1. Boston event trains start at South Station and stop at Back Bay and Dedham Corporate Center. You can board at any of these stops.
2. For select events there is also a Providence event train. It stops at Providence, Pawtucket/Central Falls, Attleboro and Mansfield. The 2026 schedule lists one for each remaining Patriots home game.
3. Event trains usually arrive about 1 hour before the event starts.
4. Buy the event ticket in mTicket. For Patriots games, sales open at 11 am on the Monday before the game. Regular Commuter Rail tickets and passes are not valid on event trains. Event tickets can sell out and cannot be refunded or exchanged.
5. Activate the ticket just before you board the train to the stadium. Activate it again just before you board the train back.
6. Regular Franklin/Foxboro Line trains reach Foxboro on weekdays only (10 round trips to and from South Station) and are not timed to events.
