Broadway, Off-Broadway weeks offer two-for-one tickets
 The discounts are adding up for January and February with the addition of Broadway Week and Off-Broadway Week promising half-price tickets during a traditionally slower season for tourism.
Broadway Week will offer two-for-one tickets from Jan. 17 through Feb. 4 to more than 20 Broadway shows including “Wicked,” “Lion King,” “Jersey Boys” and “Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark.” Tickets will go on sale Jan. 4.
Off-Broadway Week will offer the same two-for-one deal but from Jan. 30 through Feb. 12. Off-Broadway shows offering the deal include “Avenue Q,” “Blue Man Group,” “Rent” and “Stomp.” Tickets go on sale Jan. 4. (Updated link as of Jan. 4.)
Broadway and Off-Broadway weeks are organized by NYC & Company, the city’s marketing, tourism and partnership organization.
Several other discount programs have been announced for January and early February, including Restaurant Week, Hotel Week, a third-night free hotel deal, Kids Night on Broadway and the 20at20 Off-Broadway $20 ticket deal.
