Pre-Game Party to Bring Baseball Fans and Angels Express Together

The popular Angels Express is back for a fourth year, and it’s time for baseball fans to board Metrolink for another season of affordable, stress-free rides to Angel Stadium in Anaheim. Service will begin this week.

OCTA will help raise awareness of the special service with Angels Express Fan Friday, a pre-game party at the Irvine Metrolink Station on April 11 starting at 5 p.m. The event will feature free Metrolink tickets for the first 100 fans, food, activities, prizes and more. 

At the event, fans will have a chance to win authentic team merchandise and a valuable VIP Grand Prize including four game tickets, four Metrolink tickets, and an opportunity to watch batting practice. 

Even before they get to the pre-game party on April 11, OCTA wants fans to start thinking about the Angels Express. By joining OCTA’s Facebook community, they can download an exclusive coupon redeemable at Angels Express Fan Friday for a limited-edition pint glass celebrating one of baseball’s most popular players.

The free, hour-long event will offer fans a fun and festive opportunity to learn about the Angels Express while enjoying great food and entertainment on their way to the game. To encourage families to drop by, there will be activities for all ages like ball toss games, sing-alongs, and a baseball-themed photo booth. Fans can come for the free tickets, stay for the party, then travel to the game on the Angels Express.
