ENGLAND fans face having to pay around quadruple a normal train fare during the World Cup.
The Three Lions are scheduled to face Ghana at Gillette Stadium on June 23.
Gillette Stadium is located in Foxborough, around 27 miles from Boston South train station.
It is routinely used for NFL and MLS games and is owned by veteran US billionaire Robert Kraft.
A return ticket on game days typically costs $20 (£15).
But according to The Athletic, the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) are planning to charge $75 (£56) or even more during the World Cup.
Foxboro station has undergone $35 million (£26m) in upgrades in order to be ready for this summer’s tournament.
And it appears that fans, including those of England, are set to foot some of that bill.
Seven games are set to take place at Gillette Stadium.
These also include Scotland‘s group games against Morocco and Haiti, as well as one round of 32 contest and a quarter-final.

Last night the stadium hosted a friendly between Brazil and France, with Didier Deschamps‘ men running out 2-1 winners.
Fans were charged $30 (£22.50) for return train tickets for the game.
The MTBA are set to announce its summer fares by April 8.
Local leaders and Gillette Stadium’s Kraft owners were recently involved in a bitter dispute over £6m worth of security costs for the tournament.
Kraft Sports & Entertainment (KSE) were initially unwilling to foot the bill, arguing that the stadium was being handed over to Fifa for 39 days during the World Cup.
But local leaders were also not willing to pay, not wanting to have to dip into taxpayer money.
Eventually KSE, led by 84-year-old Robert Kraft, worth $13.8bn (£10.4bn), relented and came to an agreement.
