Summary
World Cup fans in the U.S. are hitting the brakes over sky-high transit prices—train tickets to games now cost $80-$98, way up from NFL game fares—while officials blame security and logistics costs, sparking debate over whether FIFA should foot the bill since they’re making billions. Fans like Rory from Scotland are already feeling the pinch, especially when cheaper alternatives exist, and with stadiums far from cities and parking restricted, public transit is the only option—making the cost hike feel like another layer of frustration for soccer lovers trying to make the dream happen.
