You've been to enough Knicks and Rangers games — or survived enough MSG concert nights — to know exactly how the evening ends. The final buzzer or the last encore hits, 19,000 people try to pour through the same exits at once, and Seventh Avenue between 31st and 35th Streets seizes up within about ten minutes flat. Rideshare prices spike, the NJT platform at Penn Station fills wall to wall, and your group — which arrived in four separate cars and three separate rideshares — spends the next 45 minutes trying to find each other in the Penn Station concourse.
That's the night almost every Madison Square Garden visitor from Newark has lived at least once. A Newark party bus or charter bus rental replaces the whole scramble: one vehicle, one pickup in Newark, one drop on the Seventh Avenue curbside steps from the gates, and one ride home when the crowd clears.
This guide covers the exact bus drop-off and pickup logistics at MSG, the NYPD event perimeter that changes everything on big game nights, an honest comparison of every way a Newark group can get to the Garden, and what shapes the price of a charter bus or party bus rental from Newark to Madison Square Garden. The information below comes from official venue sources and published NYPD and event records — not from a brochure. For a broader look at group transportation to New York area sporting events, see the Newark sporting event party bus page.
Why Rent a Bus to Madison Square Garden from Newark?
Newark is 12 miles from MSG — close enough that NJ Transit's Northeast Corridor drops you at Penn Station in 15 to 20 minutes. That makes the honest case for a charter bus or party bus a little different here than it is for venues in the outer suburbs. A bus isn't necessarily faster than the train for a solo traveler.
What it does is keep your whole group together from the moment you leave Newark to the moment you're back — no splitting up at the ticket window, no half the group missing the opening act because the 7:14 train was packed, no one sober enough to drive home.
For groups of 15 or more, that coordination problem is real money and real stress. Everybody buying their own NJT ticket, navigating Penn Station, finding each other on the platform, and then regrouping post-game in a packed station sounds fine until you're actually doing it with 35 people on a Saturday playoff night. One charter bus or party bus from Newark to Madison Square Garden solves every one of those variables at once.
Your group loads from one address — your hotel, office, or home neighborhood — rides together, and gets dropped on the curbside steps from the Chase Square entrance on Seventh Avenue. After the game, the bus is already staged and waiting. That's the whole pitch, and it's a simple one.
Charter Bus and Party Bus Drop-Off at Madison Square Garden
Madison Square Garden sits at 4 Pennsylvania Plaza, New York, NY 10001 — directly above Penn Station in the middle of Midtown Manhattan, bounded by Seventh and Eighth Avenues from West 31st to West 33rd Streets. There is no dedicated charter bus lot, no off-site staging zone with a shuttle, and no dedicated approach road the way you'd find at a stadium in the suburbs. What there is: curbside drop-off on Seventh Avenue southbound, just north of West 31st Street, with additional bus and limo drop-off on West 31st Street and West 33rd Street between Seventh and Eighth Avenues.
That's the verified commercial vehicle zone for MSG arrivals on standard event days.
The venue has five public entrances and two VIP entrances, and knowing which one is closest to your bus drop matters for a group. Chase A is at West 31st Street near Eighth Avenue (southwest corner). Chase B is on Eighth Avenue near West 31st Street.
Chase C is on Eighth Avenue near West 33rd Street (northwest corner). Chase D is at West 33rd Street near Eighth Avenue. The Seventh Avenue entrance — sometimes called Chase Square — sits at Seventh Avenue near West 32nd Street on the southeast side of the building.
For bus groups dropping on Seventh Avenue southbound, Chase Square is the closest entry point and the one most groups use. There are also two VIP entrances: North VIP off West 33rd Street near Seventh Avenue and South VIP off West 31st Street near Seventh Avenue, each a few steps from the standard curbside zone.
After drop-off, the bus cannot stage on Seventh or Eighth Avenue during the event — Midtown Manhattan streets don't permit that the way a stadium parking lot does. The bus will circle or stage on Ninth or Tenth Avenue a few blocks west, then return to the arranged pickup point when the event ends. The post-event pickup spot and time need to be agreed on before your group goes inside, because the crowd leaving MSG moves fast and Penn Station below is immediately packed.
Set your pickup window in advance, pick a specific corner, and the bus is right there when you walk out. Coordinate the exact drop point and staging plan when you request your quote, because the approach that works on a regular-season Tuesday is different from what's needed on a playoff Saturday — which brings us to the single most important logistical fact for big MSG events.
When NYPD Closes Seventh Avenue: The Big-Event Perimeter
For major MSG events — Knicks playoff games, Rangers playoff runs, NBA Finals watch parties, headline concerts — the NYPD implements a security perimeter that changes the bus drop-off equation completely. The perimeter runs from West 29th Street to West 35th Street between Sixth and Eighth Avenues, and at its fullest activation, Seventh Avenue between West 29th and West 35th Streets is closed to all vehicular traffic, typically beginning at 4:00 PM before evening events. Only ticketed guests, Penn Station travelers, credentialed workers, and those with other authorized reasons can enter the perimeter on foot, and vehicle access to the standard Seventh Avenue curbside zone is cut off entirely.
When the perimeter is active, bus groups shift their drop-off to Eighth Avenue — the western side of the building, outside the vehicle restriction zone — where the Chase A, B, C, and D entrances are all within a short walk of the drop point. This is the verified NYPD pattern for high-security Knicks and Rangers playoff nights in 2026. The Knicks reached the NBA Finals in 2026, drawing the most intensive event-day security the venue has seen in years.
For any MSG trip involving a playoff game, a championship round, or a major headlining concert, count on the Eighth Avenue drop being your actual approach — and confirm the current plan for your specific event date before your group loads the bus in Newark.
The reason this matters: groups who assume they'll drop on Seventh Avenue and didn't know about the perimeter end up getting turned around by NYPD traffic management several blocks away and scrambling to figure out where to walk from. A Newark charter bus rental to Madison Square Garden that's booked with full event-day awareness — including which side of the building is accessible by vehicle on your specific date — gets your group from the curbside to their seats in five minutes instead of 25. We recommend checking the official MSG directions page before your event for current access information.
On big playoff nights, Seventh Avenue closes to vehicles starting at 4:00 PM. The bus drop shifts to Eighth Avenue, where Chase A through D put your group at the building's west entrances. Set your pickup corner before the group goes inside — because 19,000 people will be walking out at the same time as you, and the pickup plan you didn't agree on in advance becomes a 30-minute text chain in a cell-jammed concourse.
Getting to Madison Square Garden from Newark: Every Option Compared
This is a bus-comparison site, so let's be straight: for one or two people, NJ Transit is a genuinely excellent way to get to MSG. Penn Station is literally below the arena. But the moment your group grows past a handful of individuals who need to coordinate timing, meet at a specific train, stay together on the platform, and regroup post-game — the calculus shifts.
Here is an honest look at every realistic option a Newark group has for a night at the Garden.
| Option | Cost shape | Arrive together? | Drop-off | Post-event | Best group size |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Private charter bus or party bus | One flat rate, split by the group | Yes — one vehicle, one pickup in Newark | Best — Seventh Ave curbside or Eighth Ave (perimeter nights), steps from entrances | Bus staged and waiting — no platform scramble | 15–56 |
| NJ Transit (Northeast Corridor or North Jersey Coast) | Per person each way (~$11–15 round trip) | Only if everyone books the same train and finds each other | Good — Penn Station, directly below MSG, but platform crowds post-game are intense | Packed platforms, last train curfew applies | 1–4 travelers |
| Rideshare from Newark | Per car each way plus tolls — $75–$90+ each way per car, surge after events | No — multiple cars, multiple ETAs | Poor — Midtown traffic slows approach; post-event surge pricing and long waits | Surge pricing, 20–30 min wait after events | 1–4 per car |
| Drive and park in Midtown | Lincoln Tunnel toll ($16.79 E-ZPass peak, $23.30 Tolls by Mail) + $40–$66 garage per car | No — caravan splits on approach | Nearest garage is New Garden Garage (315-319 W 33rd) — 1,500 spaces, first-come; walk to entry from there | Post-event gridlock on Seventh Ave; garage exit backs up | 1–2 cars |
For small groups of four or fewer where everyone is coming from the same neighborhood and the last NJT train home works for your plans, the train is the right call. No reason to rent a charter bus for a couple. But for groups of 15 or more — fan groups, birthday groups, corporate outings, bachelorette parties ending at MSG — the coordination cost of separate vehicles or multiple train tickets tips decisively toward one bus.
That's the group this guide is written for.
NJ Transit from Newark Penn Station: The Real Story
Newark Penn Station to New York Penn Station is one of the most direct arena-access commuter rail trips in the country. The Northeast Corridor and North Jersey Coast Line run frequent service — trains every 15 to 20 minutes — and the trip clocks in at 15 to 20 minutes, landing you in the Penn Station concourse directly below Madison Square Garden. For the price and the transit time, it's hard to beat for a solo traveler.
The NJ Transit train to New York page has route and service information for your line — check it before any MSG event, along with NJ Transit's fares and schedule tools, so your group knows the last train home.
The complication is scale. A 30-person fan group buying 30 individual NJT tickets, coordinating arrival at Newark Penn, boarding a packed train, and regrouping at Penn Station's already-busy platforms on a game night is a legitimate logistical headache. And the post-game platform at Penn Station after a sold-out Knicks or Rangers game is the most crowded spot in the building — 19,000 fans funneling down escalators to a concourse already handling Amtrak and LIRR passengers.
It clears, but not quickly, and not comfortably. A Newark party bus or charter bus rental eliminates that bottleneck entirely: your group loads in Newark, rides together, gets dropped at the building, and has a staged pickup waiting when the game ends.
What Size Bus Does Your Group Need for a Madison Square Garden Trip?
Group size and the nature of the night decide the vehicle. A corporate suite group of 12 has different needs than a 45-person Knicks fan group doing a pregame dinner in Hell's Kitchen before the game. Partybusnewark.net connects you to a wide range of vehicles through a large network of bus companies serving Newark, so your group rides comfortable and you are not paying for seats you do not need. Here is how the full vehicle lineup breaks down for a Madison Square Garden run.
| Vehicle | Typical seats | Luggage | Best for | Key amenities |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 14-passenger Sprinter limo / Sprinter van | Up to 14 | Moderate — bags, light gear | Small corporate groups, VIP suite holders, birthday parties of 10–14 | Premium leather, USB charging, tinted privacy windows, individual reading lights |
| Party bus (15–50 passengers) | 15–50 | Onboard, lighter | Fan groups, bachelorette parties, birthday groups wanting a rolling celebration | Color-changing LED lighting, premium Bluetooth sound system, flat-panel TVs, wraparound perimeter seating |
| 15–35 passenger minibus | 15–35 | Overhead plus some underfloor | Mid-size groups, office outings, wedding party transfers through Midtown | Powerful A/C, plush reclining seats, greater maneuverability for tight Midtown streets |
| 40–56 passenger charter bus | Up to 56 | Excellent — deep undercarriage bays | Large fan groups, corporate block outings, school groups, team travel | Reclining seats, climate control, overhead storage, WiFi, power outlets, onboard restrooms, undercarriage bays |
A minibus is particularly well-suited to the MSG trip because of Midtown Manhattan's street geometry — a 25- or 30-passenger minibus navigates the narrow blocks around Penn Station and Eighth Avenue more cleanly than a full-size 56-seat coach on a standard event night. For very large groups or when luggage and gear are part of the trip, the charter bus's undercarriage bays and onboard restroom make the longer evening workable without pit stops. ADA-accessible vehicles can be requested through the network — note it in your quote request and the right vehicle can be arranged.
Madison Square Garden Bus Rental Prices from Newark
Pricing on a Newark party bus or charter bus rental to Madison Square Garden moves with your headcount, how many hours the vehicle is tied up, and the date — a regular-season Wednesday looks different from a Knicks playoff Saturday when vehicle demand across the entire New York metro spikes. Partybusnewark.net puts online quotes in your hands in under 30 seconds; there is no account required and no obligation to book. Here are the planning ranges to give you an idea of what to expect.
A 25-passenger party bus runs weekday-hourly in the $250–$350 range and weekend-hourly $275–$375, with per-day rates of $1,850–$2,900. A 15–35 passenger minibus runs weekday-hourly $200–$250 and weekend-hourly $200–$275, with per-day rates of $1,100–$2,150. A full 40–56 passenger charter bus runs $200–$350 per hour in either direction on weekdays and weekends, with per-day rates of $1,350–$2,850.
These are planning ranges — the pricing for your specific date, group size, and route is in the quote, which takes about a minute to get. Check the Newark party bus prices page for more detail, or call 201-479-9001 any time.
A Game-Night Example
To give you an idea: a 30-person Knicks fan group books a 30-passenger party bus for a Saturday night game. Pickup at 5:30 PM from a hotel near Newark Penn Station, curbside at Madison Square Garden's Seventh Avenue entrance by 6:45 PM — 45 minutes before tip-off. The bus stages on Ninth Avenue during the game, and the agreed pickup corner is Eighth Avenue at West 31st Street at 10:30 PM after the final buzzer.
A 5-hour weekend rental at that size might run $1,625–$2,125 total — roughly $54–$71 per person. Compare that to $75–$90 in rideshare costs per car, per direction, for six cars needed to move the same group, plus two Lincoln Tunnel tolls per car each way and the post-event surge. The per-head math on the bus tends to look better than most groups expect once you run it out.
A single 30-passenger party bus replaces roughly 8 rideshare cars. That's 8 sets of Lincoln Tunnel tolls, 8 bets on Midtown surge pricing after the game, and 8 pickup ETAs that do not line up — versus one flat rate split by the group and one pre-arranged pickup corner that the bus is already at when you walk out.
Driving from Newark to Madison Square Garden: Routes and Timing
The standard approach from Newark to Midtown is the New Jersey Turnpike northeast to the Lincoln Tunnel, entering Manhattan at 38th Street and heading south to 34th Street and the MSG block. Off-peak — think a Tuesday evening before 5:00 PM or a weekend afternoon before 3:00 PM — the run takes 30 to 40 minutes from Newark. On event evenings, that estimate climbs.
The Lincoln Tunnel approaches on Route 3 and Route 139 in New Jersey back up starting around 5:00 PM on weekdays and earlier on weekend game days; the 38th Street exit in Manhattan leads directly into the Midtown grid, where game-night traffic on Eighth Avenue can add another 15 to 20 minutes to the final stretch. Budget 45 to 60 minutes on event evenings, and build in additional time for playoff or major concert nights when demand on the Tunnel approaches peaks.
The Lincoln Tunnel toll in 2026 is $16.79 per car E-ZPass peak, $14.79 E-ZPass off-peak, and $23.30 via Tolls by Mail — all-electronic, no cash booths. For a group spreading across six cars to move 25 people, that's $100–$140 in Tunnel tolls alone per direction, on top of the $40–$66 per car to park near MSG. A Newark charter bus to Madison Square Garden makes one Tunnel crossing, at the commercial vehicle rate, and the per-head cost on that single shared toll is a fraction of what six separate cars pay.
We recommend checking the official MSG directions page for current access information before your trip.
Parking Near Madison Square Garden: The Context a Group Needs
Madison Square Garden has no dedicated parking lot of its own — the arena sits on top of Penn Station in the middle of Midtown Manhattan, and street parking on event nights is effectively nonexistent due to metered enforcement and permit restrictions. The closest option is the New Garden Garage at 315–319 West 33rd Street, the official MSG event garage directly across the street with 1,500 self-park spaces. Beyond that, the nearest garages include Dock Parking Penn 1 at 272 West 34th Street (~123 feet from the venue), MPG Parking at 355 West 34th Street (~$40 on event nights), and Icon Parking at 161 West 36th Street (~$35).
Across the board, nearby garage rates on event nights run $40–$66, and SpotHero — the official parking partner of Madison Square Garden — lets groups pre-book specific spaces at 10–30% below walk-up rates before they sell out. Pre-booking matters most for sold-out concerts and playoff games, when the garages closest to MSG can fill days before the event.
For a group of 30 people arriving in 8 cars, that's $320–$528 in parking alone for a single evening, on top of eight Tunnel crossings at $16.79 apiece ($134 E-ZPass going in, same coming out). A Newark party bus rental to Madison Square Garden makes one trip in and one trip out, parks nowhere, and charges one rate split across your entire group. That's the math that makes the bus a practical decision, not just a convenient one.
What's Happening at Madison Square Garden in 2026
Madison Square Garden runs year-round with a calendar that rarely has a quiet week. For group trips, the most-requested dates fall into a few reliable categories — and knowing which ones fill up vehicles fastest tells you when to book early.
New York Knicks (NBA). The Knicks made a deep playoff run in 2026, including Eastern Conference Finals home games at MSG in May. The regular season runs October through April, with the most in-demand home games against the Lakers, Celtics, and Golden State Warriors drawing ticket and transportation demand well in advance.
See the official MSG events page for the current home slate.
New York Rangers (NHL). The Rangers play their home schedule at MSG from October through April, with playoff hockey extending into May and June. Rangers playoff nights at Madison Square Garden are among the loudest events the building hosts — and one of the most common reasons Newark fan groups book a charter bus to MSG rather than risk the post-game Penn Station platform scene.
Concerts and touring shows. Madison Square Garden's 2026 concert schedule includes Mumford & Sons' PRIZEFIGHTER TOUR (August 11–13), Olivia Dean (August 14–15), and a calendar that stays active with major touring artists through the year. Sold-out concert nights see the same post-event Seventh Avenue congestion as playoff games — the crowd size is similar, and the rideshare surge is just as real.
For Newark groups heading to MSG for a concert, see the Newark concert bus rental page for more on group transportation to New York City shows.
Comedy and special events. MSG also hosts major comedy events, boxing and WWE cards, BIG EAST basketball, and family programming throughout the year. Comedy nights like Kill Tony (August 8) draw large group bookings because the late dismissal time makes rideshare back to New Jersey expensive and NJT scheduling tighter.
For events ending after 11:00 PM, confirm the last NJT departure from Penn Station before your group relies on the train for the return trip — and if the last train doesn't work, the bus waiting outside is the cleaner answer.
For any marquee event — playoff game, championship round, or major headlining concert — booking a Newark charter bus or party bus to Madison Square Garden 4 to 8 weeks in advance is the standard. Last-minute requests on high-demand nights face both limited vehicle availability and premium pricing. Call 201-479-9001 to lock in your date as soon as it's confirmed.
Tips for Visiting Madison Square Garden
Bag policy. MSG enforces a clear-bag policy: one clear bag no larger than 12″ × 12″ × 6″ per person, or a one-gallon clear zip-seal bag, plus a small clutch no larger than 4.5″ × 6.5″. Backpacks, tinted bags, and oversized carry-ins are not permitted.
Review the official MSG visitor guide for current bag rules, as policies can update between events.
Arrive with time to spare. MSG entrances are in the middle of the Penn Station block, and the security lines on big nights move quickly but start long. Plan to be at the curbside drop-off 45 to 60 minutes before tip-off or showtime, especially if your group is large — walking 30 people through security together takes time that getting there at the 10-minute mark will not allow.
Post-event pickup window. Agree on the exact pickup corner and time before your group goes inside. Seventh Avenue at the main entrance, Eighth Avenue near Chase A or C, or a block removed from the main exit on West 31st or West 33rd — pick one, write it in the group chat, and stick to it.
Cell service inside MSG can be spotty during sellouts, and the post-event crowd makes regrouping at the exit confusing. A pre-agreed corner on Eighth Avenue, two minutes' walk from the arena, is often cleaner than the Seventh Avenue main entrance on nights when the perimeter is active.
Contact MSG directly. Madison Square Garden's general information line is (212) 465-6741, and the full directions and access details are on the official MSG directions page. If your event is a high-security game night — playoff round, major concert — a quick check of that page in the 48 hours before your event confirms whether the current access plan matches what was in effect when you booked.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where does a charter bus drop off at Madison Square Garden?
On standard event nights, buses and limos drop off on Seventh Avenue southbound just north of West 31st Street, or on West 31st and West 33rd Streets between Seventh and Eighth Avenues. For major playoff games and high-security events, the NYPD implements a perimeter from West 29th to West 35th Streets that closes Seventh Avenue to vehicles starting at 4:00 PM — on those nights, the drop shifts to Eighth Avenue, putting your group at the Chase A, B, C, or D entrances on the building's west side. Confirm the specific approach for your event date when you book.
Where does the bus stage or wait during the event at MSG?
There is no charter bus lot at Madison Square Garden — it is in Midtown Manhattan, not a suburban stadium. The bus will move off the curbside drop point and stage nearby, typically on Ninth or Tenth Avenue a few blocks west. The post-event pickup spot and time are agreed on before your group goes inside so the bus is right there when you walk out.
This is a standard part of the booking arrangement, not something you figure out at 10:30 PM in a crowd of 19,000.
Is a charter bus or the NJT train better for a Newark group going to MSG?
For small groups of four or fewer, NJ Transit's Northeast Corridor from Newark Penn Station is hard to beat — 15 to 20 minutes to Penn Station, directly below MSG, for about $11–15 round trip per person. For groups of 15 or more, the coordination problem — getting everyone on the same train, navigating Penn Station together, and managing the post-game platform crowd — makes a charter bus or party bus rental the cleaner option. One vehicle, one pickup address in Newark, one drop at the arena curbside, and one pre-arranged pickup after the game.
The price per head is also more competitive than most groups expect once you split it across 20 or 30 people and compare it to the rideshare costs for the same headcount in separate cars.
How much does parking near MSG cost on event nights?
Nearby garages run $40–$66 on event nights, with prepaid rates via SpotHero (the official MSG parking partner) or ParkWhiz typically 10–30% below walk-up. The New Garden Garage at 315–319 West 33rd Street — the official MSG event garage directly across the street — has 1,500 spaces but fills early on playoff and sold-out concert nights. Pre-booking is strongly recommended for any high-demand event.
There is no free or reliable street parking in this block of Midtown Manhattan on event nights.
How long does it take to drive from Newark to MSG?
Off-peak, the drive via the Lincoln Tunnel runs 30 to 40 minutes. On event evenings, with Lincoln Tunnel approach backup on Route 3 and Route 139 in New Jersey and Midtown street congestion on the Manhattan side, budget 45 to 60 minutes. For major events where Seventh Avenue is partially restricted, add additional time for the approach and drop-off navigation.
Build in a buffer so your group reaches the curbside 45 minutes before tip-off or showtime.
What is the NYPD security perimeter at MSG and how does it affect bus drop-off?
For major events — Knicks and Rangers playoff games, NBA Finals rounds, headline concerts — the NYPD sets a security perimeter running from West 29th to West 35th Streets between Sixth and Eighth Avenues. At its fullest activation, Seventh Avenue between West 29th and West 35th is closed to all vehicles starting at 4:00 PM, and only ticketed guests and credentialed personnel can enter the perimeter on foot. Bus drop-off on those nights moves to Eighth Avenue, where the Chase A, B, C, and D entrances are all accessible without crossing the vehicle-restricted zone.
The perimeter is activated based on NYPD's event assessment for each specific game — always confirm which entrances and drop zones are open for your specific date.
How many people fit on a party bus or charter bus for an MSG trip from Newark?
Vehicles in the network serving Newark range from 14-passenger Sprinter limos and vans up through 15- to 50-passenger party buses, 15- to 35-passenger minibuses, and 40- to 56-passenger charter buses. A full 56-passenger charter bus handles a large corporate outing or fan group in one vehicle. For most fan groups of 20 to 35, a minibus or mid-size party bus is the right fit and navigates Midtown's narrower side streets more easily than a full-size coach.
Call 201-479-9001 or use the online form and the quote will match the right vehicle to your headcount.
How far in advance should I book a Newark party bus to Madison Square Garden?
For regular-season Knicks and Rangers games on a standard weeknight, 2 to 4 weeks of lead time is workable. For playoff rounds, sold-out concerts, and any event that draws wide New York metro demand — Mumford & Sons, a Finals round, a championship watch party — book 4 to 8 weeks out. The right-size vehicles for an MSG event night are among the most requested in the Newark and New York area, and availability on short notice during a playoff run is genuinely limited.
Once your event date is confirmed, locking in early is always the better call.
Does the Knicks or Rangers schedule affect bus availability from Newark?
Yes, meaningfully. During the Knicks' and Rangers' respective playoff runs, vehicle demand across the entire Newark and greater New York area spikes — not just for MSG trips but for all group transportation. The 2026 Knicks playoff run, which extended into NBA Finals rounds at MSG, created the kind of demand that reduces available inventory quickly.
If you are planning around a playoff series and do not have confirmed dates yet, call 201-479-9001 to understand what is available and get on the list early. Waiting until the series advances means competing with every other group in the metro that had the same idea.
Can a Newark charter bus pick up at multiple stops before MSG?
Yes. A multi-stop pickup — say, one address in the Ironbound, one near Rutgers-Newark, and one at a hotel by Newark Penn Station — is a standard arrangement. Each additional stop adds to the total trip time, so build that into your departure timing to arrive at MSG with enough buffer before your event starts.
The group size and the route details both factor into the quote, so mention all pickup points when you request pricing.
