Two months before the World Cup, controversies are multiplying around the price of places and tickets. Following controversy over excessive fares in New York, the Philadelphia organizing committee announced that public transportation will be free after games at Lincoln Financial Field, thanks to a financial partnership with Airbnb. An initiative which contrasts sharply with the prices indicated to reach MetLife Stadium, which have been singled out in recent days.

Six matches are involved in this city, including the French team’s match against Iraq (June 22 at 11 p.m.). The free shuttles will be available from half-time and until two hours after the end of the match to allow spectators to return free of charge. “ Every fan will be able to return home safely and for free “, explained Josh Shapiro, governor of Pennsylvania.
