**Whether you're new to Sydney or just expanding your social circle, The Wednesday Social is your ultimate mid-week escape.** This isn't just a random night out, it's a community builder. We pack the first half of the night with interactive social games and casual ice-breakers, followed by a legendary karaoke showdown where every singer is entered to win a $50 bar tab! Then, after the show, it's the FREE after party! Come solo or bring your homies, either way you will be locked into a whole new circle of friends. **Special MEETUP discounted tickets only $15!** Tickets: [https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1999018081895](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1999018081895) Promo Code: MEETUP ***How does it work?*** We meet at World Square Bar at 8pm. Our hosts will scan your ticket, give you a wristband and your first drink voucher. Here we'll have our first drink and get to know each other before heading to the next venue. The hosts will give everybody a heads up a few minutes before it's time to leave. We go to each venue as a group. **You must enter with the group to get your drink voucher.** Tickets are normally $25 online or $40 for walk ups, which is a huge value, but exclusively for Meetup, save an additional $10 with promo code MEETUP to get all this for only $15! (Plus Eventbrite booking fee) ***\*Must purchase online with the code to get the discounted ticket, otherwise it's $40 on arrival.*** Don't worry about joining alone. That's the whole point... Come solo and leave with new friends! There's a big mix of backpackers, students, and locals. Please ignore if our Meetup RSVPs are low, there's always a big group as we promote on multiple channels!
