- One Direction has organized tours. Find out if the band will visit your location (or a nearby area). Remember that tickets sell out quickly, so find out about the points of sale in advance.
- If the band is not performing near you, tweet it. They may see it on Twitter and add concerts to the tour in venues near your area.
- Try to see them at events held to welcome and meet them or autograph signing events. Search online beforehand about holding these events near your location and see how to get a bracelet.
- Do not show up unexpectedly at the home of one of the gang members. There is a big difference between being a stalker and a Directioner.

Step 9. Don't hate
Don't hate any member or person related to One Direction. Hating one of them does not make you a Directioner, it makes you a Directionater (a false fanatic).
- Hating the girlfriends of the band members (Eleanor, Perrie, Sophia, etc) is not right.
- Hating ex-girlfriends of band members won't bring you closer to them either.
- Hating a member of the band (Niall, Zayn, Louis, Liam and Harry) does not make you Directioner.
- If you truly support this band, you will appreciate everyone equally.
