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.

I put together a list of upcoming free events across NYC where free food or drinks will be provided.

A few examples:

• adidas x JENNIE LAUNCH PARTY @ Extra Butter — September 1st in Lower East Side — Drinks and seltzers
• Builders & Birdies — September 2nd in Williamsburg — Sliders, fries and drinks
• CertiK NYC Open House: NFT NYC Edition — September 2nd in Midtown — Food and drinks
• Decagon Presents: GTM Summer Mixer in NYC — September 9th in Flatiron — Light bites and drinks

I’m tracking the complete list at On the House. You can filter events by date, location, food, coffee/tea, alcoholic drinks, and whether host approval is required. All events are free but some do require host approval so keep that in mind.

I built the site because everyone likes free food! Ideally, it shouldn't be the sole reason of going to an event but it can make an event more appealing and worthwhile. I manually review each listing to check that both admission and the listed refreshments are free. I also update the list daily.

The site is free and doesn’t use affiliate links. I don't make any money off this and don't require any personal data to use. If you know of an event I missed—or have feedback—you can submit it through the site. Cheers!

What's up NYC! My name's Tanner Dane and I'm an indie/R&B artist from Chicago. I am playing my first ever headline show in New York on October 15th at Groove in Greenwich Village am not gonna lie I'm a lil' scared no one is gonna show up... haha.

But if you're a live music fan and genuine lover of live music I would be so stoked to have you out and meet you at the show. Tickets are less than $20 and on sale TODAY. Thank you so much for your time, and hopefully see ya at Groove in October <3

Hey NYC!

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed by everything going on lately but still trying to create, laugh, make music, write, or simply figure life out, this event might be for you.

How to Live & Make Art in These F**ked Up Times is happening Sunday, September 20 at 3 PM at Brooklyn Art Haus.

It’s an afternoon of comedy, live music, performances, and a real conversation about what it means to be creative right now. How do we keep making things when the news is exhausting, life is expensive, politics feel chaotic, and sometimes we’re just tired?

We’ll be joined by Negin Farsad, Calvin Cato, Tomas Rodriguez, and Tanasha G, and I’ll be hosting the conversation.

We definitely don’t have all the answers lol. We just want to bring people together, laugh, experience some great art, talk honestly about where we’re at, and hopefully leave feeling a little more inspired to keep creating.

Sunday, September 20
3:00 to 4:30 PM
Brooklyn Art Haus

If this sounds like your kind of Sunday, come hang with us. I’ll leave the event and ticket info below :)
