  Yes, it is over-priced. What you may want to know though is......there are equal and even better offerings from other organized social clubs in town that are not as costly. There has been a change in Event Coordinators and I was hopeful there would be some different events. It seems to be a repeat of the same events and venues. They tend to be game nights/events at the club house, games in the park, hikes, happy hours with the occasional sports and arts events. The male to female ratio is anywhere from 1 male to 3 females or more. Great for the guys! The 40 plus crowd that they will lead you to believe is in equal proportion to all other age groups is not. The male to female ratio becomes even more disparate in this age group. The sales girl used the term "professional" ad nausuem in her sale pitch. You may want them to expound more on their definition of "professional" to see if it aligns with your definition. I joined after moving to Houston last year to meet people and I had tried many other social venues before joining. This has been a very disappointing venture. I felt with the price I was paying I would meet people with similar interests. There have been a few; however, I've met more people in other organized social clubs (HSS, BCO, etc.) that were professionals and had similar interests.

  I was lured into their office by a radio advertisement for an “informal information meeting”, but told to bring 3 forms for ID, and was told nothing about prices nor given any details over the phone, assured they would be covered in the meeting. Upon arriving, it quickly turned into an experience similar to being sold a timeshare or a used car. A woman salesperson who was over-the-top nice to me talked up E&A like it was the answer to all my prayers. I was shown many photos of young, healthy, active people doing fun, outdoorsy things. When it finally came time to reveal the cost of their membership, I almost did a double-take. $2,000 just for the “privilege” to become a member, plus $30/month in additional fees, plus you are responsible for paying for the tickets to the events, the tab for any dinners, plus pay for drinks at the events. From what I’ve heard, any event tickets bought through them are marked up also, to get even more revenue and profit from members. When objecting to the excessiveness of this cost, the salesperson’s tone quickly changed, to the point where she became annoyed by my detailed questions about why this was so expensive, that she was doing a favor for me by taking the time to help me get in on this “special exclusive offer”, and not-so-subtly hinted that if I didn’t join I’d be lonely and single for the rest of my life. Finally I insisted I would like to think about it, and was told this “incredible offer” was only good right now, and that they would have to pass on this offer to the next person if I didn’t sign “right now!”. There are plenty of free alternatives out there to meet singles. Speed dating, meet up groups, online clubs depending on your interests, etc. Many alternatives that are free or much less expensive and give you the same experience.

  I stupidly signed an unlimitted contract for $3,595!!! I know! what was I thinking??? the salesperson was very pushy making you feel like you’re joining this top of the line club where you’re going to meet awesome guys and you just have to join b/c if you don’t you’re going to end up alone and single for the rest of your life. I paid $200 down, then started paying $80 a month and got it reduced to $50 a month. I was not able to get out of this contract. and had to pay the remainder I owed which was more than $2000 dollars otherwise they threathen to ruin my credit, I only went to 3 events (new members introduction was to bring a dish-I didn’t! movie/dinner $20, cooking class $40) Pretty much all the events you have to pay what the heck is my monthly dues for? The people here were not people that I would want to meet, this was totally a waste of my time and my hard earned money, never again! This business deserves no stars but I had to pick one... if you search for events and adventures scam you will find tons of people that this has happened to. This is a total scam if you’re thinking about joining please find other ways to meet people.

  I am serious about this and looking online I think we have enough complaints to pull this off. I am looking to start a class action law suit against this Events and Adventures organization...if any have been mistreated, misled, email me at smt372@gmail.com with your name, a brief of what happened and whether or not you have hard evidence, emails, returned letters, any documentation on the poor treatment they send out. You want your money back? I know I do. I am fired up they are getting $4k of my hard earned dollars...anyway...I need to create a list of plaintiffs before I can procede with any action. Help me and help yourself and email me.

  I should have never signed up for this non-sense. Trying to terminate their contract is a complete nightmare. They do get a couple of normal people, but the vast majority of their clientele are a bunch of freaks. If you are thinking about it - DON'T! You have a much better chance of meeting that special someone elsewhere. The only positive feedback on this site is left by E&A employees. Don't fall for that.

  It's so worth it! I am recently single and have met so many great people who are now friends. I have met a few great guys too! Don't believe the hype, it only works if you use it and go out to meetings/events and it is well worth the money. I don't meet random creepy guys at a bar or even at the grocery store, lets face it we all know what they are looking for. This has given me a safe environment to meet new people. Like they say, everyone goes through the same screening process and its well worth it. I couldn't have made a better decision.

  I was very excited about joining, however, I will really have to think this over. What's that saying about more negatives than positives?\r It is unfortunately, true. People do focus on the negative (comments) more than the positive.\r What a shame. I suppose I will start looking for a cat tomorrow.

  I joined Events and Adventures and paid the fee for the membership. After about a month I didn't feel like this was the type of thing for me. Most of the people that joined were much older and i didn't feel like i was getting anywhere. i could be doing better on my own. So i tried to cancel my membershitp and they said that they would buts that i still had to pay the remaining balance. I was upset and asked them why would i have to pay for a service that i did not want. They said i signed a contract and asked for a copy of my contract. The contract was misleading and i felt stupid for not asking more questions. So know that if this "membership" ends up not being up to your satisfaction, then you are stuck with that balance. I think it is a bad practice and i should not have to pay thousands of dallas for a service i do not use or that they provide.

  Real member review of Events and Adventures... someone who made it past the interview, was accepted and attends events about twice monthly and sometimes more frequent.\r \r My name is Edward and I have been reading all kinds of reviews about www.EventsandAdventures.com and most of them are from people who never got past the initial interview. Myself, I did join and am happy to report I love it. Now, things might be different if I could not afford it, was not accepted, or got engaged after I joined and wanted out of my contract but none of these things actually apply to the club or the company...those would be my issues, right? \r So, please all of you dummies complaining who never became a member - there is probably a reason why you are 1) not a member of Events and Adventures and more importantly 2) single. \r Nobody, and I mean nobody, likes an adult who can take responsibility for their own actions. Stop with the slamming of this company and act like an adult. I am speaking on behalf o

  Reviews by people who have never been a member of Events and Adventures are absolutely unfair. How can someone without experience tell you what goes on in a members only club? Fortunately, I am an active member and can share my experiences with you. Of course, I am speaking only for myself and my membership at www.eventsandadventures.com - I can not attest to that of yours or any other members but I can offer you a lot more information than wannabes who never made the cut or are mad because they can't afford to join. \r \r First, the enrollment process.\r If you are a mature adult you can easily handle this situation by simply forming the word 'No' and politely getting up and leaving. We are adults or should be. It does seem that many are afraid to make their feelings known and that's part of being an adult. \r Each of us decides what we will or will not participate. Those who could not say no...if you signed up and later had buyer's remorse that is not the company's fault. That is your r

  E & A costs $1,995 a year plus $30 a month, and there is no getting out of it. After 2 weeks and 5 events I realized this club is not for me but they will not let me cancel my membership and they are charging me for a full year. Also that cost does not include the cost of any of the events, which are anywhere from $5 to $100 just to attend the event.

  I was looking for a way to meet people and i called events and adventures. i really wasnt trying to sign a contract but they called and called and called me. so i went to the houston location. she nearly forced me to sign the contract that would be around 2000 dollars. so i went to a few of the events and i was supprised that i still had to pay for the events even though im giving this organization 100 dollars a month. so i try to get out of the contract but there is no way they would let me and almost 2 years later i theyve taken about 4000 from me. so now im going to get a loan to pay them off so that i dont have to deal with them anymore. i have read that if you stand outside of there business with a sign warning people whats going on they may revoke your contract but i dont have the time to do that. so ill warn people here THIS PLACE IS A SCAM!! DONT DO IT!!

  First of all, i was a member of this club for 6 months. I am still paying. I refuse to put my real name on this review because I have friends that have written bad reviews and were contacted by the owner. He reads this board, and has his staff write fake reviews. This place is a scam, check the BBB. They charge you around $2000 for the opportunity to meet people. You are better off using meetup for FREE! You then PAY for the events which is no cheaper than what you and a group of your friends would pay, and thats it. The people are meh, the events are fun, but not worth $2000. Average age of the people who join is mid to late 40's and it is definately NOT for someone in their 20's or 30's. Any place that does NOT tell you the pricing over the phone is a bait and switch, they wait until you are in front of them to try and gulit you into paying, and the people that work there work on commission. The reason I know this is because I had a friend that worked at the one in Seattle that told me later on. I think its a good idea in theory, but seriously $2000 to meet people.... RUN away from this organization and their FAKE reviews.

  DO NOT SIGN A CONTRACT WITH THIS COMPANY! I signed up for the whole deal. Turns out life happens and I did not need E&A's service. I did not attend a single event, was in the building once for the interview. Almost 2 years later I decided to deal with all the little payments coming out of my account, and wrote the letter to have my membership cancelled. E&A has told me that even though I have given them nearly $2000 that they will not stop billing me. If I stop paying they will sell my account to a collection agency. Nice people eh, I get my life sorted out myself and they still want to take all the money. At the end of the day they will take some $4000 from me. Check the Better Business Bureau, wish I did. DO NOT SIGN A CONTRACT WITH THIS COMPANY!!

  The last thing I needed after my boyfriend suddenly announced “it’s me, not you” was to get back into the dating scene. I still can’t tell you what made me give Events & Adventures a try, but whatever I was thinking that day really paid off. I went into it telling myself I’d give it thirty days. I knew, of course, I wouldn’t meet the man of my dreams in a month, or at least, even if I did, I knew I probably wouldn’t know so soon, but I did go into it with the goal of not letting the break up keep me down. I figured if I wasn’t home to answer the phone, then I wouldn’t appear to be pining away for some jerk who broke up with me on Facebook with the typical excuses (remember – “it’s not you, it’s me”). And too, if I’m being completely honest, I hesitated and even thought of cancelling that first event. I’m so glad I didn’t, though. I have met some of the best people in the world. The crazy thing is they “get” me…just like a best friend gets us. Only problem was, my best friend is married and has triplets who are less than a year old. These guys have proven to me that there’s so much more to life. I can’t believe I actually went on a trip without having someone go with me! I knew I’d have a blast with the group. I feel so worldly now! All I can say is give Events & Adventures thirty days. I am sure you’ll come to the same conclusions I did.

  I’m still recovering from this trip we took to Belize! I have to say, until the Belize trip, I wasn’t sure exactly what I could write that would stand out, now, though, I have enough to tell anyone considering Events & Adventures that would fill a book. The vacation was awesome! The other members and I had an absolute blast. There was so much to do – more than any of us could have even managed in two months! The options Events & Adventures offered was many and I think I speak for the whole group when I say our biggest problem was trying to decide which ones to take advantage of. Seriously, each morning, we were greeted by a message from the folks at Events & Adventures, review the events slated for the day, have breakfast and then from there, it was a whirlwind adventure! Kudos to the team! Even the glitch at Banana Beach was just that – a minor glitch that was remedied quickly. It was by far a perfect vacation! I feel like I have a new lease on life. The last one was about to expire!! Every word of this is true and I’m really looking forward to my move to Atlanta now that I know there’s an Events & Adventures office. If the staff is anything like it is here, I know good things await me. I can honestly say I’ve come out of my shell and have discovered there’s far more than weekends at the office."

  " New Year’s Eve this year was the best ever! I could not have asked for a better New Year’s Eve party! The folks at Events & Adventures made it special and the turnout was impressive. There were a lot of people in attendance. The gambling was great and so was the food, the entertainment and the decorations. The club that was served as the host facility was just right for our crowd, which, by the way is a blast to be with It was truly a special night that I will not soon forget. Events & Adventures is unmatched in this industry (and believe me – I’d know!) and the staff simply doesn’t get any better. The formula works for anyone wishing to break out of their predictable lives. I’m pretty sure this will be a new year’s that will be impossible to top! I’m looking forward to trying, though. I’m looking forward to going with the Events & Adventures group this summer on at least a few of the trips. I’m always impressed with the way the staff treats its members – always kind and respectful. I can’t believe I was actually nervous to join! The friends I’ve met will be friends for life and the potential for romance is exciting – I’ve met some great people on both levels. I think I can safely say everyone in attendance had a blast. No Events & Adventures review is complete without mention of this fantastic party. It’s clear these guys put their hearts into planning these shindigs – Well done! "

  I joined this group in the fall of last year after having a rather horrible break up with my ex. I had hopes of meeting new people near to my age, since I tend to have a relatively lonely profession. This was one of the biggest, and dumbest mistakes that I've ever made. The people were nice, and the events were fun. That's not really where my problem occurred. I could overlook the fact that the majority of people were not in their mid to late twenties, as I was told, but older. I could ignore the fact that I was paying an outrageous amount monthly, which I was told would cover 80% of my events, but in truth did not cover anything. I could even brush aside all of the extra fees and costs I was initially told did not exist. What I can not, and will not, turn a blind eye to is that I was not ONCE told that I only had three days to cancel. I was pretty much blatantly lied to and lead around. I was unfortunate enough to not realize my mistake until I had already been in the group for about a month. I decided I wanted to cancel and was told that I couldn't. I feel as though this company deceived me. Is it my fault for signing a contract? Yes. Very much so. But I was never told that I couldn't cancel any time that I wanted. I was lied to about the age group, I was lead on about fees. I'm overall extremely dissatisfied. I would never recommend anyone to join this group. I am now attempting to plan my wedding, and I'm told that I STILL cannot cancel. And not only can I not cancel but their suggestion was for my fiancée to join as well. I'd rather spend the $200 a month on supplies for my wedding. Why would we want to go to singles events when we're attempting to plan our wedding? I'm appalled that there are companies out there that prey on the lonely and broken hearted. It's a rather low blow if I may say so myself. DO NOT JOIN! DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE! They hide costs and and use shady sale pitches to reel you in and then bleed you dry of whatever money you 'OWE' them.

  I just heard an ad for this on the radio and my co-worker was telling me she was interested in joining so I decided to google "reviews of events and adventures". This sounds like a lot of fun but if you look into it, it's obviously a scam. I found out that it costs $1,600 per year, plus $25/month with a 1 year minimum commitment. You also have to pay additional fees for each event-- even if it's just watching a movie at a clubhouse!! WHY?!? Where does this money go! Before you join, there is a "screening" process where you have to go to a interview with one of the employees. This meeting is basically a high-pressure sales pitch where they ask you personal questions then do a fake "background check" and then tell you that you are fit for the group. You have 72 hours to cancel when you join--- by LETTER- they dont tell you this. If you have taken a psychology class or know anything about sales, you'll know that people are more likely to agree to something when you meet with them in person, rather than over the phone, hence the "in person interview". ALSO-- i would like you to notice that all the positive reviews on here are by people with only ONE review-- this seems fishy to me....as if someone from the company wrote them. If you google "reviews for events and adventures", you'll find the real story. check out all the reviews on the "RBGscan" site. BUYER BEWARE!

  I paid $100 and signed up back in May. They said I had 24 hrs to cancel my membership. I called the next day to cancel cuz I was leaving the country the next week and I tried to get my initial $100 refunded but they wouldn't give it to me in time (what a surprise!) so I had to leave. Now I come back 6 months later and I find a letter from them claiming $300 for having no association with them whatsoever and a threat to contact collections. These guys owe me $100! WTF is going on. I need some advice here. Think the Better Business Bureau will help. I want My $100 back right NOW!!

  I joined Events and Adventures a few months ago and have had a blast ever since! I was initially a little unsure of the idea of buying a membership to go out and have fun but in the long run it has been money well spent. I’ve enjoyed a multitude of different outings and have made a lot of new friends along the way. There is a wide variety of events to choose from and more events in one month than I can even attend so it keep me busy in my spare time! I’ve suggested it to a few friends and took them as guests to a few events and naturally they had a great time as well and 2 of them also became members. It’s nice making new friends but it’s even better when you can mix both your current and new friends together. I noticed a few of the negative remarks about Events and Adventures and I have to say I disagree, these people probably didn’t give it a fair chance. It is a little odd in the beginning but once you let your guard down and start talking to people, it’s impossible not to have a good time.

  I thought E&A would answer my social needs. It DID NOT. I bought into the sales pitch at a cost of $1,700.00. I was not given the time to think about my decision of joining E&A because they would not let me unless I wanted to pay more. The man I met with said, 'that the price offered was only good for that day of the interview.' To "sleep on it" and think it over was not an option. To join the next day would cost me $2,000. This should be a RED FLAG to anyone! This is the definition of a high pressure sales tactic. I regretfully did join. Went to one event and found it not to be for me: it was disorganized, only five members attended and they seemed to be completely immature, shy, and lacking in social skills. SAVE YOUR MONEY!!!! you can spend your money more wisely i.e. host a party, take a class, or simple buy that thing you always wanted because for me joining E&A did not make me anymore social or happy, I was just 1,700.00 poorer.

  Be careful with this company. I saw their ad on the internet so I typed in my information. They called me and the guy said "We'll set up an appointment for you to come to our 'clubhouse' and meet a group member." I had no idea about the cost, so I said "Does it cost anything?" and he said yes, but that's never an issue. So I went in for my meeting, which is actually an interview, and the lady talked to me forever and I could tell it was a scam. So she showed me the price, (it's over $1,000 for a year) and I acted hesitant. The catch is that if you go home to think about it, and want to come back at a different date, it will cost you $300 more. So they are trying to pressure you into signing right then. So I signed because they said I had 24 hours to revoke my subscription. Well, I revoked it by sending an email, and it has been about three weeks, and they still haven't refunded my credit card. If this place was all that and more, they would not have to do the "sign now and save $300 or wait till tomorrow and lose the $300." No legitimate offer that is worth the money would do that. Plus, it does not need to take a month to refund someone's credit card.

  I was led to believe that there were people. in the 23-30 age group that attended these events. NOT SO! The front office person (name withheld) gave the impression that this was a good place for a 22 year old to associate, and that I could get a pro-rated refund if I did not enjoy the activities. I like to have FUN! But....not with my Dad's friends. Be careful what you get into. This is a scam.

  Until a gf of mine said hey why not try events and adventures. I was very bored with the dating services bs. I needed a place to meet good guys who aren't pigs. Finally I can go out and do stuff without feeling I am being juged and stalked. The men in the club are just that MEN not boys. I am very pleased and I wish I would of joined sooner. I have already gotten two of my friends to join up as well.

  I was on the last leg of a project when I was getting this new thing called free time. I really haven't been out since my marriage ended in 07 and wasn't sure whoo or where to go. Sure I went out with the gwoman at work but that always goes arye. So I found this site on google Events and Adventures. I called the number and went in on a Friday I had 4 different events to do that weekend alone. I loved it. It was such a chilled out group and the woman are all very down to Earth. Its been a great time. I am glad I finally got off my can and am doing something other then throwing money out the window on ditzy dates.................... KM

  I moved from Richmond VA about two years ago. The woman in H town are hot but most are dumb as stumps or gold diggers. This was a problem for me. I had already been through the ringer and didn't want to pay out for some bimbo. So when my brother said try the events and adventures that's all over the radio. So I called and they asked some odd questions I did go into the appointment. The girl was really straight forward very informed she just flat out asked what was I looking for. I liked the fact that they don't accept everyone into the club keep the money grubbers out. So I have been in for a few weeks I have met some cool wooman who are fun and got their lives in order. So I do think if you are looking for a fun club with good cool people this is the only one I have found in town.

  I am busy professional who doesnt have a lot of free time. I love this place. They have made my search so much easier to find like minded individuals that are not only single, professional but grouped by interest, so i look it sort of like a filtering process that gets rid of the guys/gals that I would not prefer to associate with. Their calender is full of fun events every single day of the week, so all I have to do is sign up, show up and have a great time. It has really streamlined the process in helping me find fun, active singles in my age group!

  I just met an incredible man through E &A. The screening proceess takes some time because you do have to go into their office and bring 3 forms of ID, but let me tell you the peace of mind that it gives me is incredible. I have 3 girls and I really cant chance who I am bringing around me or them. I just wanted to thank E & A and recommend it to anyone that will listen because I have met a man through the club that I would have never otherwise met. As it turns out, we live 2 miles from each other. This guy was practically in my back yard and I almost missed out. I was nervous at first to join, not knowing really what to expect, but I did just like the membership rep told me and stayed focused on the activities and meeting him was natural....but the best part was we hung out as friends at several events before as he tells it finally go up the courage to ask me out and boy am I glad he did because I had a crush on him too. This is so awesome, I strongly recommend it to anyone that cares about the quality of people they are meeting.

  This is one of the neatest things I have encountered. I joined this club for the fun and making friends, but to me the neatest thing was that after every event , there is a feedback form that goes directly to the owner of the clubs because he really cares about our satisfaction wih the club and the events. In today, where most of the time you just get the run around, I think it's super neat that the you have a direct line of communication with the owner. KUDOS.

  I was very nervous about joining anything new because I am really shy and wasnt sure what to expect. Just going into the interview to be screened was nerve racking to me,but I am so glad that I went now because it turned out to be a really comfortable way to meet people. Every event has a host so there is always someone there to make sure that all my questions are answered and make sure that everyone is having a good time and that everything goes off without a problem. Since everything is focused around an activity it takes off that pressure and uncomfortable silence that you normally have through traditional dating. You go to events that you love, skip the ones you don't and everything is very comfortable, and organized. It's a really great way to meet people that are in the same boat!

  I moved from Minnesota to Houston last August. I had got divorced and I wanted a new start to my life. I moved to Houston so I would be near my mom. The hardiest thing for me leaving Minnesota was that I was still hanging out with my friends from high school up until I moved down here. I am an extravert and I love being around people, but most importantly the right people for me. I did not want to go to the bar to meet people and I work with a bunch of old married people so it was not easy for me to make friends there that I could hang with all the time. I surfed the net for single clubs in Houston and I came accross Events and Adventures. I went in for an interview with a member who works there. She was very friendly and understanding. I was hesatint to join because I am not one to jump into things. I came to the realization that I need an out to meet people so I decided to jump in and go for it. I had nothing to loose. I have now been a member for 8 months and I love it. I have more friends now then I ever thought I would. These peole are fun and very down to earth. I recommend it to any single people I meet in my everyday life. The cool thing is that this club has awesome people, fun activities, and I can meet guys that have the same interests that I have.

  Newly divorced, I have been out of the dating game so long......so I tried the ONLINE thing, what a nightmare>>>>>bunch of married guys or pervs. I am not a bar person. I even tried church, but I couldnt figure out where to meet people in my age group, that are also professional. college educated, and since I have 2 children, I wanted to go into a screened environment. I heard about it on the radio and thought, wow, there is a place where I can make new friends, do things I love doing that I have always wanted to do or try, just not on my own and that also allows me to date at my comfort level and never have a one on one situation where we are alone and I know nothing about them and was depending on them to tell the truth in a profile. It is the things they dont say that worried me. Here I can do fun stuff, make friends, date and vacation. All in ONE place.

  (Houston location) I had called this company to inquire about their services and set up an "interview." After this, things seemed fishy so I read reviews and decided I didn't want to waste my time, there are other ways to meet people. Anyways, so I sent an email to cancel, which I guess they never got. My problem is, now they CALL ME EVERY SINGLE DAY, EVEN ON WEEKENDS!!!!! Always the same girl 'Natasha." She even leaves me the same voicemail every time. "Hi ---- just wanted to see if you were still interested in coming for an interview......" It's been like a month that she has been calling me. Now......I admit I haven't returned the calls, but OH MY GOD, besides being completely insane, could this be considered harassment?????? I would never bother somebody this much! Arrrrgggghh. Am I being unreasonable?

  I joined Events and Adventures two years ago, and while I admit to being a little shocked when I saw the price of membership, it was worth every penny. I used to spend my time at home watching tv every night, and now I am never home because I am out having fun and meeting people. I have done so many things I never would have done on my own such as paintball, broomball, and bonfires on the beach. Tonight I am going to a wine pairing at a wine bar, and tomorrow I am going on a day trip the caverns. I have made some great friendships, and it helped me get out of the rut I was in. I definitely recommend it for people who are new to town, need more single friends, or want to meet a quality person in a non-pressure environment. The more often you attend events, the more fun you will have and the more people you will meet.

  I joined last year. before they got so big and I was scared but this club changed my life. I think theree is close to a 1000 now. I am 40 and all my friends are married. The only way I met guys was through dating services online and most of the guys were only looking to get something. My firiends didnt get out much because of the kids and I spent most of my time watching tv or eating out alone. Now my life is exciting. I went horse back riding, roller blading, I attend wine tastings, festables, kayacking, and much more. the best part is that I met someone very special at the club. it is pricey you awill have to spend between 2000-3000 dollars but finding the right person can not be priced. It is all worth it and I have friends I will have for a life time. It has taught me how to get out of my shell
