The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) intend to almost quadruple their usual prices for a round-trip train ticket from the center of Boston to Gillette Stadium during the 2026 World Cup. 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. The MBTA is planning to announce its fare programs by April 8. In a statement to The Athletic on Thursday night, the Football Supporters Association (FSA) — the representative body for fans in England and Wales — called on Boston to “revisit” the planned pricing and give fans “a fair deal.”Additional reporting: Matt Slater
