The rain didn’t put a damper on the World Cup Monday as fans lined up outside Penn Station to catch a train to MetLife.

Many waited until the last few days to buy tickets, despite the host committee shuttles being sold out days ago.

“I got the ticket a couple of days ago,” said soccer fan Joe Skvarna. “I thought the prices would go down and they didn’t.”

“A couple of days ago,” said Dave Craig, who was visiting with his son from Scotland. “So, yeah, last minute.”

NJ Transit moving the line under the overhang of Two Penn Plaza and doing the security screenings and ticket checks inside to keep fans dry.

“It’s pretty organized,” said Tanya Redey, who went through security and got her bracelet to travel on the train. “So far, so good.”

And Norway fans even brought their rowing to the train, probably making it the more fun way to go. But it wasn’t fun for those driving in the city with the length of 42nd Street shutdown to all but buses, as well as a block or two of some other midtown streets.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani declared Monday a gridlock alert day. And it was a hassle for others trying to catch a train back to New Jersey — needing to find an alternate way.

“I think we can take the Path to Hoboken, but that still inconveniences us,” said commuter Lance Williams. “A lot I’d say, for most of us.”

“I had no clue. I was on my way to Wisconsin for a graduation. I was bumped [off] my flight. So I worked my way back home,” said Lance Pollard, trying to get back to Linden, New Jersey. “There’s Uber, there’s Lyft, there’s Path.”

The good news is this is the last time the evening rush and World Cup transportation will clash.

There are only two more games on weekdays, which start much earlier, at 4 p.m. and 5 p.m.
