World Cup Fans Face Transit Price Shock

World Cup fans in the U.S. are bracing for transit sticker shock as train tickets to games in New Jersey and Massachusetts soar to $98 and $80 round trip—way up from the usual under $20. Unlike past tournaments where transit was free or heavily subsidized, American fans now face steep costs for getting to stadiums, sparking frustration and blame toward FIFA, who say they weren’t asked to cover expenses. Some fans, even from abroad, are organizing cheaper alternatives, while officials defend the pricing as necessary for security and services. It’s a stark contrast to the “summer fairy tales” of past World Cups—and fans are wondering how they’ll make it to the games without going broke.
