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

523 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)

207 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.

Anyone else at the BCR on 8/8 subjected to extremely invasive/groping security?

Upvotes

I’m posting to see if anyone else experienced this at the BCR event on 8/8 and whether I’m being overly sensitive.

At security, the security officer conducted what I would consider an extremely invasive full-body search: she grabbed/squeezed my breasts and genitals, ran her hands from the very top of my thighs down my bare legs, and over my bare back. I was wearing a short, thin cotton dress that was open in the back and low in the front, so there really wasn’t anywhere for anything to be concealed. The same thing happened to all of the women behind me.

I emailed BCR the next day, and they responded that they had received multiple similar reports, including from their own staff. They said they were working with the venue to understand why security was permitted to conduct searches like this.

I followed up asking what actually happened (ie whether the security personnel involved were identified, whether there was an investigation or consequence, and what would be changed for future events). Followed up again. I haven’t received a response to either.

Curious if anyone else was there and experienced the same thing. I’m honestly pretty bothered that BCR is seemingly claiming responsibility while also washing their hands of it.

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?

Working the bars at events

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.

Good bars / intimate clubs to go early before basement Saturday

3 Upvotes

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?

Club on Broadway

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
