“NJ Transit plans to raise prices to a staggering $100 for fans traveling from New York Penn Station to MetLife Stadium”

I’m confused. Isn’t it the NJ government agency doing the gouging? Does Bruce Springsteen pay for the rides his fans take to the show? Progressive women live in bizarro world.

Since fans are paying up to as much as $3K for concert tickets, he figures they can afford to pay a mere $100 for a train ride.

They're technically an independent agency, not a government agency. I don't buy it, but the Supreme Court ruled (9-0) in March that they are not (and, as the case suggests, are not subject to sovereign immunity). See Galette v. New Jersey Transit Corporation.

When Taylor Swift played two shows at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, MA the train tickets from Boston to the stadium sold out for the show dates. As did all the parking passes.
So, not only were the actual concert tickets being scalped, so were the train and parking.

I heard that the one of the European(I think France) bought out the Ritz Carlton Hotel for their soccer team. The ENTIRE hotel for the World Cup. Which is in downtown Boston right by Boston Common. Foxboro(Gillette Stadium) is an hour drive away to the SW.
