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

What’s your recovery regimen?
I’m usually sober but am trying to help a friend develop a healthier non-rave / rave balance and thought this community would have some answers that are both enlightening and entertaining. If you’re partying all night Friday, what are you doing Saturday / Sunday / Monday / Tuesday / Wednesday to stay positive, process your time, keep the scaries at bay, and keep the wheels on the car.
anything from “I get pho for breakfast” to “I go to Spa 88“ to “I smoke a joint and eat vitamin C”. Thank you friends.

Miming breaking a stick when you want to take a break
I was always led to believe that everyone understood that a friend miming breaking a stick with their hands on the dance floor was signaling they wanted to take a break. I’ve now had two completely distinct friend groups not have a clue what I was doing.
Anyone else use this? Is this really a crew-specific signal?

Pacha Corrupt Security
Had a security approach me and take my bag. Said he should be escorting me out but said “but I can work with you, what do you want to do.” I said can I buy it back and after quick negotiation I agreed to $50. (Funny enough i agreed to $40, only had a $50 and asked for a 10 back… of course he goes “yeah right” 😂)
In the end not sure if he was even real security but this was early in the night and I didn’t feel like taking the risk. And also did want my bag back..
Fyi, it’s completely on me for not being discrete. Not trying to deflect blame. I’d rather pay 50 and keep my bag too than even have him take it, or to be kicked out.
Just a heads up to lay low and be careful out there.
Edit: Because too many comments to reply to.
I am thankful for this corrupt security guard. I wasn’t kicked out and I was able to enjoy the rest of my night with what I originally brought.
Someone called it the idiot tax.. and I agree thats exactly what I saw it as.
Intention of this post wasn’t to cry about it, just to tell my funny story and also give a heads up that they’re out there looking. I was doing something illegal and I’m aware of that lmao. Been getting bolder over the years doing that shit out in the open since nothing ever happened, so this was a perfect humbling scenario.
$50 for a get out of jail free card, stay at the venue, and still have my bag… yeah I hit the jackpot and had a good laugh with my friends about it after. Thank you corrupt security guard, please never change for anyone.

Wire Fest Merch Not Shipped?
I ordered a tshirt before the festival and it never shipped. Did anybody else have this issue and was it resolved? I’ve emailed 3-4 different KDC and Wirefest email addresses over the last 4 weeks and no acknowledgement at all.

New here looking for clubs

[8/06] Blade rave at Brooklyn monarch. Has anyone been to the Blade Rave before? Also first time at The Brooklyn Monarch – what to expect?
Hey everyone,
Ive been seeing ads of this event on ig lately. I have a few questions for anyone who’s gone in the past or knows the venue well.
Music and vibe: How is the DJ set/music selection? Is it mostly hard techno/goth/industrial, or something else ?
Crowd and outfits: is everyone going all out in goth/vampire/cyberpunk gear, or is the standard all black normal too?
Would love to hear any tips or thoughts from anyone who’s gone before! Thanks in advance 🙏

Oscar G at Superior Ingredients - Venue vibe check
Hi Friends! Reading super mixed feedback on Superior Ingredients, and would love to hear from people who have been recently.
Backstory: We're a group of 4 rave mommies from New England. We've been to Output & Verboten back in the day, Space, old NYC Pacha, etc. Most recently went to Refuge and love the vibe. We want to check out new Pacha since our last visit was Gorgon City at Mirage a couple of years ago, but aren't sure we want an all nighter (already know that will change around 8pm when the vibes are high lol).
We've been excited to see Oscar G next week on the roof, but now I'm feeling anxious the vibes will be giving finance and there will be no room to dance... We genuinely just want to prioritize space to move while dancing in the sunshine lol
Talk me off the ledge! Are the threads here hyper critical or is it worth the visit?

7/24 - 7/25
Thinking about a solo trip to the city this weekend, looks like frost fest is sold out, what else are y'all excited for Friday or Saturday night? Any help planning a killer weekend is much appreciated! I'd love to find a fun group to go out with as well. I'm into house and groove, but basically down for anything if the vibes are good.
I'm laid back, fun, and just trying to get my dance on, 29M. Inbox is open
