Madison Square Garden: A Practical Venue Guide

The Garden, in brief

Madison Square Garden sits in New York, NY, and the venue's own pages name a single accessible entrance point and a long list of food and drink spots tied to specific section numbers. Ticketholders should treat the venue's event detail page as the place to confirm the rules for their particular show: MSG states that government mandates, venue protocols and event requirements are subject to change, and guests should check their event detail page on the venue website to confirm the details of their specific event.

MSG Entertainment and MSG Sports reserve the right to modify, revise, discontinue or terminate these guidelines at any time with or without prior notice.

If you are planning a night out, start with SeatCommons and pair your seats with the logistics below.

Getting there

The venue's directions page names Lyft as the Official Rideshare Partner of Madison Square Garden. It also states that there is no officially designated rideshare zone directly at Madison Square Garden, so plan your pickup and drop-off with that in mind rather than counting on a marked zone at the doors.

The sources checked do not list subway stations, bus routes or a walking route from a specific transit stop, so those details are not confirmed here.

The venue's directions page also notes that CLEAR lane entry is subject to availability.

Entrances and finding your section

Accessible entrances are located at 8 Penn on 33rd Street and 8th Avenue. That is the specific entrance the venue's accessibility page names, and it is the one to head for if you need step-free access.

Food and drink locations are organized by section number, which gives you a simple way to orient yourself once inside: the concession names on the venue's food and drink page are listed against section numbers such as 102, 104, 201 and 319. The sources checked do not describe the arena's level layout or gate numbering beyond this, so those details are not confirmed here.

Food and drink by section

The venue publishes its food and drink lineup section by section, so you can pick your concessions by seat number instead of wandering the concourse. Here is the full run from the venue's own page.

The sources checked do not state what guests may bring into the venue, so outside food and drink rules are not confirmed here. Check your event detail page before you travel, since venue protocols can change.

• Section 103: Mixed Drinks
• Section 104, Section 201 and Section 207: Garden Market
