NJ TRANSIT Ticket Purchase Process

Round-Trip NJ TRANSIT rail tickets from any NJ TRANSIT rail station to NYNJ Stadium for matchday travel will be available starting May 13 for a flat rate of $98 per person. Customers MUST purchase tickets in advance, as availability is limited and tickets may sell out.

Before You Purchase

Steps to Purchase Your Ticket in the NJ TRANSIT Mobile App

1. Download and open the NJ TRANSIT Mobile App
2. Select Buy Tickets -> Special Events
3. Select a specific matchday
4. Must confirm you have valid FIFA World Cup 26™ match ticket(s) equal to the number of NJ TRANSIT rail tickets to NYNJ Stadium you purchase, which does not exceed your match tickets (e.g., 2 match tickets = up to 2 NJ TRANSIT tickets).
   • NJ TRANSIT matchday ticket to NYNJ Stadium cannot be purchased without a valid FIFA World Cup 26™ match ticket.
5. Select your Origin Station
6. Select an available Time Slot
   • To help manage crowds and provide a smoother trip to the match, NJ TRANSIT tickets to NYNJ Stadium will be sold in specific departure windows. Each time slot (listed below) shows your departure time window at one of these designated stations for travel to NYNJ Stadium: Penn Station New York (PSNY), Secaucus Junction, or Hoboken Terminal. Time slots are selected on a first-come, first-served basis. If your preferred departure time window is not available, it is sold out and you must select another time slot:
     • Departing 4-5 hours before kickoff
     • 3-4 hours before kickoff
     • 2-3 hours before kickoff
     • 1-2 hours before kickoff
   • Please note: Tickets are not available for the final hour before kickoff, so please plan ahead and select the time window that works best for you.
   • Additional Reminder: If traveling from PSNY, you will board a train to Secaucus Junction and transfer to a direct train to NYNJ Stadium. If traveling from any other NJ TRANSIT station, you must transfer through Secaucus Junction or Hoboken Terminal to connect with a train to NYNJ Stadium.
7. Select Tickets
   • Tap the “+” sign to add up to 4 tickets.
   • Tap the “-” sign to reduce the number of selected tickets.
   • All tickets purchased will be stored under the same purchaser’s account.
     • For example, if you select 4 tickets, all 4 will appear under your account, but each ticket must be presented individually for inspection.
     • Reminder: You can only purchase up to four (4) tickets per transaction, and up to eight (8) tickets per matchday, per account.
8. Confirm & Pay
   • Multiple payment options are available.
   • Each ticket includes round-trip travel to and from NYNJ Stadium.
   • Tickets are sold at a flat rate per person, regardless of origin station.
   • A confirmation email will be sent once the purchase is complete.
   • On the day of the match, your tickets will be automatically activated in the NJ TRANSIT Mobile App under My Tickets. No manual activation is required.
   • Important Reminder: Download the latest NJ TRANSIT Mobile App and ensure your device is set to Eastern Time (ET) upon arrival in New York/New Jersey. If your device doesn’t automatically adjust to the local time zone, manually update the time zone in your phone’s settings so you can display your NJ TRANSIT ticket on matchday.

After You Purchase

Once your purchase is complete and confirmed:

• A Boarding Zone will be randomly pre-assigned to you and the information will appear on your ticket on the day of the match.
• The Boarding Zone identifies where you must go to enter the queue for the ticket inspection process and to obtain an official NJ TRANSIT Matchday Wristband before you can access NJ TRANSIT service to and from NYNJ Stadium. No Wristband, No Ride.
• Regardless of origin station, all customers must enter a ticket inspection queue at three designated locations: Penn Station New York (PSNY), Hoboken Terminal, or Secaucus Junction, either by starting their trip there or transferring through one of these stations. After inspection, customers may continue on NJ TRANSIT service to NYNJ Stadium.
  • For traveling from PSNY, ticketholders are pre-assigned to one of the two on-street Boarding Zones that are in two separate areas within the vicinity of PSNY:
    • Boarding Zone A (Red): 32^nd Street & 6^th Avenue
    • Boarding Zone B (Blue): 33^rd Street & 7^th Avenue
  • For traveling from PSNY, if you wish to remain with your party in the same Boarding Zone, one person must purchase all tickets for the group in a single transaction via the same account. Purchasing tickets separately may result in members of your party being assigned to a different Boarding Zone.
  • For traveling via Hoboken Terminal, ticketholders must enter the designated queue at Boarding Zone HOB (Purple), as shown on their NJ TRANSIT rail ticket, for the ticket inspection process before boarding.
  • For traveling via Secaucus Junction, ticketholders must enter the designated queue at Boarding Zone SEC (Green), as shown on their NJ TRANSIT rail ticket, for the ticket inspection process before boarding.
  • Customers not traveling from PSNY or transferring via Hoboken Terminal, including those arriving from other stations or by drop-off, must transfer at Secaucus Junction and enter Boarding Zone SEC (Green) for the ticket inspection process before boarding.
  • Each Boarding Zone is color-coded and staffed with NJ TRANSIT personnel wearing matching-color vests, making it easy to locate and receive assistance with the ticket inspection process.

Ticket Verification & Wristband Issuance

• There are three stages in the ticket check process while in the queue:
  • First, your FIFA World Cup 26™ match ticket will be inspected.
  • Next, you will be asked to show your pre-purchased NJ TRANSIT rail ticket to NYNJ Stadium.
  • And then, you will receive your NJ TRANSIT-branded wristband, which is valid only for that specific matchday and required for travel to and from NYNJ Stadium. No Wristband, No Ride.
• Customers without a valid FIFA World Cup 26™ match ticket and a valid NJ TRANSIT rail ticket to NYNJ Stadium will be asked to exit the queue and will not be permitted to board.
• The NJ TRANSIT Matchday Wristband is required for boarding and is valid for round-trip travel to and from NYNJ Stadium. No Wristband, No Ride.
• Wristbands are matchday specific and must be worn at all times, including to board return service for travel after the match. The “No Wristband, No Ride” policy will be strictly enforced, and service will be denied to anyone not wearing the official NJ TRANSIT Matchday Wristband.
