Fast Friends + Abba's Back Party Party | 21–45 | Welcome Drink

Looking to meet new people but don't want the awkwardness of walking into a party not knowing anyone? Fast Friends gives you a fun, hosted way to meet lots of people through themed conversation rounds — helping you break the ice, make new connections and find people to enjoy the evening with. Then stay on for ABBA's Back LIVE, enjoy your FREE welcome drink and continue the evening with the new friends you've just met. 🎟 Book online and save:[ https://sydney12thsept.eventbrite.co.uk](https://sydney12thsept.eventbrite.co.uk) Early Bird – A$5 per person Regular Ticket – A$10 per person Cash at meetup – A$15 per person If you haven't purchased your ticket in advance, you can pay A$15 cash when you meet Nina at the venue. Booking ahead helps us plan the right group size and reserve enough space to create the best experience for everyone. ❤️ Why You'll Love It 🤝 Meet lots of new people in one evening. 💬 Themed conversation rounds give you interesting things to talk about, making it much easier to connect than simply approaching a stranger. 🔄 Meet different people throughout the session instead of spending the whole evening talking to just one person. 🎤 A friendly host guides the experience, keeps the rounds moving and helps with introductions. 🥂 Enjoy a FREE welcome drink during the party. 👋 Come solo or with a friend — either way, you'll have plenty of opportunities to meet others. 🎶 Stay for ABBA's Back LIVE and enjoy the party with the people you've just met. 📅 Schedule 6:00 PM – Arrive & meet your host Please arrive at 6:00 PM to get the full Fast Friends experience. You'll meet your host, get settled, enjoy your FREE welcome drink and meet the other attendees. The hosted experience starts at 6:00 PM, so arriving late means missing some of the conversation rounds and introductions. 6:00 PM – 7:30 PM – Fast Friends ❤️ This is the main part of the evening. For 90 minutes, you'll take part in our hosted, themed conversation rounds. You'll move between different people and different conversations, giving you plenty of opportunities to meet and connect with people you might not otherwise have spoken to. 7:30 PM – 8:00 PM – Continue socialising with your host At 7:30 PM, ABBA's Back LIVE begins, but our host remains with the group for another 30 minutes. This gives everyone extra time to continue conversations, make introductions and settle into the party together. 8:00 PM – 9:00 PM – ABBA's Back + socialising 🎶 At 8:00 PM, the hosted Fast Friends experience officially finishes and our host will leave. You are very welcome to stay until 9:00 PM. Enjoy ABBA's Back LIVE, dance, grab a drink and continue chatting with the new friends you've made. The final hour is unhosted, so you can enjoy the party at your own pace. 🌟 First Time? Perfect! Many people come on their own, and lots of attendees are joining Fast Friends for the first time. You don't need to know anyone beforehand. Our host will guide the conversation rounds and help make introductions, creating a relaxed environment where meeting people feels natural rather than forced. Members from our other 7 Sydney Meetup communities also attend many of our events, helping create a larger and more diverse social group. For over 10 years, Fast Friends has been bringing people together through hosted social events in 30+ cities worldwide, helping thousands of people build genuine friendships. Come for Fast Friends. Meet new people. Then enjoy ABBA's Back together. ❤️
