I'd like to get down to the stadium quite early on the day of the show but it looks like the trains only start a few hours before showtime (correct me if I'm wrong!). Does anyone know how I could get there earlier please - not driving - I've tried to look at buses but can't seem to figure it out

I'll stay at the Hilton Meadowland from May 22nd to May 28th.
Will there be others from IORR?
Does anyone know the best way to get from the hotel to Metlife Stadium and back on the day of the shows?
And is it already known where the Lucky Dip Box Office will be located?
And where at the stadium are the merchandise trucks? When do they open?
And are there any pre-show parties planned? Where and when?
I'll also be at the Blue Note Jazz Club at Karl Denson's Tiny Universe and at The Jazz Club at Tim Ries' The Rolling Stones Project with Bernard Fowler and Darryl Jones. Anyone else?
Lots of questions - sorry - but hoping for some good answers.

Although that hotel is very close to the stadium -- a stone's throw --, I would think it is too dangerous to walk to Metlife from the hotel... because it is just multi-lane highways.
Maybe the hotel has a shuttle? Otherwise you probably need to go with Uber or Lyft or by taxi.

I am also waiting to hear which box office for the Lucky Dips...

I shouldn't be too negative about it. This would be a good introduction to your surroundings - [www.goodreads.com].

You may be tempted to go to the gigantic American Dream Mall and entertainment complex next to the stadium. I wouldn't bother... I've never been there myself.

Instead, suggest try to get out of East Rutherford on Friday and Saturday...

Get to NYC... walk around go shopping, out to eat, drink, or to a museum, movie or a show.

From your hotel, you'll need to get to Secaucus train station by car. Then take NJ Transit train to NY Penn Station.

Which train is the best one to take from downtown Manhattan?

Train fron penn to seacausus and then specific shuttle to stadium if i am not mistaken

Ah alright, thanks So is that all included in one ticket?
Because on the MetLife Stadium website they have those trains listed for $5 one way, is that what you're talking about?

Trains from Secaucus to MetLife stadium operate only for scheduled stadium concerts and sporting events.

If they open Merch up on days before shows , what are the options for getting from and back to Manhattan ?

Except for the days of the concerts, car or bus the only options to get from Manhattan to MetLife stadium (Meadowlands Sports Complex, American Dream Mall, etc.).

Maybe a local bus from Port Authority Bus Terminal? See: here

Almost certain that there is no train to stadium except on event days.

I could be wrong, but I would guess that they'd sell merchandise only on concert days

Like most places, the blues are not alive and well in NYC. Other than a few bars in Harlem, the best-known "blues club" per se in NYC, Terra Blues in the Village, isn't worth your time/money in my opinion, but if you want to check out Junior Mack, say, there, go ahead.

The Knicks may have a playoff game Sunday afternoon. The Liberty play their home opener in Brooklyn against Caitlin Clark's Indiana Fever tomorrow afternoon, with another game Monday night. You won't get tickets to any but the last of these.

The Yankees are at home through Thursday, with day games Sunday and Thursday. The Mets return Friday the 24th, with day games starting the next afternoon, when they'll wear unusual, ugly uniforms.

Best way to travel to Metlife stadium on show day from NYC is the bus from the Port Authority Bus Terminal.

[www.coachusa.com]

There is also a NJ Transit train from Penn Station.

[www.njtransit.com]

From previous experience the bus is a faster and more effiecient option, especially after the show.

Is it possible to buy tickets for the bus (coachusa) online? Or do I have to do it at location where the bus is leaving? Can’t find the online ticketshop..
