Amtrak Pacific Surfliner Adds Extra Trains for X Games Ventura 2024
To meet the anticipated surge in travelers for the X Games Ventura 2024 event, the Amtrak Pacific Surfliner will provide two extra trains per day from June 28th to June 30th, 2024. This marks the second annual collaboration between the Pacific Surfliner and the X Games, Ventura County Coast, and the Ventura Visitors and Convention Bureau (Visit Ventura). The Pacific Surfliner offers an ideal travel option for X Games attendees, with 29 stations from San Diego to San Luis Obispo and a stop conveniently located near the Ventura Fairgrounds. Passengers can enjoy a 15% discount on both train tickets and event admission, and the Market Cafe will feature two special edition Ventura beers brewed in honor of the X Games. Due to increased ridership, reservations are required from June 28th to 30th, and limited space is available, so customers are advised to plan ahead and book early.
