NJ Transit Blames WWE For Fans Being Stuck At MetLife after Wrestlemania 35

By Jake Drury Last updated Apr 8, 2019

WrestleMania was a long show. If you were there live, the show didn’t end until 12:30 AM. Being let out of the arena that late led to a big commute problem for the 80,000 in attendance. Hours after the show was over, fans were posting pictures of their travel woes.

It’s past 1 a.m. and 80,000 people are trying to find a way home from MetLife Stadium. Taxis and Ubers are running over $100 at the moment to get back to Manhattan or Brooklyn if you can even find one. Some drivers are walking around the Uber/Lyft area offering rides for $200.

It’s also raining, and the line for the $7.50 coach buses is more than a mile long. https://t.co/l6VJV5RLxu

At the time, no one knew what the issue was getting all of these fans home or to hotels. New Jersey Transit spoke out and blamed WWE for not telling them the show would be so late.

WWE has yet to issue a statement on the matter.
