How to Get Tickets for New York Fashion Week

Mercedez-Benz and Couture Fashion Week Tickets
1. Purchase tickets through American Express travel packages, which is limited to AmEx cardholders. Seats are located in the Skybox suite (includes food and beverage) and tend to sell out quickly as there are a limited number of packages available for purchase. You could also search the AmEx website for contests. The company ran a contest for the February 2010 show where it offered a chance to see the Anna Sui and Brian Reyes shows for Fashion Week.
2. Establish when the W Hotels lists for sale its 'W Catwalk Package.' This exclusive package gets you tickets to Fashion Week and a suite at the W New York - Union Square. A runway pass and backstage tour are also included with other goodies.W New York - Union Square

3. Volunteer to become part of the team that helps make the 'magic' happen at the fashion shows. Roles include runway preparation, assembling gifts bags/press kits, and various other tasks. A resume and cover letter must be submitted by the deadlines listed depending on the show you're interested in participating in (i.e. Fall/Winter or Spring/Summer shows). This can be very competitive.
4. Attend one of the many fashion shows during Couture Fashion Week, which is also in New York, at the Waldorf-Astoria. The event features world-class entertainment and fine designers from around the world. It's a great opportunity to feel the excitement and see what the runway shows are like. Tickets are more accessible than those of the Mercedez-Benz fashion shows and can be purchased online.
