NEW YORK – NYC’s Broadway Week is back!
What we know:
Broadway patrons have the opportunity to get 2-for-1 tickets to 24 different shows for performances between Sept. 8 and Sept. 21, according to New York City Tourism + Conventions.
The deals are available twice a year in an effort to make Broadway more financially accessible. The cost of an average Broadway ticket ranges from $100 to $150, so the 2-for-1 deal significantly lowers the cost for those who might not otherwise pay to see a show. The promotion works by discounting tickets by 50% on orders of two or more.
What they’re saying:
“NYC Broadway Week is a celebrated tradition in our city, providing visitors with access to world-class productions found nowhere else in the world,” Julie Coker, president and CEO of New York City Tourism + Conventions, said in a statement. “Since its inception in 2011, the program has provided significant support to New York City’s dynamic Broadway theater industry, generating over $196 million in revenue.”
“From groundbreaking musicals to timeless classics, Broadway is the heartbeat of New York City, and with NYC Broadway Week, we are, once again, making sure that more New Yorkers and visitors can enjoy the magic of the stage,” New York City Mayor Eric Adams said in a statement.
