$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.
Oh I see, I misread thank you for the correction, I guess it depends if the deposit is basically to stop people reserving the place and backing out last minute, so they organiser gets to keep the money. Its like a non refundable hotel?
Yea that's my guess. It has always been taboo to make paid events unless it's something like contributing to food or an activity (in areas I've lived or been an organizer), sad to see it going the way of businesses advertising events.
Looking at the post, it's $345 for commuters -- or about $70 per meal.
For people staying in the accommodations, it's about $210 per night.
Overall, that seems expensive for a camping trip on Meetup.
Oh I see, I misread thank you for the correction
Yeah, basically you'd have to cut those figures down to 1/4 of what they are before I'd consider them reasonable.
I do agree with you in principle -- if the organizer is feeding everyone, it's only decent to pitch in a few bucks to cover the groceries.
I suppose they are also offering some kind of guided meditation as well as meals? I mean yeah it sort of sounds expensive, but also you do have designer handbags and jewellery that gets ridiculous prices.
Anyway yeah I stopped doing meetup for a long time and absolutely detest SAAS business models of alot of digital vendors too.
