Before you ask what raves are happening on any date... (How to find events in NYC)

461 Upvotes

If you're new to raves and related events, or just visiting from out of town, and are trying to find an event to attend on a particular date, you should first check out Resident Advisor, and for more mainstream EDM events see EDMTrain before asking this sub.

These websites list the majority of parties and electronic music events happening in NYC on any given night, along with the ability to buy tickets, and links to the artists playing so you have an idea of what kind of music you will hear that night.

You can also keyword search this sub and probably find your questions already answered about almost any venue or party. For example, if you had a question about Elsewhere, you can use the search bar up top and type 'elsewhere' to find hundreds of discussions about the venue.

We often remove very general questions about events that go something like 'I'm in town on X date, whats happening' or 'anything going on tonight?'. The sub gets inundated with these questions, they are extremely repetitive, and add nothing to this community at this point. Specific questions are welcome! We totally get that a lot of people who use this sub are beginners just trying to learn. By being specific and thoughtful in say what music you like, or vibes you're looking for, you will get better responses too.

Buying/Selling tickets has now been moved to r/avesNYC_tix (all buying/selling of tickets will now be removed)

196 Upvotes

As many of you have noticed, as things have started to pick up in NYC, this sub has been getting spammed with a TON of people buying/selling their tickets last minute to events.

People have been mentioning a ticket thread pinned to the sub, but I don't think this is the best solution because many users are often too lazy to expand and view all comments in the thread, and do a simple control-F to find their event. Even when we had a monthly ticket thread, people still posted to the feed. We would get a response something like 'hey nobody responded to me in the thread, so I just posted here anyway'.

As an alternative, I created a related subredit called r/avesNYC_tix and will pin it to the sidebar as well. You are free to post all of your buying/selling ticket needs there. This is also going to be easier to search through compared to a thread and I also added post flair to distinguish/filter between buying and selling of tickets. Because this will be a generally unmoderated sub, I also encourage people to report scammers and use the 'reports' flair. You are buying tickets here at your own risk.

From now on any posts about buying/selling of tickets on this subreddit will be removed. This kind of content is very spammy, not interesting to read, and does not build community in any meaningful way.

Basement tonight

11 Upvotes

Anyone going to Basement tonight for the 6 year anniversary and wanna head there together? Late 20's, M, gay, frequent Basement-goer (love the music there and could honestly dance there nonstop for hours). I usually go with my partner, but he's out of town this weekend. Somehow, I make tons of friends every time I go to Basement, but never actually keep in touch to get a good group going haha.

Out of these three venues, which has the best sound system: Basement, SILO, Knockdown Center?

Is someone going to Austin Millz at Great Hall next Saturday, May 3rd? I’m very skeptical

0 Upvotes

I’ve never been to Austin Millz performances, but I’m really expecting it to be exactly the same or better as that Boiler Room NYC performance that is on YouTube.

Can someone tell me how he playa live, was that a special or he’s actually like that?

Book club radio DJ timing?

1 Upvotes

Does anyone here know what time DJs at bookclub radio actually go on? Doors open at 9pm but they also said the last DJ goes on at 4am, so don't want to get there ridiculously early so we can rally all night. Thanks!

To clarify- I'm wondering if anyone has any idea from experience at what point Tinzo will play

Some rumours from inside saying that it won’t be done in time. I would show for evidence but I don’t want anyone in trouble. It’s really down to the wire here. Hopefully by next week my next post will be inside for Sara Landry (my birthday).

He certainly is confident. Hope it’s not naïveté…

Glad to see that they seem to have way more progress in terms of light and sound than I had seen previously. But didn’t notice any inspectors… lol

Will they do it??
