What a common fan Googles after they land. Each answer below comes from the primary sources above.
SEPTA accepts contactless tap-to-pay (credit/debit card or mobile wallet), the SEPTA Key reloadable card, a Quick Trip paper ticket, or cash on most surface routes. The Airport Line accepts all four. There is no separate airport-only ticket.
SEPTA acepta pago sin contacto (tarjeta o billetera móvil), la tarjeta SEPTA Key recargable, un boleto Quick Trip de papel, o efectivo en la mayoría de las rutas. La línea del aeropuerto acepta las cuatro opciones. No necesitas un boleto especial para el aeropuerto.
Take the Airport Line from any PHL terminal station to AT&T Station or Walnut-Locust, then transfer to the Broad Street Line southbound to NRG Station — the stadium complex is a short walk. SEPTA is adding extra Broad Street Line service on match days, with capacity around 15,000 passengers per hour.

From Center City, take SEPTA Bus 32 (every 15 minutes or less, weekdays 6am–9pm, starting June 14) or SEPTA Bus 48 — which provides a direct evening drop-off and pick-up at Pennsylvania Avenue & Fairmount Avenue, the closest stop to the festival. The Philly PHLASH visitor bus also serves the route; the City is subsidizing PHLASH for the festival ($450,000 budget).

On match days, both the Broad Street Line and the Market-Frankford Line operate overnight, with trains every 30 minutes to select stations. This is specific to the tournament window — not regular SEPTA service.
