These routes look simple on paper.
In reality, timing — not distance — determines cost, fatigue, and access to the stadiums.
Poor sequencing leads to sold-out trains, inflated hotel rates, and late-night transport stress.
NOT TICKET PRICES — THE REAL COST OF FOLLOWING YOUR TEAM.
Estimates reflect a group-stage route across multiple U.S. cities (NY/NJ → Philadelphia → Boston). Costs vary by timing, planning decisions, and live conditions.

This World Cup isn’t one trip.
It’s a chain of decisions.
One mistake doesn’t ruin the trip.
The accumulation does.
Don’t Travel Blind.
The World Cup isn’t complicated because of football. It’s complicated because everything moves - cities, borders, prices, crowds.
It's not one country.
It's North America.
