Fans traveling from branches other than Port Washington can reach Shea Stadium by taking a regularly scheduled train to Woodside Station, then changing to an eastbound Port Washington Branch train.  Since Shea Stadium is located in Zone 1, tickets to that zone from outlying stations are valid to Shea, however, passengers must retain their ticket stubs and inform ticket collectors of their intention to travel to Shea Stadium.

The Railroad’s special Family Fare is a great way for future big leaguers to see their favorite team.  Children, ages 5 through 11, can ride for only 75-cents each when tickets are purchased at a ticket office or from a ticket machine, during off-peak hours, when accompanied by an adult paying the regular off-peak fare.  Parents with monthly or weekly tickets just pay for the children.  Up to four children can travel with each parent (or guardian, 18 or older) at this special rate.  The Family Fare is $1 per child if purchased on-board a train.  For travel during peak hours, the child fare is one-half the regular one-way fare.  Children under 5 ride for free at all times.

Shea Stadium timetables are available at LIRR ticket offices and terminals.  Fans can also contact the LIRR’s 24-hour Travel Information Center.  The numbers are, in Suffolk County 631-231-LIRR, in Nassau County 516-822-LIRR or in New York City at 718-217-LIRR.  The Travel Information Center’s TDD telephone number for the hearing impaired is 718-558-3022.
