NJ to Hand Out 770 Free World Cup Passes, Undercutting NYC Lottery
New Jersey officials announced 770 free World Cup tickets for five group-stage and two knockout matches at MetLife Stadium, allocated to New Jersey communities, nurses and pediatric patients, families of NJ National Guard members deployed overseas, Hackensack Meridian Health patients in the Make-A-Wish program, and Bergen County first responders; a limited pool of $98 round-trip NJ Transit tickets will also be offered. The giveaways are part of the Welcome World Rewards program to boost accessibility amid price concerns and NYC’s separate $50 lottery, noting that free/low-cost tickets comprise a small share of MetLife’s World Cup allotment for eight matches (including the opener Brazil vs. Morocco).
