A social event is never meant to provide "enough food for everybody",
except you're going to pay EUR 50 for the event, which I assume you
won't.
The problem is simple, for serving food for 500 people, you'll have to
own good logistics, and kitchen and personal, which cost a hell of
money, which makes organising a social event for so many people
horribly expensive. Hence, even for a normal ticket fee of EUR 25 it
is not possible to provide enough food to fill people up to last until
midnight.
Additionally, for some locations, you can only contract certain
partner companies that have extra prices. Extra doesn't mean low in
this case unfortunately.

That'll happen on all three meetings anyway.
