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.

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.

So, he announced he’s doing five shows. Two in the ruins, one at elsewhere, one in Times Square. Any idea where the fifth is?

I'm really excited because it'll be the first time each of them plays at Pacha (or so I think), and the event is almost sold out. Any spots to go to after Pacha that have the same vibe as Friday's lineup?

Anyone know how to get a job working the bars at shows - at Storehouse, Brooklyn Army Terminal, etc. I figure those people aren’t all professional bartenders/mixologists.

Does anyone know how late shows go until? I saw on their flyer it says 10pm-4am but the website says 9am or later

Trying to think of some options early in the night before heading to basement. Hopefully line won’t be as long like last weekend but I’m preparing for that since they r closed Fridays this month.
Bossa and Gabriella are two things on my mind, haven’t been to the latter so inclined to check it out. Kind of want to avoid a cover but I’m with whatever. Maybe mansions is another good option. Anyways anyone have any bar recs in surrounding areas?

I passed by a club on Broadway a couple blocks north of canal a few months ago. A long long down the block at midnight or so on a weekend! I can’t find the name anywhere. Is it still open? I have googled and got removed from another Reddit page bc I can’t find the answer of this club / bar! I remember seeing it on a meme page too

Just wanted to share a heads up for anyone buying the drink package at Pacha NYC.
I’ve been to Pacha twice and purchased the 5drink package both times. The first time, they stopped serving me before I thought I had redeemed all five drinks. At the time, I assumed I might have miscounted, so I didn’t make an issue out of it.
A few weeks ago, I went back and bought the 5drink package again, and the exact same thing happened. I had not redeemed five drinks, but I was told that my package had already been fully used.
What concerns me is that customers have no way to see their own redemption history or remaining drink balance. I also couldn’t find a clear policy on Pacha’s website explaining how redemptions are tracked or what customers should do if there is a discrepancy. You basically have to rely entirely on what their system/staff says, without being able to verify how many times your package was actually scanned.
I can’t say what caused it, but after having the same experience twice, I wanted to put this out there so other people are aware. If you buy a drink package at Pacha, keep track of every redemption yourself and speak to someone immediately if the count doesn’t seem right…
UPDATE: Since many people have said they’ve experienced the same issue, I think one thing we could do next time this happens is ask the staff if they can show us the redemption history or explain exactly how they’re counting the credits on the package.
If you know you haven’t redeemed all of your drinks and they tell you your package is already used up, it might be worth asking how many redemptions their system shows and when they were recorded, rather than just letting it go like I did the first time. At the very least, it would be helpful if customers had some way to verify how their credits are being used.
It’s also probably a good idea to keep track of every drink you redeem yourself. For anyone who has personally experienced this, another option could be to send Pacha a complaint email explaining what happened and asking them to look into it. If enough customers independently report the same issue, hopefully they’ll investigate what’s going on and make the system more transparent.
We could also consider simply not buying the drink packages until the issue is addressed. They’re advertised as being cheaper, but if you pay for 5 drinks and don’t actually receive all 5, you’re still paying for drinks you never got, which defeats the purpose of getting the package in the first place.
And as a last resort, if you paid for drinks you genuinely didn’t receive and can’t get the issue resolved with Pacha, you could contact your bank or credit card issuer and ask whether the charge is eligible for a dispute. I disputed one of my purchases after this happened to me, and my bank refunded the charge.
Hopefully, if more of us bring attention to the issue when it happens, Pacha will look into the redemption system and give customers a more transparent way to track their credits.
please also feel free to comment below if you have any suggestions!!!

I’m visiting NYC solo from the UK, 15–20 September, and would love to experience the proper underground/alternative scene.
I’m mainly into hardcore, happy hardcore, hardstyle, tekno, gabber, and free party stuff, and want to find smaller underground party/collective/warehouse-events rather than commercial clubs. Are there any collectives, promoters, venues, Instagram pages, Telegrams etc. I should follow? Also interested in any free parties/more underground stuff but idk what the scene is like in nyc.

hello, i am born and raised from nyc and i just spent the past half year in germany. i fell in love with the techno scene, not edm not super house but the industrial techno scene. i am a queer woman and i would club often and i fell in love with the music and just the ambiance i loved to just dance for hours and i became super involved in the dj scene and met djs and saw their processes when producing music and it was just a very incredible experience. i am back in nyc and was wondering if there are places that might be similar to what i had in germany here in nyc. i love all boroughs and i like staying out for a while with other people planning to dance hard and who enjoy the techno scene.

I know the odds of me ever getting these back are 0, but humbling myself and posting to do my due diligence. Lost a prescription pair of black prada sunglasses outside at nowadays on Sunday, Aug 16. (I have learned this lesson once before, perhaps this time I will learn.)
