If applicable, any subsequent special event train service to Gillette Stadium will be announced and updated at mbta.com/destinations/gillette-stadium once confirmed.

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 special event train schedule for each event will be published closer to each respective date at mbta.com/destinations/gillette-stadium, but each special event train is projected to arrive in Foxborough approximately ninety minutes to one hour before each event starts and will depart Foxboro Station 30 minutes after each event ends.

Roundtrip tickets are $20 and can be purchased beginning at 11 a.m. two weeks before each event date exclusively via the mTicket app. Please note: for weekend events, tickets will go on sale at 11 a.m. on the Friday leading up to the weekend two weeks before the event (i.e. tickets for the Sept. 5 & Sept. 6 Bruno Mars special event trains will go on sale Friday, Aug. 21 at 11 a.m.). For events with multiple Gillette Stadium dates, tickets will go on sale two weeks before the first event date (i.e. all special event train tickets for the Savannah Bananas vs. Loco Beach Coconuts will go on sale at 11 a.m. on Aug. 14, two weeks before Aug. 28).

Tickets for each special event train will be sold separately and need to be purchased for the correct corresponding date, event 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 events, guests choosing to travel to Gillette Stadium for the event via the Foxboro Station weekday Commuter Rail service will not be able to return to Boston following the conclusion of the event 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 event.
