To accommodate fans' enthusiasm and ensure transportation convenience, Taiwan High Speed Rail plans to add 11 extra train services between December 23, 2017, and January 7, 2018, allowing fans to easily attend these musical events without worrying about transportation issues.

Due to the large crowds at the concert, passengers are advised to purchase tickets and reserve seats in advance, as well as pick up their tickets early. Passengers with non-reserved seats may also purchase return tickets in advance before departure, or use an EasyCard co-branded card or an iPASS co-branded card (both with auto top-up enabled) to simply tap in and board directly, saving precious time and avoiding the station crowds.
