Getting There is as Easy as 1, 2, 3...

Take a regularly scheduled LIRR train to Penn Station.
At Penn, proceed to New Jersey Transit’s (NJT) upper or lower level concourses to board a NJT train to Secaucus Junction (SEC), about a 12-minute ride. Check NJT monitors for track assignments for trains to “SEC” or listen to announcements. NJT tracks are numbered 1-12; some NJT trains may use LIRR Tracks 13-16 on weekends.
At Secaucus Junction, follow the signs to the lower level for the “Meadowlands Line.” Show your rail ticket at the special gate for MTA ticket holders, then board the shuttle for the short ride to the Stadium. Shuttle service will run frequently starting approximately 3 1/2 hours before each game and up to two hours after the game. During the game shuttles will run hourly.

Buying Train Tickets
LIRR customers can purchase joint LIRR/NJT tickets to “Meadowlands” Station for off-peak one-way, round-trip and ten-trip travel. At machines, select the button that reads "...to Another Station", then select "M", then "Meadowlands" Station. These tickets are valid for travel on both LIRR and NJT trains for Football games and limited events. We recommend you purchase round-trip tickets before boarding since NJT does NOT sell this joint ticket, and tickets purchased on-board trains cost more (see NJT ticket rules).

These tickets are NOT available from Penn, Brooklyn, Long Island City or Hunterspoint Avenue stations and are NOT available on board LIRR trains.

At Ticket Machine or Ticket Office: Purchase a round-trip joint ticket to the “Meadowlands” Station for off-peak travel. Price is standard LIRR fare plus $7.75 for round-trip NJT portion of travel. NJT one-way fare is $4.25. NJT does not sell the joint ticket, therefore we recommend round-trip purchases.

Online from WebTicket: Purchase a round-trip ticket to the "Meadowlands" Station. Save 5% off the LIRR portion of the fare. Purchase tickets at least five business days prior to the game to ensure on-time delivery.

LIRR Tickets Holders: Commuters/customers that already have an LIRR ticket to Penn or Zone 1 must purchase a NJT ticket to the Meadowlands. NJT tickets can be purchased at windows on the NJT upper level or at ticket machines, available throughout the NJT upper and lower levels. NJT machines list Penn as "New York Penn Station." Lines may be long before games; please allow extra time.

NJT Ticket Rules
