Remember: This St. Patrick’s Day, wear green, don’t spend it. If you are going to the parade, buy your tickets in advance at a ticket office, from one of our ticket machine, or from WebTicket. (Tickets sold on trains are always more expensive!) Also, we ask that you please refrain from bringing alcohol on the trains on St. Patrick’s Day.
