United States: New Jersey Transit announced on April 18 that it will charge a $150 round-trip fare for fans traveling from New York City to MetLife Stadium for FIFA World Cup 2026 matches in East Rutherford, New Jersey. The fee represents roughly a tenfold increase over the normal commuter fare and coincides with planned parking closures and enhanced security measures for the tournament. FIFA operations chief Heimo Schirgi warned on April 18 that the pricing could have a 'chilling effect', pushing fans to alternative transport and increasing congestion and late arrivals; MetLife will host eight matches including the July 19 final. NJ Transit CEO Kris Kolluri and Governor Mikie Sherrill defended the charge as necessary to cover event-related costs and security.
