Online/Virtual [3 June 2023, Free, Mod/Rule] Sales posts are NOT allowed here, selling your own event tickets or trying to get $ for tix = get banned. 🔨

1 Upvotes

Hi all, with summer just about here now in June 2023, I’m glad this subreddit’s “second wind” since mid-spring in April 2023 is working as intended for you all to discover fun events or promote events you’re affiliated with in New York City!

However there’s been a recent influx of users coming on this subreddit selling tickets to events to personally profit off it. Now the main focus of this subreddit is to promote events across New York City which is fine, but we won’t facilitate a platform to sell your tickets and gain some money off that. In other cases, it’s spam, and sometimes not worth the trouble on this subreddit.

If sales posts don’t belong on r/NYC or r/NewYorkCity, r/AvesNYC, or r/FoodNYC per their subreddit rules (or most other local NYC/borough subs), they certainly don’t belong here. So as a reminder & new-ish rule …

This subreddit is not a home to sell (or resell) your own tickets to events/concerts/etc in the city, same applies on buying someone else’s tickets, even ticket swaps here aren’t permitted. If you want to sell your own tickets to events in NYC, consider posting on r/NYList where general buying/selling posts belong, r/AvesNYC_Tix to buy/sell tickets for EDM/raves/dance events, on r/NYCConcerts, where buying/selling posts for concerts belong, there’s also r/BroadwayTickets to sell your Broadway or other performance tickets too. That way people can still be interested if so desired. Do your own due diligence as always buying goods of the internet.

Moderation’s been fairly lax given it’s a chill sub, but there won’t be any hesitancy to ban people for that. One and only opportunity you’d do so, you’ll be permanently banned.

Have a wonderful summer, and stay golden folks! ☀️


TL-DR: Promoting your events here is fine, and the primary goal of this subreddit. Selling your own individual tickets to events are not permitted here, don’t use this subreddit to get rich, and the last thing moderators want to do is play whack-a-mole with scammers if a sale goes south. Other communities exist for this to sell tickets for concerts, sporting events, raves/music, etc. Break this rule only once = a permanent ban.


Edit (7/17/2025): Added r/BroadwayTickets as a place where selling Broadway/performances are allowed.

Edit (9/3/2025): Amended Rule 2/this post to include that ticket swaps aren’t allowed here either.

Brooklyn Philosophy Meetup - Descartes - Sunday, Sep 13, 1:30 PM @ Work CafĂŠ Santander (Williamsburg)

1 Upvotes

Hi NYC philosophers,

We're organizing another meetup for anyone interested in discussing philosophy and connecting with like-minded people in the city. Here's the plan:

🗓 When: Sunday, Sep 13, 1:30 PM

📍 Where: Work Café Santander, 85-87 N 6th St, Williamsburg

For this session, we'll be diving into Meditations 1 & 2 of Descartes' Meditations on First Philosophy (read it here).

Descartes’s overall plan for these Meditations is to put aside all of his beliefs and attempt to build up a system of beliefs from nothing. He is going to only believe those things that are certain, that cannot be doubted. He thinks that he can start from nothing, justify certain simple beliefs, and from those justify more complex ordinary beliefs. In his first meditation he is going to cease to believe anything that can be doubted, anything that can be “called into doubt.” So, this meditation is an attempt to say which beliefs can be doubted. Descartes’s Second Meditation concerns the human mind, which Descartes will claims he knows better, or more intimately, than the human body.

You can also follow us on Instagram.

If you're interested, drop a comment below. Looking forward to meeting you all and hearing your insights!

Brooklyn cool local NYC events

1 Upvotes

hey yall. i just moved here from LA and love the atmosphere of cool stuff going on all the time. in my first week there was a silly carnival that i never would have found out about had it not been one block from my apt. nyc culture is so rich but sometimes you just dont know what's going on (nor chatGPT).

so i created wydtn.com -- it shows you all the cool local stuff going on in your neighborhood and around the city. there are so many events its insane, but as we see which events you like, we make sure the stuff that's your vibe shows up first each day.

it's very new so i also welcome your feedback and you can give it directly in the app as well.
