This event is the only scheduled joint performance by Stewart, Mulaney and Davidson in 2025.

Stewart, a New Jersey native, is best known for hosting “The Daily Show” and recently returned to the program part-time

Mulaney, a former “Saturday Night Live” writer and Emmy-winning stand-up comic, has released a series of acclaimed Netflix specials and recently created and hosted “Everybody’s in LA.”

Davidson, another SNL alumnus, has transitioned into film and television with roles in “The King of Staten Island,” “Bodies Bodies Bodies” and his semi-autobiographical series “Bupkis.”

If you’re a fan of sharp wit, unexpected punchlines, and three comedy powerhouses on the same stage, then Jon Stewart, John Mulaney, and Pete Davidson’s Newark show is probably at the top of your must-see list this season. But what if you waited too long and now you’re scrambling for a last-minute ticket? Don’t worry — where there’s a will (and the internet), there’s a way. Here’s your practical guide to scoring seats just in time to catch this comedic trio live at the Prudential Center.

First, check Ticketmaster, the official primary seller. Even if it shows “Sold Out,” keep refreshing. It’s surprisingly common for new tickets to be released close to the event date. This can happen when the venue finalizes the stage layout or releases VIP holds. Set up a Ticketmaster account in advance, link your payment method, and enable instant checkout — every second counts when you’re competing with other desperate comedy fans!

Next, pivot to reputable resale marketplaces like StubHub, SeatGeek, Vivid Seats, or Gametime. These platforms specialize in last-minute ticket resales, and prices can fluctuate dramatically. Early resales might be pricey, but the closer you get to showtime, the more likely sellers will drop their prices to avoid losing money altogether. Some fans have even snagged better-than-face-value deals an hour before curtain time! Use price alerts and don’t be afraid to wait until the day of the show — but be ready to buy instantly when you spot a deal.

For those seeking an extra touch of luxury, explore suite-sharing websites like SuiteHop. Premium boxes or suites at the Prudential Center sometimes have extra seats that people resell individually. It might cost a bit more, but you get better service, better views, and an unforgettable experience with your favorite comedians.

If official and resale sites fail you, turn to social media and fan forums. Search local Facebook groups, Reddit threads (like r/Newark or r/StandUpComedy), and neighborhood community pages. Many fans end up with extra tickets due to friends backing out last minute — and they often prefer to sell to another fan at face value rather than lose money or risk a sketchy buyer. Be safe: meet in public and use secure payment methods like PayPal Goods & Services.

One underused trick is to show up at the venue on the day of the show. Sometimes, the box office will release a handful of “production hold” tickets — seats reserved for crew or special guests that become available if unused. This is a gamble but can pay off if you’re local and flexible.

Another handy option is to use last-minute ticket apps like Gametime or TodayTix. These are designed for spontaneous entertainment seekers. They often have mobile-only “flash deals” and instant delivery so you can walk straight to the door without printing anything. Many buyers swear by these apps for sporting events and comedy shows alike.

A final piece of advice: keep an open mind about seating. The goal is to be in the building, laughing your head off. Even the so-called “nosebleeds” offer a good view in comedy shows since the sound and screens ensure you don’t miss a single joke. If you’re determined to get closer, check again right before showtime — prime spots sometimes reappear when VIP guests no-show.

So, don’t panic if you’ve put this off until the last minute. With smart browsing, quick fingers, and a bit of luck, you can still join the crowd roaring with laughter as Jon Stewart, John Mulaney, and Pete Davidson deliver a night of comedy gold. Happy hunting and enjoy the show — it promises to be one you’ll be quoting with friends for years to come!
