Roadie

Stop Drowning in
Spreadsheets & Email Chaos

Roadie is the tour booking platform built by booking agents who understand the grind.

We've been there—chasing down venue holds across a hundred spreadsheet tabs, searching through Gmail for that one buyer's response from three weeks ago, manually tracking which venues confirmed and which ghosted you. There's a better way.

Free to start. No credit card required. Build your first tour in minutes.

You Shouldn't Need a PhD to Book a Tour

Booking a tour means juggling dozens of venues, hundreds of emails, and endless spreadsheet tabs. Miss one response and you've lost a date. Forget to follow up and the hold slips away. Traditional tools weren't built for this workflow—they make the chaos worse.

Everything You Need. Nothing You Don't.

Purpose-built tools that solve real booking problems, not generic project management features dressed up for touring.

Venue Intelligence That Actually Helps

Stop maintaining scattered Google Sheets with outdated venue info. Our database gives you instant access to thousands of venues with real capacity numbers, accurate contact information, and interactive maps showing routing possibilities at a glance.

Filter by capacity, location, or availability. See which venues make sense geographically. Find the buyer contact you need without digging through old emails. It's like having an industry veteran's mental rolodex, but actually searchable.

Send 50 Hold Requests in 5 Minutes

Remember spending an entire afternoon copying and pasting hold request emails? Manually updating artist names, tour dates, and venue details for each venue? That's over.

Create customizable email templates with variables that auto-fill venue names, buyer contacts, show dates, and deal terms. Select the venues you want to hit, click send, and watch Roadie dispatch personalized emails to dozens of buyers simultaneously.

Even better—our Gmail integration automatically tracks responses and associates them with the right venue. No more searching "did The Echo ever respond?" across three months of email threads.

Build Tours That Make Sense

Tour routing shouldn't feel like solving a Rubik's cube blindfolded. Roadie gives you timeline and table views that make it obvious when dates work and when they don't.

Set target dates with flexibility windows. The system suggests logical routing based on geography. See your entire tour at a glance—which dates are locked, which are holds, which need follow-up. Drag to reorder stops. Update a date and watch the whole tour adjust.

No more maintaining a mental map of which venues are 8 hours apart or accidentally booking LA on Tuesday and Seattle on Wednesday. The routing is right there, visual and obvious.

Keep Deal Terms Straight

Which venues offered guarantees versus door deals? What were the ticket prices you quoted? What's the backend split? This information shouldn't live in your head or buried in email threads.

Track guarantees, percentages, door deals, ticket prices (advance and day-of), show times, and any custom deal terms for each venue. Everything is organized, searchable, and actually accessible when you need it—like when the promoter calls asking about backend points.

See your financial picture across the whole tour. Know which markets are strong guarantees and which are percentage gambles. Make informed decisions instead of flying blind.

Your Team, Actually in Sync

Stop texting "Did Chicago confirm?" or asking "Where's the latest version of the routing?" Real-time updates mean everyone on your team sees the same information, always current.

When a venue confirms a hold, everyone knows immediately. When deal terms change, the whole team has the update. No more wondering if you're working from the old spreadsheet or the new one.

Organization-scoped data means your artists have their tours, you have yours, and everyone stays in their lane. But within your organization? Seamless collaboration that actually works.

Remember Every Buyer Relationship

Talent buyers move around. Venues change hands. Keeping track of who books what and how they like to work is half the battle of booking tours successfully.

Roadie maintains a database of buyers with their preferences, past deals, and communication history. Know which buyers are slow responders. Remember that one promoter who always wants a 48-hour exclusive hold. See your relationship history with every contact.

It's the institutional knowledge of a 20-year booking veteran, but actually documented and searchable instead of locked in someone's brain.
