How Can I Attend the Rally?

Tickets for the rally are available through the Trump campaign website. Supporters can register for tickets on a first-come, first-served basis and can receive a maximum of two tickets per cell phone number. Due to anticipated security lines, it is recommended to arrive early once the doors open.

Transportation and Road Closures

Attendees are encouraged to take public transportation to Madison Square Garden. Penn Station, located beneath the Garden, is accessible via the 1, 2, and 3 subway lines. Other subway lines with access to the arena include the B, D, F, N, Q, R, A, C, and E. Penn Station is also a hub for the Long Island Railroad.

Trump's Reasoning Behind the NYC Rally

Trump has stated that he believes he can win his home state of New York and has been discussing the possibility of holding a rally at Madison Square Garden since March 2023. The rally will be a chance for him to speak about his policies and how he would lead New York as president.

The campaign has said that Trump's message to New York City is about a return to economic prosperity, rising wages, quality jobs, strong borders, and safer neighborhoods.

The rally is also an opportunity for the campaign to fundraise and give a boost to down-ballot candidates.

Madison Square Garden's History with Campaign Rallies

Madison Square Garden has hosted the Democratic National Convention three times (1976, 1980, and 1992) and the Republican National Convention once (2004). The Garden's predecessor also hosted several rallies in the past, including speeches by Herbert Hoover, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Harry Truman, John F. Kennedy, and George Wallace. The last candidate to hold a rally at Madison Square Garden in late October is believed to be George Wallace in 1968.
