| 1. Author: wee eck Date: Tue 7th Apr 2026. 16:15 I heard a report on the radio that a round-trip train ticket between Boston and Foxborough, where the Gillette Stadium is, will be 80 dollars during the WC compared with the normal fare of 20 dollars! There seemed to be no reason for the increase other than blatant profiteering. Car parking fees seemed to be equally exorbitant. Reply |
| 2. Author: Connor560 Date: Tue 7th Apr 2026. 16:54 May have been the Gillette Stadium that I read about that match day parking was $200! C'mon Ye Pars! Reply |
| 3. Author: Johan_Cruyff Date: Tue 7th Apr 2026. 17:11 Ive seen the same reports over this side of the pond wee_eck I live in Atlanta and the MARTA system here is getting an upgrade for WC and likely charging $25 when the price is usually $5 - Its a total disgrace  Reply |
| 4. Author: pacifist Date: Tue 7th Apr 2026. 18:09 Everything doubles or triples in cities where the games are. The same happened in Germany. What you do is stay outwith the main city. We will be in Salem. And others are elsewhere. Reply |
| 5. Author: SusieQ Date: Tue 7th Apr 2026. 18:12 There was at least free matchday transport in Germany. Never felt ripped off at any point during the Euros. This time it`s fleece, fleece, fleece fans at every turn, then times it by 10 😡 COME ON YE PARS! Reply |
| 6. Author: Sacktheref69 Date: Tue 7th Apr 2026. 18:21 Staying in Medford and getting a pre-booked Uber into Boston city centre for about $20 per person return. This is Andy Tod`s world and we are lucky to live in it. Reply |
| 7. Author: wee eck Date: Tue 7th Apr 2026. 18:26 Foxborough is 22 miles from Boston though! Reply |
| 8. Author: Kdy Par Date: Tue 7th Apr 2026. 19:01 Sacktheref69, Tue 7 Apr 18:21 Make sure you leave in plenty time. Apparently can take Upto 4 hours in game day. Reply |
| 9. Author: Jimmy riddell Date: Tue 7th Apr 2026. 19:35 Staying near Providence RI. It’s actually closer to Foxboro. Reply |
| 10. Author: Dave_1885 Date: Tue 7th Apr 2026. 19:42 pacifist, Tue 7 Apr 18:09 Paid £30 for unlimited travel on regional trains/trams for the whole week in Germany, and the ICE trains were booked in advance at fairly decent prices, and if your booked one didnt show/broke down/delayed, you got free travel by any means to get to your destination. Their trains may have had issues during the Euros, but compared to what this is looking like its night and day. The travel by train to stadium in Foxborough is reportedly limited to 20k as well, whilst the car parks hold about half that - 30k fans travelling 25 miles out on buses will be fun. Gutted to not be there, but also slightly glad to be avoiding this mess. Reply |
| 11. Author: Fargo Date: Tue 7th Apr 2026. 20:11 For the Haiti game we booked the Boston Common Coach… I’d read that the train station at Gillette could turn into a scrum after games. Reply |
| 12. Author: pars no1 Date: Tue 7th Apr 2026. 20:17 we have hired a private bus and driver for the day. picking us up in providence going to boston for the day then sorting a tailgate party at the stadium. them taking us back to providence. nae cheap $160 each but cheaper than public transport for the day Reply |
| 13. Author: parsmad68 Date: Tue 7th Apr 2026. 20:38 There is a group of school buses hired from Providence. 17 at last count and much cheaper option. Not sure if you have seen this? Reply |
| 14. Author: pars no1 Date: Tue 7th Apr 2026. 20:52 yeah seen that. But we have organised a boat party in Boston pre match Reply |
| 15. Author: Parsfangaz Date: Wed 8th Apr 2026. 00:12 wee eck, Tue 7 Apr 16:15 Did you expect it to be any different, if so more fool you. Reply |
| 16. Author: wee eck Date: Wed 8th Apr 2026. 00:39 I`m not going so I didn`t really have any expectations. I was simply passing on some info which I thought might be of interest. Reply |
| 17. Author: kozmasrightfoot Date: Wed 8th Apr 2026. 16:29 Good luck staying in Salem, I take it you`re not a Stephen King fan. I`d avoid Portland and Castle Rock too. You should be safe in Derry though, the big freaky dude is in hibernation. I wouldn`t risk it however as he might sense the added activity and wake up for a snack or two🤡 . Pars fan. Magpies fan. Mens tennis fan. Alternative rock fan. Not a fan of much else. Reply |

| 19. Author: Sacktheref69 Date: Wed 8th Apr 2026. 21:00 Booking an Uber from Boston city centre to the stadium and back to Medford for $20 each was a brilliant call. I`ve seen some people are being charged $80 for train tickets from Boston Centre and back. This is Andy Tod`s world and we are lucky to live in it. Reply |
| 20. Author: Paralex Date: Wed 8th Apr 2026. 22:19 I remember being at an England v Scotland game at Wembley where Scotland fans were being charged double for a hot dog. A group of Scotland fans didn`t take kindly to the extortion so I witnessed the hot dog stall being turned upside down. I`m not endorsing the sentiment but I can understand the sense of outrage.
