Question Booking venues

Hey I am trying to book a venue for my bands album release in a couple months. I don’t want to have to wait for each venue to respond before going onto the next one, so should I hit a bunch of them up at once? Is it rude to turn down an acceptance because multiple venues were available for the day I want? Any advice appreciated!

Message them all, book the one that works out. If others get back to you later, 'hey, thanks, we're all sorted, will hit you up for a show sometime in the future! Thanks!'. /scene

You got plenty of time. Have a priority list. Feel free to mention you’re just checking availability for multiple venues for X date (if you have a specific date set). Personally like to do enquires one at a time, give them a week max to respond….but any venue that takes more than 3 days might be tougher to schedule with if you’re waiting a week between each email. Good luck.
