases when you attend a pro tennis match you have easier access to the tennis players because your inches away from them. The tennis players are in the open public, and they have to move around a lot to get to their locker rooms and back to the courts without security.

When you're asking for a signature from a player, you should always show some courtesy and respect. Ask them politely and even tell them how great they are. They like that. These athletes only have a few minutes of time to spare, so you have to be alert of the situation when pursuing for an autograph.

If you are chasing a celebrity who is attending a publicity event, you will have to be extra diligent about how you behave. Movie stars and musicians often travel with heavy security so it is very difficult to get close to them. It is possible to get a celebrity's autograph if you are in the right position at the right time. When you are waiting for the celebrity to arrive at the event, you will want to be close to where vehicles are picking up and dropping off celebrities.

When the time comes and you're within distance of the celebrity, give them room and ask them politely for an autograph. It's either a yes or no answer from the star. They might say when I leave the event or when they are done with dinner. You may have to wait and take the same approach when they come out.

If the celebrity or rock star says they will sign after the event or dinner, then you may have to wait until they are done and leave. Patiently wait if you still desire that autograph, and when they come out to leave, approach them again with the same respect.

Bothering a celebrity while they eat their dinner is probably the worst thing you can do. So stay away until they are done. Always be courteous to the celebrity and their entourage. This will only help you out in the long run. Autographs are fun to obtain in-person, but not every celebrity signs. If they do not sign for you it's not the end of the world. Stay positive and keep trying, the signatures will come.
