Strike a Pose on CTA! The Most Affordable Ride to See the Material Girl at United Center and Other Events Around Town

February 1, 2024

CTA’s trains and buses are the best and most affordable ways to get to the Madonna concert tonight and various sporting events, concerts, and more festivities across Chicago

Chicagoland is returning to days with 10 hours of sunshine and what better way to venture out across the city than to take the CTA. Customers can save money by purchasing an unlimited rides pass, either the 1-Day ($5) – far more economical and convenient than the price of gas and parking - or the 3-Day ($15) pass – a real budget-saving move.

Service for Upcoming Events

United Center

Get to and from the following events via the #20 Madison and #50 Damen bus routes. Customers can also take the #19 United Center Express route post event:

  • Madonna – Thu. 2/1 and Fri. 2/2 at 8:30 p.m.
  • Sacramento Kings vs. Chicago Bulls – Sat. 2/3 at 7 p.m.
  • Minnesota Timberwolves vs. Chicago Bulls – Tue. 2/6 at 7 p.m.
  • Minnesota Wild vs. Chicago Blackhawks – Wed. 2/7 at 8:30 p.m.

Know before you go!

The CTA strongly recommends customers allow extra travel time and plan ahead by downloading the Ventra app, which allows you to manage your Ventra account, and also features a new trip planning tool powered by Google Maps.
