Music fans who plan to see Coldplay dazzle at Gillette Stadium on July 15 and 16 now have the chance to snag their ride to the event, as special train service tickets go on sale Tuesday. Taking a round trip from Boston to Foxboro, these tickets are available through the mTicket app at 11 a.m., courtesy of the MBTA commuter rail and Keolis. As reported by Boston 25 News, the tickets are priced at $20 for the round trip, ensuring an expected high demand is met with limited frustration.
In a move sure to avoid the chaotic post-concert rush, no refunds or exchanges are made available, with all passengers being required to secure their tickets before boarding, per the MBTA announcement. This includes children 11 and under, despite the caprices of herding them through large crowds, making pre-planning essential for this musical excursion. The Sun Chronicle highlights that Coldplay is not touring alone; they will be joined by Arya Starr and Elyanna, bringing a blend of international flair to Foxboro for the first time since 2017 as part of their Music of the Spheres World Tour.
Attendees should note that the special event train service from Foxboro Station to Boston isn't a night owl, with the last weekday train departing at 10:49 p.m., while the concert-dedicated train will leave 30 minutes after the show wraps up each night. Careful planning is advised to avoid being stranded post-Coldplay, as the Boston-bound service is not aligned exactly with the stars and their encore performances.
The schedule for the event is as straightforward as it gets: a departure from South Station at 3:45 p.m., a quick stop at Back Bay by 3:50 p.m., and a skip over to Dedham Corporate Center for a 4:05 p.m. take-off, ending with a 4:45 p.m. arrival at Foxboro Station, according to the details given by Boston 25 News. For those eager to beat the rush or soak in the pre-concert atmosphere, catching that afternoon train might just be your golden ticket. The trains from Foxboro Station will be departing 30 minutes after the Coldplay concert, giving fans the grace period they need to find their way back.
