While yesterday was mostly about the joy and despair of teams either continuing their World Cup dream or crashing out, there was more World Cup news that caught our attention.

And, unfortunately, it was more news relating to rising costs for supporters hoping to attend matches this summer.

Here is the latest from Adam Crafton, who was in Boston for France’s 2-1 victory against Brazil at Gillette Stadium.

📝 The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) intends to almost quadruple its usual prices for a round-trip train ticket from the center of Boston to Gillette Stadium during the 2026 World Cup.

According to the MBTA website, the authority usually charges people $20 for a return ticket from train stations in the center of Boston for special events such as New England Patriots games in the NFL, New England Revolution in MLS, or concerts.

However, soccer fans who attended the exhibition match between France and Brazil at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro on Thursday saw the price increased by 50 per cent, up to $30 per-person, without any options of concessions.

Yet even the prices charged on Thursday are set to more than double during the World Cup this summer, while they will be almost four times the usual prices asked of NFL and MLS fans.

According to sources familiar with the planning, individuals will be charged around or even more than $75 per-person for a return ticket to make the 27-mile journey from Boston South Station to the stadium.
