Save on Admission at Motor Trends’ 50th Anniversary Auto Show

The Orange County International Auto Show is back in Anaheim again this year from Oct. 2-5 with all the features that make it so popular--hot new cars and trucks, exotics, tricked-out rides, classics, and the chance to test more than 100 new cars.

Sponsored by Motor Trend, the event is also geared for kids with ride-on mini-cars, a scavenger hunt and a climbing wall. This family-friendly event has been delighting car fans with the latest and greatest for 50 years.

Substantial discounts are available. On Thursday, Oct. 2 and Friday, Oct. 3, you can get in free ($12 value) by showing a Metrolink ticket, an OCTA bus pass or a 91 Express Lanes transponder. On Saturday, Oct. 4 and Sunday, Oct. 5, you’ll save $3 off the admission price.

Those traveling together in one car on the 91 Express Lanes can show a single transponder to get free or discounted tickets for all.

Metrolink is an affordable and efficient way to get to the auto show. Just take the train to the Anaheim Metrolink Station. From there, just show your valid Metrolink ticket for a free ride to the convention center on ART Shuttle Route 15 or OCTA Bus Route 50. 

Metrolink's $10 Weekend Day Pass is valid system wide all day Saturday or Sunday.
