Here's what to know as fans head to her shows in New York. MetLife Stadium is located in East Rutherford, New Jersey — five miles west of New York City. Its address is 1 MetLife Stadium Drive. Doors are set to open at 5:30 p.m. ET with the show scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. ET, although Beyoncé has been starting a little after 8 p.m. each night. The ticket office is located in the West VIP Lobby and is accessible through the MetLife Gate (park in Lots F or G). The parking lots are set to open at 2 p.m. ET, and tailgating will be allowed. The lots will close approximately two hours after the conclusion of the event. Fans can purchase parking in advance for all five shows, with general parking priced at$44 after service fees. For concertgoers looking to take ride-share services such as Uber or Lyft, there's a designated zone located in Lot E off of West Peripheral Road, right outside of the Verizon Gate. Fans are encouraged to use public transportation for the event. For large events such as this tour, NJ Transit operates the Meadowlands Rail Service that delivers guests directly to the front door of the stadium. Earlier this month there was aNew Jersey transit strike. However, the agency recently reached a deal with striking rail engineers, and trains are operating as usual. Fans must follow the NFL clear bag policy at MetLife, in which guests are allowed to bring bags that are clear and do not exceed 12 by 6 by 12 inches. Fans are also permitted to bring one-gallon clear plastic freezer bags or small, non-clear bags that do not exceed 4.5 by 6.5 inches. There are exceptions for medically necessary items, which will be made after inspection at a gate. Banners and signs of any size are typically not permitted.
