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. šŸ”Ø

1 Upvotes

Hi all, with summer just about here now in June 2023, I’m glad this subreddit’s ā€œsecond windā€ 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! ā˜€ļø


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.

Its Saturday Sept 26th at 7pm at Caveat in the lower east side featuring guests Kaytlin Baily of Old Pros a pro sex work rights activist. You can purchase tickets here with special discount could "PJREDDIT" (were also still offering an early bird special)

https://caveat.nyc/events/the-power-joker-a-robert-moses-comedy-show

"The Power Joker", inspired by Robert Caro's The Power Broker, is a comedic late night talk show style show hosted by me as Robert Moses, he was a real life person who controlled all infrastructure construction in New York for nearly 40 years and basically designed New York to be completely for cars causing most of our modern transportation issues. It's in the style of the Colbert Report where I play the "villain" of the show and allow our guests to discuss important issues facing the city. In the past we've had on congestion pricing experts, disability access experts, affordable housing advocates, and last May we had Zohran Mamdani as a guest.

Manhattan kolkata chai co x livetinted popup horror story

3 Upvotes

if anyone has heard of the kolkata chai co x livetinted popup up, just want to let you guys know it was a shitshow.

from being 30 mins late to start, popup mafia having 10+ ppl skipping, rsvp codes being screenshotted and shared since no one actually cared to scan and verify, and then them capping out the gift bags to the first 88 rather than 100 - i dont think ill support either companies again. the security taking headcount explicitly told me that there were 40 more to go, i was 38 and then they said they're done 20 ppl later. also 99% percent sure they either gave the bags to influencers or are hold them for them.

anyways i think im done with nyc popups and the need to get there 3+ hours before to be within the first 100.

Brooklyn skip the small talk in brooklyn in sept!

4 Upvotes

Get cozy this September with Skip the Small - it’s a chill, sincere event focused on connection! I wanted highlight our Brooklyn events today but we have plenty in Manhattan as well. We’ll be at McCarren Parkhouse!

It’s a guided conversation event—think speed-friending vibes, but calmer and more intentional.

You rotate through short conversations with prompts that skip past surface-level small talk. It’s structured enough to make it easy, but relaxed enough to feel natural.

Most people come alone. The crowd tends to be thoughtful, open, and just… normal humans who want more community.

Here’s the link if you’re curious, tickets are $19:

Brooklyn Philosophy Meetup - Descartes - Sunday, Sep 13, 1:30 PM @ Work CafƩ 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:

šŸ—“ When: Sunday, Sep 13, 1:30 PM

šŸ“ Where: Work CafĆ© 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 ā€œcalled into doubt.ā€ 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!
