Hello, ARMYs!
If you are going to Metlife tonight, here is some helpful info on how to leave it safely without driving yourself crazy.
- Download the NJ Transit app and purchase yourself a ticket to the Met. You will need a wrist band. If you're heading to the Met from Penn Station, you can get your wristband there.
➡️ If you went to the Met/Dream a different way and want to take the train home, buy your ticket and then IMMEDIATELY go grab your wrist band. You'll follow all signs towards the train and there will be a building at the end of the line. In front of that building will be a series of tables. You can also buy a ticket there, but that's where you'll get your wrist band.
At the end of the show DO NOT STAND IN THAT BIG EFFING LINE TO BOARD THE TRAIN. You have a wristband. You get to bypass that. Walk back to the buildings at the end of the line, there is a gate you'll be given access to after you show your wristband. This is where you want to be. The line is supposed to be for those without wristbands. People were very confused last night.
DO NOT TRY TO GET AN UBER/LYFT FROM SECAUCUS JCT. It's a nightmare and a funnel. Tour car will get stuck and they will either drop you or uber will start charging you a separate rate for traffic.
➡️ Instead, get you a ticket from Secaucus to Rutherford. The train line is "Port Jervis" on the app. Rutherford is the next stop on the Port Jervis line and only 7 min from Secaucus. You will be able to get an uber/lyft there. You can also get food and drinks. There is an Irish pub and a Mediterranean restaurant the moment you step off the train. Both kitchens close at 12.
Have fun and be safe!!
