As if World Cup tickets weren't costly enough, getting to those games is slated to cost plenty more than usual.
NJ Transit tickets from MetLife Stadium to New York Penn Station after matches are reportedly set to cost more than $100, while prices in Boston are also set to surge.
Currently, prices from East Rutherford to Penn Station are just under $13.
The Athletic also reported that there will be no price differences for seniors, children or passengers with disabilities, and a final decision on the pricing is expected in the next few days.
Last week, the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority announced $80 tickets from Boston to Gillette Stadium, and the Boston Host Committee announced Tuesday that there will be $95 Yankee Line bus tickets to Foxborough.
Tailgating has been banned at both Gillette Stadium and MetLife Stadium, while parking will also not be allowed at the New Jersey stadium, despite thousands of available spots at the Meadowlands Sports Complex.
The price increase comes amid a potential $48 million tab for NJ Transit that includes security and extra services for the soccer spectacle.
MetLife Stadium is set to host eight matches, including the July 19 final.
Penn Station is also set to have severe restrictions on game days, when only game attendees will be permitted to enter the NJ Transit portion of the Manhattan station.

If public transportation prices are high, imagine what “sex worker” prices must be!?
This is idiotic and clearly gratuitous gouging by government. We fill up and then empty hundreds of football stadiums with similar sized crowds every weekend. Not to mention innumerable big events of various other types.
Would they do this for an NFL game? A Taylor Swift concert? A drag queen story hour? No.
Tar, feathers, torches and pitchforks.
FIFA should just move the games to Big Ten and SEC venues. Problem solved. The food would be better, the hospitality would be better, and not as many international visitors would be mugged.
Zzzzzz
World Cup tickets. That soccer, never could understand that, anything a five-year-old can do ain’t a sport. Marcus.
I find watching a colony of ants dealing with a grasshopper or cricket with the hoppers removed more exciting than soccer.
