Launched in 2011, Broadway Week was designed to increase ticket sales during typically slower periods of attendance during the winter and fall seasons. The promotion has cumulatively sold nearly 630,000 tickets, generating approximately $41.7 million in revenue for Broadway as of summer 2015. Broadway Week is produced by NYC & Company in partnership with American Express, Amtrak, Audience Rewards, The Broadway League, NBC 4 New York, New York City Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment, Telecharge, and Ticketmaster and with support from AARP New York.
