The magical autumn rendezvous
Broadway Week represents one of the most exceptional opportunities to discover New York’ s greatest shows at reduced prices. This biennial event, organized by NYC Tourism Conventions, literally transforms the Times Square area into an accessible paradise for all lovers of musical theatre.
From 8 to 21 September 2025, this extraordinary promotion will enable you to attend the most prestigious Broadway shows with 2-for-1 tickets, i.e. a 50% discount on each ticket!
Key dates to remember
Period of the event
Broadway Week will run from Monday 8 September to Sunday 21 September 2025, covering exactly 13 days of discounted shows. This period was specifically chosen because September traditionally corresponds to a drop in theatre attendance, allowing producers to offer these special rates.
Tickets on sale
Crucially, tickets go on sale at 10am on Tuesday 19 August 2025. It’s absolutely essential to be online at that precise time, as the most popular shows, such as Hamilton, The Lion King and Wicked, sell out in a matter of minutes!

Strategies to maximize your chances
Advance preparation
Create your accounts on the main ticketing platforms(Telecharge, Ticketmaster, SeatGeek) before 19 August. Each show uses a different platform, and wasting time creating an account on the big day could mean missing out on the best seats.
Optimum purchasing strategy
Log on to NYC Tourism at 9.55am on 19 August and update the page at 10am sharp. Have a list of 3-4 priority shows, because if your first choice is no longer available, you can immediately fall back on your alternatives.
Practical advantages for your stay in September
Ideal climate
September in New York offers perfect temperatures (18-24°C) and fewer tourists than in summer, making the experience even more enjoyable. The cool evenings are perfect for a theatre outing in the electrifying Times Square district.
Substantial savings
With Broadway tickets generally costing between $75 and $200, Broadway Week allows you to save between $40 and $100 per person. For a couple wanting to see two shows, the savings can total up to $400!
Authentic atmosphere
Taking in a show during Broadway Week immerses you in authentic New York excitement, far from the summer crowds. The historic theatres of the Theater District regain their intimate and sophisticated atmosphere.
Insider tips for a successful experience
Restaurant reservations
Book your Theater District restaurant before or after the show as soon as you have your tickets. Popular establishments such as Sardi’s and Joe Allen fill up quickly during Broadway Week.
Transportation and timing
Plan to arrive 45 minutes before the start of the show. The Theater District is particularly busy during this period, and the streets around Times Square can be congested. The subway remains the most reliable means of transport, with stations at Times Square-42nd Street and 49th Street.
Alternative Off-Broadway
Don’t forget that there is also a competing Off-Broadway Week offering more intimate shows in smaller venues, often at even lower prices.
A unique opportunity not to be missed
Broadway Week in September 2025 is the perfect opportunity to discover why New York remains the world capital of musical theatre. From legendary productions to promising new releases, this magical fortnight guarantees unforgettable memories at affordable prices.
Get ready to experience the pure emotion of a curtain rising on the world’s greatest talents, in the world’s most legendary theatres, in the heart of the city that never sleeps!
