The cost of a round‑trip New Jersey Transit ticket to and from World Cup matches at MetLife Stadium has been reduced from $150 to $105.

“Governor Sherrill committed that she would not impose any financial burden on New Jersey commuters and taxpayers for FIFA‑related transportation costs,” Kolluri said in a statement. “Understanding how important it is for New Jersey to showcase the state to the world, she asked NJ TRANSIT to find private sponsorships and other sources to reduce the cost of the ticket. I am pleased we are able to reduce the price by at least 30% and bring the cost down to $105 per ticket.”

Tickets are non-refundable and non-transferable, and go on sale to match ticketholders on May 13.
