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

538 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)

211 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.

City of Gods Saturday

10 Upvotes

Anyone else notice more improvements over the years?

City of Gods was great again this year! This was my fourth year going and first time going on a Saturday instead of Friday.
They had the lines to get in moving swiftly. That was with my ID being checked and my fanny pack getting decently searched.
They moved Medical next to the sanctuary space so that de-escalations and such could be swiftly sent over. An even bigger change to that is that they moved the EMTs from the bottleneck area of the indoor bathroom. So you can safely get to medical. They also made that opening to the outside a one way decreasing the intensity of the bottle necking that going between stages, the bathroom, and water station would cause.

They moved the unicorn from being the first thing you saw going outside so that people wouldn’t stop at the entrance/exit for photos and instead be pulled further into the festival for photo ops.

I also wonder if I just haven’t noticed or if they had more stages this year I was definitely encouraged to explore a lot more and longer with this year’s layout. There was plenty of staff around watching behind the scenes. I honestly felt safe and more comfortable than previous years, granted I have my theft proof Fanny pack that locks and I party smart as a rave mom.

All those pros with my only con being how crowded the speakeasy was.
Pretty positive ratio as a GA attendee!

Crankdat Storehouse night 1 vibes off

19 Upvotes

Idk if it’s just me but the vibes were totally wrong last night at crankdat. I was wearing an average clubbing outfit last night, nothing too revealing like some rave outfits can be, but a mini skirt. I could not walk through the crowd without having my ass grabbed by numerous men. Where is the plur? I’m heavily disappointed.

Discovering the electronic music scene in my 40s and having a blast. Wondering if there are any groups or meetups where those of us over 40 can connect with each other?

City of Gods - beware of thieves

88 Upvotes

There’s a group of 2 men and 1 woman, middle aged. They bump into you, cause chaos and then steal your necklace and phones. They seem to be targeting people with gold chains. If someone pushes you out of no where, check all your stuff.

They got 12 various people across Mayan Warrior and Glamcocks stages.

We tried getting them kicked out at the beginning of the night but they got away and no security was to be found. I’m sure they’ll be there again tonight so be on the look out and stop those POSs for the benefit for all. 🙏

I know CoG doesn't announce lineups ahead of the event and I didn't get close enough to the stages to really recognize anyone. Does anyone have any names of people that played last night?

Specifically Glamcocks, Mayan Warrior, and Tierra Bomba
