Attended the game today at MetLife. Stadium was packed, literally no seats open anywhere. Some tips for anyone who will attend games at this stadium:

1. I was able to snag tickets for the shuttle from grand central. This was the cheapest option ($20 round trip). It was fast and efficient except on the way back had to wait an hour for the shuttle because it was rush hour but was back in grand central within 30 mins.

2. You can buy jerseys at the fifa store at the stadium. There is long long lines but moves quick. But jerseys are marked up ($130 instead of $100) because they have the World Cup badge on the side.

3. Get there early! So you have time to get food, drinks, take pics and walk up to your seats. You don’t want to miss kickoff.

PSA: tickets are outrageously priced, yet stadiums are full to the max. I don’t understand how people were able to afford these tickets if everyone on Reddit keeps saying to hold. Personally, I got lucky and my friend offered me an extra ticket that he had so I was grateful for that and bought him a Senegal jersey as a thank you!
