PURCHASING TICKETS

Round trip tickets must be purchased:  Customers traveling on NJ TRANSIT trains to the Meadowlands should purchase their round trip tickets from their originating station TO THE MEADOWLANDS to avoid delays boarding trains. 

Tickets can be purchased at ticket windows or Ticket Vending Machines (TVMs).  Please note that the TVM will print TWO TICKETS (EACH WAY).   Allow time for both tickets to print before leaving the machine.   Each ticket will open the fare gate at Secaucus one time.

If your return trip is to a different destination than your origin station, present your ticket to the train conductor to purchase an “extension of journey” fare.

Last train from the Meadowlands will depart no earlier then 12:40 AM.
