SALT LAKE CITY — Have tickets to a Salt Lake City event this summer? There's a chance the Utah Transit Authority will give you a ride there for free.

UTA is allowing certain approved event tickets to double as fare on any UTA bus, TRAX, FrontRunner, S-Line or UTA On Demand transit.

Riders must show their printed or electronic ticket as proof of fare, and the date on the ticket must match the date the ticket holder is riding UTA, the transit authority says.

Here's a list of events offering ticket-as-fare options:

  • Utah Pride Festival, June 1-2.
  • Luke Combs concert, June 7-8.
  • Utah Asian Festival, June 8.
  • George Strait concert, June 29.
  • The Utah Arts Festival, June 28-30.
  • Western Stampede and carnival, July 4-6.
  • Salt Lake City Twilight concert series; check online for shows and dates.
  • Ogden Twilight concert series; check online for shows and dates.
  • University of Utah sporting events, including those at Rice-Eccles Stadium, Jon M. Huntsman Center and other campus locations.
