Those interested in attending World Cup matches in Miami may have to pay hundreds of dollars for parking spots on top of the price of their tickets. For anyone looking for an alternative, the Brightline might prove an appealing option.
All parking passes, some of which cost over $200, must be purchased ahead of time, as no on-site payments will be available, according to FIFA. Only one parking pass per customer is permitted for each of the seven matches that’ll be played at Hard Rock Stadium.
Only those who already have tickets for the matches are eligible to purchase parking passes, according to the organization, and the same email must be used for both. Parking lots at the Hard Rock will open four hours prior to the matches themselves.
$200 for Miami World Cup parking? How to get there on Brightline
For those not willing to shell out hundreds for parking spaces, the Brightline has tickets available on game days. To figure out what a trip from your location might cost to the game of your choice, you can visit the company’s website.
According to Brightline’s website, Miami-Dade County will be providing shuttle buses to and from the Brightline Aventura Station on match days.
Shuttle rides to matches will only be available to those with valid match tickets for that day, though a Brightline ticket won’t be required for access.
Where is the Brightline station in Aventura?
The Brightline Aventura Station is located at 19796 West Dixie Highway in Miami, and is about six miles away from the Hard Rock Stadium.
