Not related to LA at all but I've hosted meetups where venues had to be rented before and this is a huge consideration for price. If you don't believe it, then call the venue yourself and ask how much it costs to rent the place for a couple hours. You don't even need to know how many specific people are going like the excuse >>10175527 made, if its as small a restaurant as >>10175822 said you can assume the venue is being rented out in its entirety. Once you get the price, assume the organizers realize they probably won't sell out of tickets and conservatively estimate how many people would be interested and buy tickets, and as soon as you can minimally recoup the reservation cost, you have your ticket price.

I'm not anywhere near your comm but this kind of bitching and tinfoiling ("the mods must be pocketing the money!!!") is why no one likes hosting meetups for lolitas
