Since no one else who has attended one of these has posted, thought I'd provide some info.
I've been to several of these in other cities and in no case was the cover charge for guys the amount reflected in this thread. They were $40 and more lower and no they weren't at private homes where one wouldn't have to pay for use of the facility.
If the bar wasn't an open bar there were two other options - one to leave the bar open for a set period of time (two hours tops) and after that it was cash; or secondly, "tickets" were given to those attending for two drinks, after which it was cash bar.
I've not been to one where ladies were charged at all. And in this case I'm sure the $25 charge isn't to "incur" that is, to be subjected to more costs, but rather is to "defray" costs. Regardless, point is I haven't seen a MnG where ladies were charged.
For MnGs that I have attended in Philadelphia, the cover charge was higher but did include drinks (and food and the venue as is proposed here) and, again, the ladies were not charged.
In some cases, only TER VIPs were invited rather than "everybody". When is the cut-off for "everybody" for send their info/references ??
I've never been to one anywhere where a statement was made that ladies "are welcome to set up an incall in the area." It was advertised as a get together, a social and while everyone of course knew there would be conversation that could lead to something later, there was no reference to anyone setting up an incall or business.
I do applaud that the OP is offering to have a MnG. No one else has for quite a while. This, however, is way too open, TMI, and not cost effective for me.

Absolutely agree wheelhouse, this is my first meet and greet and perhaps can edit out what I put in my first post, however every meet and greet Ive been to the price has been $100 for gents. As far as guarantees, the only gaurantee we have in life is death, no ? LOL, the party is open to gents with REPUTABLE references. I have already turned down guys with references of ladies I have never even heard of or that are just starting out. Wheelhouse you are more than welcome to attend if you like, however, sometimes our comments are better left unsaid or backchannel. If this one goes well, then I will be doing more and always accept advice along the way.
