Organized by New York City Tourism + Conventions, the program is designed to stimulate sales during weeks when Broadway attendance traditionally dips, so everybody wins: The productions get full houses, and savvy audiences get cheap Broadway tickets.
What is Broadway Week?
Broadway Week in NYC is a ticket deal offered by Broadway producers and New York City Tourism + Conventions. For a limited time, it lets you buy two tickets to most Broadway shows for the price of one. This does mean that you'll need to buy at least two tickets.
When is Broadway Week?
Broadway Week occurs twice a year, and lasts more than one actual week. The next one spans from September 3 through September 15, 2024.
How can you get tickets for Broadway Week?
The most popular shows sell out fast, so the earlier you buy your seats, the better chance you have of seeing your first choices. Aim for 10am on the first day if you can, and make sure your accounts are up to date on Telecharge and Ticketmaster are up to date to make the process as fast as possible. Visit the Broadway Week website to buy tickets and peruse the list of participating shows. You’ll need to use the code “BWYWKF24” to get the discount.
What shows are available during Broadway Week?
Nearly every show on Broadway participates in Broadway Week, though not all. The September edition in 2024 includes 23 productions. The Broadway Week website has FAQ guidelines on exactly how to enter your discount code with each ticket vendor.
What seats are available during Broadway Week?
The tickets sold through Broadway Week tend to be ones that producers are most eager to sell: in balconies, mezzanines and side areas. If you want to splurge on some of the best seats in the house, you can use the "upgrade" option to pay $125 for tickets that would otherwise often cost a good deal more.
Is there an Off-Broadway Week?
Indeed there is. Like Broadway Week, Off-Broadway Week comes but twice a year, and information about it can be found at the Off-Broadway Week website. The last edition was in February this year but the next one hasn’t been announced yet.
