Hi Deepak, I'll have a closer look.

For public venues, we need to be able to verify the venue's address. We current use bing maps API for geocoding addresses. With the query provided we are not able to look up and verify the address.

http://www.bing.com/maps/#Y3A9NDAuNzI1NzAwfi03My45OTU3OTYmbHZsPTQmc3R5PXImcT01dGglMjBTdHJlZXQlMjBOVyUyQyUyMG5lYXIlMjBDb25zdGl0dXRpb24lMjBBdmVudWUlMjBOVyUyQyUyMFZhcmFuYXNpJTJDJTIwSW5kaWE=

Note, the postal code may be omitted from your request. These are the currently supported parameters http://www.meetup.com/meetup_api/docs/:urlname/venues/#createparams

address_1_error seems to happen for addresses that aren't unique, is that true?

I've been unable to add the same address twice without getting the address_1_error (message: invalid). It works the first time though.

Yes. We do this to avoid creating duplicate venues that would show up in results.
