HI @paulswanson
I guess it depends on how the data is stored initially?
Is Venue a custom post type with various ACF fields (name, address etc.)
If so, you may be able to use the venue name in the select option field but use the post ID as the option value, then use AJAX to retrieve the rest of the data and populate the other fields in the form.
