bts gillette stadium uber wait times and survival guide

if you are planning to take an uber or lyft after a bts show at gillette stadium expect to wait anywhere from 1.5 to 3 hours easily. gillette is out in foxborough with basically one main road route 1 so getting 65,000+ people out at midnight is an absolute mess. uber prices will also surge insanely high, often hitting over $150 to $200 just to get back toward boston.

the official rideshare pickup is at lot 15 by bass pro shops. drivers get stuck in the exact same bumper to bumper traffic on route 1 as everyone else so even if a driver accepts your ride request, it might take them an hour just to physically reach the lot. cellphone service also gets totally jammed up right when the show ends making it hard to even load the app.

if you want to avoid paying crazy surge prices or waiting in lot 15 until 1 am, a lot of people walk about a mile off stadium property down route 1 toward local business plazas or side streets before calling an uber. another smart move is checking out prked to rent a driveway from a local neighbor near the stadium. renting a private driveway nearby on prked lets you skip lot traffic, keep your car secure, and walk straight to a vehicle without relying on uber or sitting in stadium lot grids for hours.

if you do stick with uber, walk over to lot 15 right as the final encore starts, bring a portable charger, and be prepared to hang out at patriot place for an hour or two after the concert until the traffic clears and surge rates drop down.

hope this helps
