Requesting a rebook

Show was great. You want to play here again. Strike while the iron is hot.

When you'd use this

The gig went well. Crowd was good, you and the venue liked each other. Ask about rebooking before they forget you.

How to rebook

Once a stop is settled (you've recorded the settlement on the Settle tab), a "Pitch them again" card appears at the bottom of the Details tab. Tap Compose rebook inquiry and Mintoor opens the outreach composer with the email pre-filled — thanks for the show, attendance reference, payout reference, and a flexible "any open Friday or Saturday" ask.

Edit anything you want, then send. The reply lands in your Inquiries inbox like any other thread.

The timing sweet spot

Best time to ask for a rebook: within 2 weeks of the original show.

  • 0–3 days: venue remembers your show vividly, but may be too busy
  • 3–14 days: peak window. Venue still has you in mind; schedule planning is current.
  • 14–60 days: still reasonable. Venue will need a memory jog.
  • 60+ days: treat it like a fresh pitch. Don't lean on the "we played 8 months ago" hook — lean on your current tour.

What to ask for

  • Same night of week next year? Standard rebook ask if you have a good slot.
  • A better night? If you played Tuesday but want Friday.
  • Earlier time of year? If this one was lightly attended due to season.
  • A different deal? If you pulled way over their guarantee and want versus next time.

Be specific. Vague "let me know if you want me back" rebook requests produce vague results.

Response handling

Venue replies → thread lands in your Inquiries inbox. You negotiate like any other inquiry.

If venue goes silent:

  • Follow up once after 14 days
  • Let it drop after second follow-up
  • Re-pitch fresh in 6 months for next year's rotation
