New York City will offer its residents $50 tickets to World Cup games in New Jersey this summer.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced 1,000 affordable tickets through a lottery system, including free round-trip bus transportation to the stadium.

Tickets will be split across five group-stage and two knockout games, with 150 tickets per match.

Starting May 25, residents can enter the lottery. Tickets are non-transferable and distributed at the bus boarding location to prevent scalping.

Ticket affordability is a key issue. The average get-in cost for a group-stage match in NYC is $864, while the best seats for the final reach nearly $33,000.
