$345 to tap Attend. A rediculous event on a local hiking group. We think the owners let it expire, and someone else bought up the group.

For those not aware, Meetup’s leadership has been pushing the “start a business on Meetup” agenda. It’s all downhill from here.

    It’s about $110 per night, with included food and organised events of some kind. While I don’t know if this is expensive or not it doesn’t seem unreasonable to charge money for food and board of this particular event? Isn’t meetup just handling bookings and payments here? Or am I missing something.

    Saying that I stopped using meetup probably a decade ago. So not sure where it’s at these days but from the other rooster mentioned, meetup+ sounds like crap twitter move

      That’s the deposit, not the full price.

      The point is that until recently, Meetup was mostly local organizers setting up events for people to… meet up. This one was hiking.
