Let\u2019s meet at the mall<\/a> \u2014 after hours.<\/p>\n

For the first time ever on September 5, South Bay<\/a>\u2019s Eastridge Center \u2014 a 55-year-old shopping center that, at its opening in 1971, was the largest of its kind on the West Coast at the time \u2014 will be hosting a large rave party, cheekily coined Mallorama.<\/p>\n

Organizers are touting the after-hours event, which will take place from 9 p.m. (when the mall typically closes on Fridays and Saturdays) to 2 a.m. the next day in the mall\u2019s center court, as a \u201ctakeover at the Eastridge Mall.\u201d<\/p>\n

Per a social media post by San Jose Foos, an event promotion brand that appears to be co-promoting the event with Brownies & Lemonade (though Something New, DJ Dials and 15Utah are also listed on the ad<\/a>), the one-of-a-kind event will be \u201cbringing a full stage, sound, lighting and a secret lineup of DJs<\/a> you can\u2019t miss\u201d \u2014 complete with full staff and security to ensure the night runs smoothly.<\/p>\n

They then added that those curious about the mall\u2019s general offerings should visit them regularly for the center\u2019s additional events and shops, which include mall staples like Auntie Anne\u2019s and AMC Theatres.<\/p>\n

During the event, where instead of shopping til they drop, guests can party hard, the majority of the mall\u2019s stores will be closed, but certain food options will still be available for business.<\/p>\n

Guests for the mall event will party hard, rather than shopping until they drop. Instagram\/@sanjosefoos<\/p>\n

While would-be guests for the one-night-only shopping center soir\u00e9e can visit the site Something New Club<\/a>, which will direct visitors to sign up for presale tickets (which went live at 9 a.m. PT this morning) through text, which will then direct them to the Eventbrite page, the easiest way to snag a spot is to simply visit the shindig\u2019s Eventbrite page<\/a> directly.<\/p>\n

While General Admission Tier 1, 2 and 3 tickets (which were broken down by availability, not event offerings, and had been sold for $48.03, $53.69 and $59.35, respectively and each including site fees) are now sold out, Tier 4 tickets are still available for $65. A \u201clast chance\u201d ticket offering is also listed for $70.66, though sales have not started for this option yet.<\/p>\n

Guests must be 21 and over, and a valid government-issued ID is required at the door.<\/p>\n

\u201cExperience a night of fun and dancing in your favorite childhood mall,\u201d the zany, neon-green writing on the flyer reads.<\/p>\n

The event comes at a time where mall owners are encouraging Gen Z shoppers<\/a>, many of whom complain of craving IRL connecting experiences<\/a>, to return to the once thriving community hubs, according to an April writing<\/a> by Post columnist Lois Weiss.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cMalls are making a comeback and it\u2019s a younger audience that is doing it,\u201d said R.J. Hottovy of Placer.ai, a site that tracks visits. \u201cIt\u2019s a third place that is away from home and office, and instead of just shopping, it is becoming a place for experiences \u2014 and hanging out.\u201d<\/p>\n
