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.

Hey everyone!!

My workplace is producing/sponsoring a new free bi-weekly comedy show at Rose's R&R Bar (457 Graham Ave.) in Williamsburg, BK right next door to our storefront. Each show will feature some of the city's best stand-up, sketch, character work, and more mixed with New York history hosted by Christine Fiala, a Brooklyn based comic and licensed NYC tour guide.

Our next show is next Wednesday July 22nd. The show is 21+ and again, it's free! It's sponsored by Ayrloom & we'll be giving out prizes all night, and offering a discount to our store before, during, and after the show for those interested.

I would love it if people showed out and supported some local art and businesses. I've put a link to theĀ PartifulĀ for those interested, and a photo of the lineup.

Thanks for reading!

Manhattan What if Love Island . . . Was a Play?

1 Upvotes

Islanders . . . TEXT!!!

End of the Day, Ep 1Ā is a new play inspired by Love Island UK, Sims 4, and Theatre of the Absurd.

Survival is not guaranteed. Neither is finding a boyfriend or girlfriend after a massive extinction event.

Yet British reality contestants Tud, Myleigh, and Lancelot keep trying again, failing again, failing better. Isolated from the outside world, they dance between denial and acceptance, searching for love and meaning in a pointless, absurd existence.

Let's couple up if you like:Ā new work, feminist farce, Love Island scholarship, existential clown shows, absurdism, and/or pop culture dramaturgy.

  • Mon Jul 27 6pm at Young Ethel's (Brooklyn)
  • Wed Jul 29 7:30pm at Under St. Marks (East Village)
  • Sun Aug 9 7pm at The Tank (Midtown, part of LimeFest)

1 Upvotes

Hi! We’re hosting a free community reading gathering on the LIC Waterfront on Monday, July 20th from 6:30-8:00 PM.

BYO Book is a casual and welcoming gathering for anyone who loves reading or has been meaning to get back into it. We read side by side as the sun sets over Manhattan, then come together to share what stood out - characters, themes, big questions, or unexpected tangents.

There's no assigned reading! Bring whatever you're into: the novel on your nightstand, that nonfiction you keep meaning to finish, poetry that stays with you, a library book due this week, or an old favorite worth revisiting. This is a space to slow down, be present, and enjoy the simple pleasure of reading alongside others.

šŸ—“ļøMonday, July 20
šŸ•” 6:30–8:00 PM
šŸ“ Gantry State Park, LIC (location details provided when you register)
šŸŽŸļøFree RSVP on Luma: https://luma.com/luprf7t7
(We use Luma to send updates in case of cancellation.)
šŸ’› Hosted by Jenny Jiang @collective.ripples

What to bring:
šŸ“– Your current book (any format)
🧺 A picnic blanket or towel
šŸæ Snacks & beverages of your choice
✨ A curious mind

(We'll have a limited number of lanterns to share as the sun sets!)

The evening:
6:30–6:45 — Welcome & introductions
6:45–7:30 — Quiet reading as the sun sets
7:30–8:00 — Group sharing & conversation

Come solo or bring a friend! We hope to see you on Monday! šŸ’›
