Concertgoers can avoid traffic and take the train to Gillette Stadium for concerts all summer long
Special event train tickets will be available for purchase at 11 a.m. two weeks before each show exclusively via the mTicket app
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – The MBTA Commuter Rail and Keolis will be providing round-trip, special event train service to concerts at Gillette Stadium all summer long. Special event train service has been scheduled for the full lineup of 2024 concerts at Gillette Stadium:
- The Rolling Stones Hackney Diamonds Tour (May 30)
- Zach Bryan The Quittin Time Tour (June 26 & July 17)
- Metallica M72 World Tour (Aug. 2 & Aug. 4*)
- P!nk 2024 Summer Carnival Tour (Aug. 21)
- Kenny Chesney Sun Goes Down Tour (Aug. 23, Aug. 24* & Aug. 25*)
*Denotes service from Boston and Providence. All other concerts will have service from Boston only.
Boston special event trains will depart from South Station with stops at Back Bay and Dedham Corporate Center before arriving at Foxboro Station. Providence special event trains will depart from Providence Station and make stops at Pawtucket/Central Falls, Attleboro and Mansfield before arriving at Foxboro Station. The complete schedule for each show will be announced closer to the show dates at mbta.com/destinations/gillette-stadium, but each special event train is projected to arrive in Foxborough approximately one hour before each concert starts and will depart Foxboro Station 30 minutes after each concert ends.
Roundtrip tickets are $20 and can be purchased beginning at 11 a.m. two weeks before each show date exclusively via the mTicket app. For concerts with multiple Gillette Stadium dates, tickets will go on sale two weeks before the first show date (i.e. all special event train tickets for Metallica will go on sale at 11 a.m. on July 19, two weeks before Aug. 2). Please note: due to the duration of time between the Zach Bryan concerts, special event train tickets will go on sale separately for the two shows, two weeks before each respective date (June 12 for the June 26 show, and July 3 for the July 17 show).
Tickets for each special event train will be sold separately and need to be purchased for the correct corresponding date, show and station of origin (Boston or Providence). Due to anticipated high demand, no refunds or exchanges will be available. Tickets must be purchased prior to boarding the event train.
Please note: These are special event trains and ticket sales will be stopped once the maximum capacity is reached. Regular Commuter Rail tickets and passes are not valid for special event trains. For weekday concerts, guests choosing to travel to Gillette Stadium for the show via the Foxboro Station weekday Commuter Rail service will not be able to return to Boston following the conclusion of the concert via the special event train without purchasing a corresponding special event train ticket. Riders are also reminded that any prohibited items that do not comply with the stadium’s Clear Bag Policy will not be permitted on the train and no personal items may be left on the train during the concert.
