Word to the Wise: Pre-pay Your VTA Fare Before Traveling to Levi's Stadium

With light rail and express buses ready to serve you, VTA will provide event goers with an easy, convenient and affordable way to this state-of-the-art entertainment venue.

Your best fare option is to use a pre-paid Clipper Card. That way, you'll avoid long lines on the day of the event. You can also use the EventTIK mobile app, the VTA Ticket Vending Machine (TVM) found on light rail platforms, or the Caltrain event pass.

For more information, visit us at

Please note that due to large crowds on event days, the Ticket Vending Machines will not be functioning at Mountain View and Great America stations. Avoid the hassles of last minute fare purchase by purchasing your fare in advance!
