New York City (December 16, 2013) — NYC & Company, New York City’s official marketing, tourism and partnership organization, announced that Broadway Week will return this winter with 2-for-1 theater tickets to 26 Broadway shows—more than any previous iteration of the campaign. The promotion will run from January 21 through February 6, and theatergoers can take advantage of this savings opportunity by purchasing 2-for-1 tickets starting on January 6 at nycgo.com/broadwayweek.


“Whether theatergoers are seeing a new musical or an old classic, going to a Broadway show is an iconic New York City experience,” said George Fertitta, CEO of NYC & Company. “We encourage New Yorkers and visitors as well as football fans in town for Super Bowl XLVIII to take advantage of the 2-for-1 Broadway Week promotion and enjoy a wonderful theatrical performance.”


“NYC & Company’s innovative 2-for-1 program is a smart way for New Yorkers and visitors to tackle Broadway this Super Bowl season! Broadway Week is now becoming a semi-annual event for savvy theater fans who love plays and musicals - and more shows are participating than ever before,” says Charlotte St. Martin, Executive Director of The Broadway League. “As our city is getting ready to welcome a live celebrated sports event that applauds teamwork and an ensemble cast of star athletes, a live theatrical performance on Broadway is also a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Okay NFL fans, show us your plays, and we’ll show you our plays.”


Through NYC & Company’s Broadway Week promotion, more than 350,000 2-for-1 theater tickets have been sold, generating over $22 million in revenue since the semiannual campaign was launched in January 2011.
