Additional Taylor Swift Commuter Rail tickets selling fast
FOXBORO – Additional Commuter Rail tickets for concert services to Gillette Stadium went on sale Friday for people attending this month's Taylor Swift shows, but they didn't last long.
Train tickets for the concerts on May 20 and 21 went on sale at 11 a.m. through the mTicket app.
Tickets on the Boston line sold out in less than 90 seconds, the Commuter Rail said. A limited number of tickets on the Providence line are still available.
In total, 3,230 tickets were made available on Friday. In two minutes, more than 2,000 sold. The app "operated successfully," Commuter Rail officials said, and all purchases were processed until Boston tickets sold out.
No tickets have been added for the May 19 concert.
The Commuter Rail said there was a high volume of users in the mTicket app, which peaked at 20,000 requests per minute to purchase tickets.
Last week, the first round of train tickets sold out within a matter of hours. Fans, wanting to avoid the traffic and driving to the show, begged the MBTA to add more trains.
Round-trip tickets cost riders $20.
The MBTA originally announced its summer concert Commuter Rail services in March, with trains going to Gillette Stadium from Boston and Providence.
