Round-trip tickets for train service to the Army-Navy game at Gillette Stadium in December go on sale to the public on Monday morning.

The MBTA commuter rail and Keolis will be providing service from Boston for the Dec. 9 game.

Special event train tickets are $10 each way and will be available for purchase exclusively via the mTicket app beginning at 11 a.m.

Tickets for each special event train will be sold separately and need to be purchased for the correct corresponding outbound and inbound trains and station of origin (Boston or Providence).

Due to anticipated high demand, no refunds or exchanges will be available. Tickets must be purchased prior to boarding the event train. All passengers, including children 11 and under, must have a ticket to board the train.
