What is Mintoor? (for venues)
You got an email from a band via Mintoor. Wondering what Mintoor is.
The 60-second pitch
Mintoor is a tour-management and booking tool for working musicians — the software they use to plan tours, route shows, send inquiries, and settle venues.
For venues, Mintoor is a discovery and inbox layer: artists can find you (even if you haven't signed up), and you can optionally claim your venue's listing to take control of it.
Why you got an email from Mintoor
A real human artist on Mintoor sent you a real booking inquiry. Mintoor just routed it through our infrastructure (for deliverability + reply tracking). The email you received looks and reads like a normal booking email. It is one.
We don't charge booking fees
Unlike some marketplaces, Mintoor takes zero booking fees and has zero commission on shows. If you book the artist who emailed you, you and they settle directly — nothing flows through Mintoor.
We're a tool for artists (subscriptions pay our bills), with a free venue-discovery layer as a side effect.
Your options from here
- Respond to the email directly — reply like you would any booking email. The artist gets it.
- Claim your venue — see How to claim your venue. Takes 5 minutes, unlocks an in-app inbox with structured inquiries, analytics, and the ability to update your venue's public info.
- Ignore it — totally fine. No spam, no follow-up from us. The artist can track that you haven't replied; they'll move on.
Why artists book through here
- Structured outreach — instead of a random "Hi, I'm a band, can I play?" email, the inquiry includes genre, draw estimate, date, streaming links, past shows.
- Not mass-spam — artists on Mintoor are paying $19–$149/mo to use the tool. They're intentional about pitching venues that actually fit.
- Reliable deliverability — our email infrastructure has a warmed-up reputation, so bookings land in inboxes instead of spam.
