ORANGE – With thousands of fans visiting Anaheim for the Major League Baseball All-Star game, the Orange County Transportation Authority will be running extra Metrolink train service to Angel Stadium of Anaheim on Tuesday, July 13.

Special southbound and northbound trains from Anaheim Station will depart 30 minutes after the end of the MLB All-Star game. The trains will depart from Anaheim, in the parking lot of Angel Stadium of Anaheim, and make all regular stops on Metrolink’s Orange County line.

Heading to the game, two trains from Oceanside and three trains from L.A. Union Station will depart at various times and are scheduled to arrive at Angel Stadium before the start of the game at 5 p.m.

OCTA also is offering a 50 percent discount on Friends and Family 4-Pack Metrolink tickets from July 9 to 13. Normally $29, four round-trip tickets are $14.50 and can be purchased from any Metrolink vending machine.

“Taking public transportation to special events like the All-Star game is a great way to avoid the hassles of traffic and parking,” said OCTA Chairman Jerry Amante, also the mayor of Tustin. “We encourage baseball fans to take advantage of this special Metrolink service and enjoy a convenient and affordable round-trip train ride to the ballgame.”
