Valley Metro, the Phoenix Convention Center, Arizona Super Bowl Host Committee, Downtown Phoenix Inc., and sponsors have partnered to provide sponsored ride fares to those attending the Super Bowl Experience at the Phoenix Convention Center and Hance Park.

How to get the deal:

Download the NFL OnePass app and QR code, located within the Rewards section of the app, which will serve as valid light rail fare for service to/from the events. The OnePass app must be downloaded with the QR code available to present to a fare inspector upon request. The QR code is valid for one adult or family traveling together to the following events:

  • Super Bowl Experience at the Phoenix Convention Center, Feb. 4 – 5 and 9 – 11
  • Super Bowl Experience at Hance Park, Feb. 9 – 12, including the first-ever Official Super Bowl Watch Party

You can also get free ride fare thanks to an existing program with Footprint Center, in which their event tickets serve as valid light rail fare, including the Super Bowl Opening Night on Feb. 6, and the Super Bowl Music Fest from Feb. 9–11.
