Charlie Puth brings his Whatever’s Clever! World Tour to Madison Square Garden on Friday, May 29 at 7:30 PM ET — and if you’ve got tickets, you’re in for a night worth planning carefully. Here’s everything you need to know before you go.
Getting There
MSG sits in the heart of Midtown Manhattan, and late May in New York can be breezy. The walk from the subway exit or a parking garage to the arena doors is short but exposed — check the forecast as show day approaches and dress for the commute. Once you’re through the doors, it’s all about the music.
Public transit is your best bet: Penn Station is right next door, and multiple subway lines stop at 34th Street. If you’re driving, book a parking garage in advance — Midtown on a Friday night fills fast and street parking is nearly impossible.
Rep the Tour
Showing up in gear makes a show like this more fun. Pick up a Charlie Puth t-shirt or a Charlie Puth hoodie to wear in — the hoodie is a smart call since arenas tend to run cold once the AC kicks in. A Charlie Puth hat rounds out the look, and a Charlie Puth poster is worth grabbing to commemorate the night.
Protect Your Ears
MSG is a big, loud room. If you want to hear Charlie’s signature pop-precise production clearly — without the ringing ears the next morning — tuck a pair of concert ear plugs high fidelity into your pocket. They cut volume without muddying the mix, so you catch every note.
Practical Tips
- Arrive early: Doors typically open 60–90 minutes before showtime. Aim to be in your seat well before 7:30 PM ET.
- Clear bag policy: MSG enforces a clear bag policy. Check the venue’s guidelines before you pack.
- Layer up: Bring a Charlie Puth hoodie or a light layer in your bag — arena temps can dip once the show gets going and the AC runs full blast.
- Mobile tickets: Have your tickets ready on your phone before you hit the entrance lines to keep things moving.
Charlie Puth at MSG on May 29 is shaping up to be a great Friday night out. Lock in your plan, grab your merch, and get ready.
