Train tickets from New York City to MetLife Stadium, which will host eight World Cup games this summer, are projected to rise dramatically to over $100 during the tournament. Currently, a round-trip ticket from New York's Penn Station to the stadium costs $12.90. NJ Transit has not finalized the new pricing, but sources suggest a significant increase is imminent. New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill has expressed her commitment to ensuring that the costs associated with the World Cup do not fall on taxpayers. The estimated total cost for NJ Transit to operate during the tournament is $48 million. Additionally, access to parts of Penn Station will be limited to ticket-holders for four hours before each match, as parking availability at the stadium will be significantly reduced. This ticket price surge comes amid broader discussions about the high costs of attending the World Cup, including match tickets.
