00:00Soccer, the beautiful game, the game of the people, is apparently only for the uber-wealthy people now.
00:06At least, that's how this summer's World Cup is shaping up.
00:10FIFA, the notoriously corrupt international body that governs the competition,
00:15is absolutely gouging the people when it comes to ticket prices.
00:20You have to look them up. They're absurd.
00:22And now, New Jersey Transit, the nation's third largest mass transit system, is getting in on the action.
00:28The price of a train ticket from New York City to MetLife Stadium in New Jersey,
00:32the site of several World Cup games, including the final, $100.
00:35The normal price is $12.90.
00:40Yeah, the 775% increase was first reported by the New York Times.
00:45Okay, so you hear that number and you say, fine, screw that price, I'll just drive.
00:50No, no you won't. There is no general on-site parking.
00:54It's being shut down for the World Cup.
00:57New Jersey Transit told the Post that final pricing wasn't set yet,
01:01but pointed to New Jersey Governor Mikey Sherrill's promise
01:04that paying to transport people to World Cup games would not be,
01:08quote, on the backs of New Jersey taxpayers and New Jersey commuters.
