Those efforts look to have proved fruitless as FIFA continues to release batches of tickets with varying prices. Additionally, NJ Transit and FIFA have been locked in a feud centering around the transportation agency's plan to charge $150 for train tickets to access MetLife Stadium, where the World Cup final will take place.

Fans will have a more affordable option heading to the NWSL match in Harrison, New Jersey — though Gotham also is looking for a big crowd of New Yorkers when it plays a July 16 match at Citi Field in Queens against the Washington Spirit.

Mamdani and New York Gov. Kathy Hochul also announced Monday that fans will be able to attend free fan festivals in each of New York City's boroughs during the World Cup to celebrate the tournament, even if they were unable to secure tickets to matches.
