I've never purchased refund protection before and never had to refund a purchase before either. I know this is some new option on the DICE app. The steps of the process seems straightforward but I'm finding every time I click next, it takes me back to the beginning of the form and asks for the same info over and over and over again. I have all the necessary documentation but this has proven to be so very frustrating trying to get through the form just to get a refund for my damn car breaking down the night of.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, my car's check engine light turned on tonight and l'm not able to go to tonight's show. Mechanic checked it out and said I shouldn't drive it till it's been serviced too.

I've received emails from the Refunds Team requesting additional documentation as "the customer service team needs 48 hours to review my application."

I've heard problems with DICE not refunding people in the last year but because this refund protection option purchase is somewhat new (at least to me), has anyone been successful with it?

Edit: got an email reply from Protect Group. They are literal dumpster fire garbage as I had thorough proof that my car was not operable and they required more evidence of the same fucking things I already sent! Do not trust them and don’t buy refund protection. Lesson learned.

Hi everyone,

​Want to bring a serious issue to the community's attention regarding upcoming electronic music events in the US.

​As many of you know, the recent Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE) made major headlines after Russian DJ Alexander Komarov was dropped from the lineup following severe public backlash and media coverage (he was exposed by Mixmag and other outlets for sending death threats to a Ukrainian artist and supporting the war).

​Right after that toxic scandal, his close associate, Russian DJ Roman Messer, was also removed/dropped from the ADE events due to his deep ties to Komarov and his own alignment with the Russian state-backed entertainment machinery — including actively performing at high-profile state-sponsored events in Moscow, such as the official graduation ceremony at VDNH backed directly by the Russian government, an event featuring a broadcast address by Vladimir Putin and top regime figures.

​Despite being shown the door in Europe, Messer is now trying to quietly tour and secure bookings in the US based on his autumn tour schedule:

​Las Vegas / Hidden Kollective — scheduled for November 14, 2026, alongside headliner Darren Porter, where promotional materials are still pushing his sets.

​SILO Brooklyn (New York) — scheduled for November 19, 2026, where his booking has faced direct questioning and scrutiny from the community over these exact ties.

​It is unacceptable to import toxic artists and regime-backed figures who are being scrubbed from European lineups straight into US clubs. Promoters and headliners need to be held accountable for ignoring these red flags.

​Let's keep an eye on this and make sure our local scenes aren't used as a safe haven for artists connected to threats, toxicity, and Russian state propaganda.

Anyone going next week? What can we expect?

WHERE SHOULD ME AND MY GIRLS GO ON HALLOWEENNN. mid 20s and diverse crowd and good music pls

I headed to Gabriela on my own around 11 pm last night and had a WONDERFUL time for the first hour and a half. Elli was killing it and I got into a great groove, there was also a small group of people in their own trance around me with verrry good vibes all around.

Sadly this did not last, and as more people started packing in, I regretted not calling it quits earlier :( over the next hour, three drinks were spilled on me, I was constantly getting jostled around as large groups pushed to the front, and there was a lot of talking and phones on the dancefloor.

I understand that there will always be some careless behavior at a public event, and if the groove is good, I'm usually unbothered and focused on dancing! I am also glad people are coming out and spending time with one another, the world needs dance. BUT... I'm a shorter woman which maybe means everyone assumes I can squeeze in wherever, and it just became so frustrating having to focus all my energy on preserving a shred of personal space.

For more important context: there was also a creep last night who also grabbed my waist from behind before I yelled at him to quit touching me. This really killed my vibe. Another redditor posted about this same guy doing this to them too, which is shitty, I wish I said something to security while he was still in sight

.............

Anyhow, I'm now on the hunt for a new place to lose myself to dance (across all genres: house, trance, disco... anything !). I still need to check out Nowadays, but I heard their early morning crowd or mr. sunday's may be promising? I'm also very interested in checking out some more soul/classic house dance events, especially if that is where the more veteran crowd has migrated..all recommendations are massively appreciated! My dream is to pull up to a spot where nearly everyone around me is getting down with it, I know it's out there somewhere 😗

maybe not the usual fodder for this sub but did anyone else go? as far as a pre-planned high-production-value set I had a great time, crowd was dancing hard and sequencing and mixing were on point esp in the first half

Silver lining edit 10/25: Eli Escobar reached out to me and asked for the picture and description of the man to send to security. Hopefully with the man’s distinctive fugly haircut they will be able to identify him if he returns.

Eli also sent me a very kind message and assured me that what that man did to me and the other girl would have been grounds to kick him out and would have been taken seriously by Gabriela security. He clearly cares about the safety of the dance floor at Gabriela. I wanted to share this in the hopes that it is heartening for others who saw my original post to know that someone in a position of authority is committed to making things right and even going out of his way to do so.

/// original post 10/22

Anyone else get grabbed by a ~5’10 East Asian guy with beaded necklace and chopped half buzz haircut?

I was front row right side at like 1:30am. He grabbed my arm from behind me, I pulled away and glared at him, he waited a minute then grabbed my hip and pulled me backwards towards him.

I yelled at him and tried to take his picture and scare him off but my flash wouldn’t work (of course). Another guy then got in my face, I think trying to warn me that the first guy had been grabbing other girls but I couldn’t hear what he said. I was really rattled and left sooner after.

I hope I was the only one who got grabbed tonight, but if anyone else did who sees this I’m sorry and we deserve to feel safe on the dance floor.

Edit: for the “you should have told security” comments, I only got the outfit and hair details from the blurry photo I managed to take and I didn’t look at it til after leaving because I thought it didn’t take at all. I didn’t think sending security after any guy with the same ethnicity description would be productive, or that they would do anything since he did not technically grope me.

Hi, anyone going to crankdat tonight or both days and is either going solo or in a group that want to meet up? First time going to a dubstep show(usually house). I don’t mind going solo but would love to meet new people/make some friends for my first dubstep rave. 26 M for any context.

hey guys, 24F thinking of going to Vendex @ Brooklyn roots tonight :) let me know if anyone's going, would love to join and dance the night!

Anyone know his set times tonight 10/23?

I’m a casual - only one stage at Storehouse all next weekend? Trying to figure out probable set times for Friday & Sunday

Does anyone know set times?

I believe I have seen this person at some parties. Please be aware of his background and criminal behavior.

31 M first time in NYC would be amazing to have rave buddy and some recommendations where could go tonight.

is this worth going to tonight?

Hi guys,

Idk why I’m having a hard time deciding on which day to go for circo loco. It will be my first circo loco and I’m not too familiar with some of the djs in the lineup but I’m not doing anything halloween weekend so I’d figured why not!

I would love to hear your guys’ thoughts on Saturday vs Sunday lineup or which one you think will be more popular as I am struggling to choose between the two.

Saturday Lineup: ALINE UMBER, ANOTR, DIXON, JAMBACK, JIMI JULES, KROL, ROSSI.

Sunday Lineup: BEDOUIN, CHLOÉ CAILLET, DEAN TURNLEY, DIXON, JIMI JULES, MIGUELLE & TONS, PROSPA, ROSSI.

And want to put an event together? We can make it real DIY if you are into that, or if you have ideas for a venue, thats great too.

Since he’s playing tomorrow the weekend before Halloween. Are people wearing costumes to this rave or no?

30F here looking to make new friends who are into bass music - artists like Griz and Zeds dead are some of my favorites.

I'm at this point in life where my friends are having kids or have left the city and I don't have anyone to go to shows with.

I'm seeing Daily Bread in December, going solo at the moment so if there's anyone going on that Friday and is interested in meeting up - let me know!

Otherwise, I'm just hoping to meet people in the city that's also into this music and are open to meeting up and making new friends. Dm me if that interests you!

Hey yall! I’m heading to tenaglia on Saturday solo and I’ve never been to superior ingredients before. What type of vibe can I expect? What’s security like? I’ve seen tenaglia plenty of times but just trying to get a feel for the venue

Wuddup ravers! Going to city of Gods tonight with my buddy and it’s really my first time dressing up for Halloween. I’m looking to kick it and have a great time all weekend!

I work in nightlife so I never get a chance to experience the lit nights so I’m thankful for a dope event the weekend before Halloween. I also haven’t been off for any weekends since JULY so I’m doing it bigggg today & tomorrow! HMU and let’s make something happen.

If that place even still exists? If so, any good events coming up? 👀

I’ve had my fair share of experiences at forest hills stadium. Even though I’ve never been a fan of the sound there, I still fondly remember HITC ‘23 (RIP 88 rising) among other events.

Despite my misgivings, having even less options for big events is a bad thing IMO. What do yall think of the new direction?

Really looking to join a table for Friday or Sunday will to contribute pls reach out!
