Do Broadway tickets cost more on holiday weeks?
Yes — holiday weeks are pricier.
Holiday weeks averaged 94.9$ per ticket, versus 89.5$ in normal weeks — about 5.4$ more.
The evidence
Average gap: +5.4$ (95% confidence range 2.1 to 8.6), from 356 holiday weeks and 931 normal weeks.
How we measured it
We compare the two groups and check the gap is bigger than random noise. Based on 1,287 data points. This is a pattern we spotted, not proof. Plenty of other things move these numbers too — the time of year, which shows are playing, ticket prices — so treat it as a clue, not a rule.
