AI Summary
Fans are angry about high ticket prices for trains to World Cup games. New Jersey Transit might charge over $100 for a round trip to MetLife Stadium, which normally costs about $13. In Boston, tickets to Gillette Stadium could be $80, much higher than the usual $20. Fan groups say this is unfair and that FIFA should consider the fans, not just wealthy people. Some politicians are also speaking out. A U.S. senator wants FIFA to pay for the extra transit costs since the organization is making a lot of money from the games. The governor of New York also thinks the high prices are too much. Officials say decisions on ticket prices have not been made yet.
