$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.

    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.

        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.
