Fans planning to attend FIFA World Cup games at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, from June 11 to July 19 may have to pay as much as $150 for a round-trip ticket on NJ Transit from New York City's Penn Station. This fare is a significant jump from the usual $12.90 return fare, which was the price used during last year's FIFA Club World Cup. NJ Transit has indicated that a single price will apply to all passengers, regardless of age or disability, due to the high demand for tickets. Additionally, only ticketholders will be allowed on the Meadowlands Rail service, and access to the NJ Transit portion of Penn Station will be restricted to match attendees for four hours before kickoff. This pricing strategy follows similar fare increases by other transit authorities, such as the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA), which raised its return ticket fare to $80 for World Cup events. The World Cup will feature eight matches at MetLife Stadium, including the final match on July 19.
