What To Expect From Broadway Week

I'm hoping to get tickets to Back To The Future for myself & 3 of my cousins. We'd like to go on Saturday, February 3rd, since that's the only night works for all of us during the "Broadway Week - 2 For 1 Tickets" period. - However, I'm now starting to wonder if I'm getting my hopes up too much.

Given the past, is there a chance that a show like Back To The Future won't participate in the "2 For 1" promo? - Further more, if it does participate, is there a chance that the applicable seats will be limited view seats (I'm hoping for center mezzanine) and/or Saturday nights will be excluded from the promo?

Ultimately, might I be better off to wait/look for other discount codes or even wait until the last minute to see if prices drop? (Is it safe to say that many shows won't sell well throughout late January/early February, resulting in significant price drops as shows approach?)

While I know that nothing is certain, I know that many of you are experts on this type of stuff & can give be the best advice possible. 

 
Thanks, in advance, for all of your advice/thoughts/perspectives.

I don't have a lot of information, but do know when the Tix are released the go VERY quickly. The productions only make a finite number of Tix available for each performance - if they participate at all.

I feel confident that Back to the Future will participate in Broadway Week given that they just had tickets up on TDF for the first time.  Review the insider tips here https://www.nycinsiderguide.com/broadway-week-new-york-city as presales often open prior to the official January 9th on sale date. Good Luck.

Did The Lion King and Aladdin usually participate in Broadway Week? These are the only 2 Broadway theaters I haven't been in. I need to cross them off the list.

They do, but tickets for those two (especially The Lion King) go FAST.

Do you think that BTTF (and many other shows, for that matter) will have their own discount codes for this winter, or is my mind stuck too much in the past?

Also, being a die hard concert goer, I know that venues drop prices, when a large amount of tickets go unsold. Do Broadway shows do the same thing, notably during the bad weeks of January & February?

The deals for Wicked and Lion King aren't much, usually limited to weeknight shows and sell out quickly.

I think it's possible that BTTF would only do weekdays and might not have Saturday night performances available for Broadway Week (currently only weekday shows are available on TDF).  I think in the past the Broadway Week seats have always been full view as far as I remember.  Aladdin was never that competitive, but Lion King does go early (I think it's the only sort of discounting they ever do).

As for a promo code, I think it's definitely possible, though it would probably also depend on their advance for February/March.  Due to dynamic pricing, the regular ticket prices in January should be cheaper overall than something like December during the holidays, and while some shows will knock off the premium status on tickets right before a show, I'm not sure if ticket prices across the board would drop that much (usually they'd just send them to TKTS, which could be another thing to check).
