Purchasing Tips
Durango Blues Train tickets sell out quickly, so it’s important to be prepared. Follow the steps below to make your purchase as smooth as possible.
Step 1: Create a Ticketing Profile
Before the on-sale date, set up a user profile with Front Gate Tickets. Click “Sign In” at the top menu and create an account using your email address or connect through Facebook.
Step 2: Be Ready at On-Sale Time
On the day tickets go on sale, log in to the Front Gate Tickets page before the on-sale time. To avoid declined transactions, consider pre-authorizing the charge with your credit card company. Once tickets go live, refresh the page to see available options.
Step 3: Move Quickly
After selecting tickets, you’ll have 10 minutes to complete checkout. Review ticket options in advance so you can add them to your cart right away.
If tickets show as “unavailable,” it means they’re currently in other carts.
Tickets are not sold out until marked “Sold Out.” Because of time-outs or declined cards, tickets may return to inventory. Keep refreshing for another chance.
Important: There is a strict limit of 10 tickets per household per day. Orders above this limit may be cancelled without notice.
Avoid Scams
Only purchase through the official Durango Blues Train ticketing page. Tickets bought from third-party resellers or scalpers may be counterfeit or invalid, and cannot be guaranteed.
