New York's Penn Station closure, 27-mile train journeys and 450% price hikes: World Cup travel chaos and cost continues
"FIFA has already come under fire for the soaring cost of World Cup tickets, with some seats for the final costing more than 8,000 and England and Scotland fans facing paying vastly inflated prices through world football's governing body's official resale platform."
"England and Scotland fans travelling to World Cup group-stage matches in Boston have been told they will have to pay more than four-and-a-half times the price of a normal train ticket."
"Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) has announced round-trip tickets from central Boston to the Gillette Stadium will cost $80 during the tournament, up from the usual price of $17.50."
The 2026 World Cup will be the largest yet, featuring 48 teams and 104 matches across the USA, Canada, and Mexico. Fans are concerned about transport issues and soaring ticket prices, with some final match tickets exceeding $8,000. England and Scotland fans will experience inflated travel costs, particularly for train tickets to matches in Boston, which have increased from $17.50 to $80. The price hikes will significantly impact supporters, especially those traveling to see Scotland's group games.
