Visitor & Driver Tips

Pre-booking: For major events at the Prudential Center, spaces can fill rapidly; utilizing an online pre-booking service is highly recommended to secure a spot and avoid event-day surge pricing.
Arrival Timing: For sellout concerts or high-profile games, arrive at least 60 to 90 minutes before the start time to navigate downtown traffic and secure your preferred stall.
GPS Navigation: Ensure your GPS is set to the Market Street entrance to avoid getting misdirected by one-way traffic patterns common in Newark\'s center.
Post-Event Exit: Expect moderate delays when exiting immediately following large events; consider grabbing a local bite to eat nearby to allow traffic to clear.
