Is this really incorrect ?

Hey!
You can attach につき to the noun only, so for it to be correct the sentence should be like this:

予約の取り消しにつき、幾つか手続きをしていただきたい。

On the other hand, にあたり can be attached to a verb without any issue.

Cheers :slight_smile:

Wow, I totally missed that! Would it be okay to nominalize the phrase, as in 予約を取り消すことにつき[•••] ?

From the grammar perspective it is natural, but it is a bit too lenghty.
