MTS Adding Extra Trolley Service for Sold-Out Beyonce Concert at Qualcomm Stadium

San Diego – Beyonce is heading to Qualcomm Stadium on Thursday night for her Formation World Tour and MTS is offering mobile ticketing and scheduling extra Green Line trains to accommodate the large crowds. The concert begins at 7 p.m.

Multiple mTickets 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/fares-passes/mobile-ticketing.
