$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.
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.
