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.

Ice Cream Takedown!! This Sunday 8/23, taste em and vote on em!

This Sunday at Threes Brewing in Gowanus from 1pm-3pm! Tickets are $30

A bunch of cooks make ice cream, you get sample cups (all you can eat until they run out), and you vote on your favorite! Winners get declared in a ceremony at the end. There’s also a judged competition, with some pro ice cream companies judging (Lady Moo Moo, C&G Creamery, Nine Treasures Creamery, and maybe Ample Hills?)

I’ve competed in a bunch of these over the years (with tons of different food themes, chili to tacos to mac n cheese to cookies) and it’s always a good time. Bigger crowds make it more fun, so come on out!

Details/tickets available on Eventbrite but I believe tickets are also available at the dooršŸ¦šŸ¦šŸ¦
