Pop star Ed Sheeran is headlining two shows at Gillette Stadium this June 30 and July 1, and given the number of his fans who probably don’t have their driver’s licenses yet, interest in the MBTA commuter rail train to Foxboro will probably be in high demand. Just look at what happened with Taylor Swift.
With that in mind, concertgoers interested in taking the special event train to the July 1 concert should be ready to purchase when they go on sale Friday, June 16, at 11 a.m. on the mTicket app. (There’s no special train for the June 30 show, but you can brave the regular commuter rail, if you dare. Just note that the last train out of Foxboro that night is at 10:20 p.m., so you could miss the encores.)
For the July 1 concert, the MBTA will run one train from Boston and one train from Providence.

Depart South Station: 3:35 p.m.
Depart Back Bay: 3:40 p.m.
