Scotland & England fans in Boston face train fare hike
""There will be a lot of second mortgages and costs being put on credit cards. It's another huge disappointment. It's a kick to ordinary fans and another reminder that the further up the tree that you go, the game is getting further and further away from its origins and the people who will turn up on a wet Tuesday night in Forfar.""
""Fifa charging up to $10,990 to be at the final while England and Scotland fans already face paying vastly inflated prices through Fifa's official resale platform.""
Train tickets from central Boston to Boston Stadium for World Cup matches are priced at $80, significantly higher than the usual $17.50 round trip. Scotland and England fans face this price increase for matches in June. Paul Goodwin of the Scottish Football Supporters Association criticized the hike, stating it burdens ordinary fans and distances the game from its roots. The price surge follows previous criticism of high ticket prices for the tournament, with some final tickets costing up to $10,990. Limited non-refundable rail tickets will be available for purchase soon.
