Going to New York -- question about Yankees tickets and MSG concert seats

Just do stubhub or seat geek for you tickets. It will show you the view from you seats plus you'll save a couple bucks.

do NOT do this for yankee games. you can't print at home anymore for those games. you need a hard ticket or an electronic (phone) ticket. so unless you're buying a few weeks out, don't do stubhub.

not a bad seat in the house for yankees. just know if it's a day game to try and sit on that third base side to get more shade. don't sit in the outfield for a day game, you will bake.

for MSG, there are some pretty shitty seats up top. especially way up top with view obstructed by that stupid chase bridge. try to sit lower up top if you have to be up top, but down low is obviously much better.

uber or cab. it's not worth saving the few bucks to ride the bus to the subway, it's a major pain in the arse, especially if there are 3 or 4. max in a cab is 4. if you have 5 or 6, then do an uber XL.

Was going to use stub hub the day before or the day of and just download them to our phones. Is this not a good plan?

---

will not work. if you're gonna use stubhub, order now. or order through the yankee's site/ticketmaster. tickets really aren't that expensive at all.

Also, we are flying into Newark. Best to take a cab, uber or the air train from airport to Manhattan? Hotel is near Times Square and we will land about 3 hrs before check in so time is not a major factor. 3 adults

what time of day? i'm guessing around noon if checkin is 3 hours later. your cheapest option is to take airtrain to NJ transit to Penn Station, which should cost around $12 per person. That puts you in walking distance of times square (34th and 8th is Penn). Your other option is to cab or uber, which will be probably around $25 per person including tax, toll, and tip.

A final option is the bus that runs from Newark to Manhattan and drops off in times square. It's about $15 per person I believe. It all depends on your budget, really. The convenient option is the cab, the cheapest is AirTrain. Bus is in-between.

Other than the good options noted by Quail, I often use a driver for pick up at LGA. Great guy, nice black SUV, waiting for you with a sign. Not outrageously expensive. Let me know if you'd like his info.

You need the physical ticket or an e-ticket (only available through ticketmaster) for anything at Yankee stadium. Stubhub and other sites will nto work unless they can physically get you the ticket beforehand. Print-off tickets are a no go.

some tickets here have eticket options if I'm reading it right

(There's a phone icon or a message about the seats and some do say IOS or Android needed)

Yankees only allow stub hub by mail
Got to plan ahead no electronic tickets
