The second ticket costs $17.87 because in 1787, New Jersey became the third state in the union. Now, in 2025, it will be the first state with its own dedicated night on Broadway.

Broadway honors New Jersey with special ticket deal

Broadway League President Jason Laks said the focus is to “celebrate New Jersey, acknowledge and recognize the incredible connection between New Jersey and Broadway, say thank you, and we love you to New Jersey, and to remind people how great it is to come to New York and see a show.”

On this special evening, Oct. 22, New Jersey residents can experience the magic of Broadway with not only this revolutionary ticket offer, but there is also exclusive transportation savings from NJ Transit, and dining deals throughout the theater district.

Each participating show will also add its own unique twist to the evening to make the celebration “Garden State-worthy.”
