$150 for a Train Ticket? FIFA, NJ, and NY—Don’t Rip Us Off


$150 for a Train Ticket? FIFA, NJ, and NY—Don’t Rip Us Off
The Issue
Fans heading to World Cup games at MetLife Stadium are being charged up to $150 for round-trip train tickets -- from under $15 on average day.
At the same time, FIFA is expected to generate over $11 billion in revenue from the tournament.
This isn’t just expensive—it’s exclusionary.
Families, local fans, and everyday people are being priced out of attending one of the biggest sporting events in the world.
Even lawmakers from New York and New Jersey are now calling on FIFA to help cover transit costs.
If FIFA can make billions, it can help make the event accessible.
We call on:
FIFA
NJ Transit
New York and New Jersey officials
to lower ticket prices and ensure affordable transportation for all fans.
Sign to say: no $150 train tickets—make the World Cup accessible.
