PETCO, MTS Gears Up for Rolling Stones Concert Sunday

Legendary rock band The Rolling Stones will kick off their ZIP CODE tour in San Diego on Sunday, May 24 in front of a sell-out concert crowd at PETCO Park and MTS is offering mobile ticketing and scheduling extra trains to accommodate the large crowds.

To avoid Trolley ticket lines and speed up the boarding process, concert-goers can purchase and store Trolley passes on their smart phones at any time prior to arriving at transit stations by using mTicket, MTS’s free mobile ticketing app. Multiple Tickets can be purchased on one smart phone too, making it easy for friends traveling to the concert together. To download the app, visit www.sdmts.com/mTicket.asp. Fans can also find the app by search for “mTicket” in the App Store or on Google Play.

All three Trolley lines provide direct service to PETCO Park. The Green Line serves the Gaslamp Quarter Trolley Station, which is only two blocks from PETCO Park. The Blue Line and Orange Line both serve the 12th & Imperial Transit Center, just steps away from PETCO Park.

The last train on each line will depart approximately 45 minutes after the end of the concert. Additionally, the following service schedule will apply:
