And fans weren’t too pleased with the announcement. “The Jets are raising ticket prices for the 2026 season and some fans are outraged — seemingly more related to the 1-7 record on the field than the pricing,” Cannizzaro wrote. “A Jets spokesperson told The Post on Tuesday that part of the fan anger is driven by a lack of recognition that the increase in 2026 season ticket prices is partially due to the addition of a ninth home game, one more than this season.” Jets fans on social media continued the outrage. “That was one costly win,” wrote a fan, noticing the hike was announced after the Jets’ first win. “We’ve been season ticket holders since 1986, but not anymore! this is insane #selltheteam,” wrote another. “They waited until they won ONE game,” posted another.

Don’t buy the season tickets. Don’t give Woody money up front for bad product. I know those tickets were basically a birthright and seat licenses were paid but how much is too much at this point. Woody can do this because he knows people will keep renewing no matter what,” argued a poster. “Sure we paid for tix, We are stuck with the PSL extortion money! We need to send a message to Woody Next home game – Cleveland – no one go in – empty stadium!! Yes we paid, woody still gets our money and TV money but a message NEEDS to be sent EMPTY STADIUM!! Woody must go!” wrote another. The Jets appear on their way to having another losing season. New York has not had a winning season since they went 10-6 in 2015. The Jets will next host the Cleveland Browns on Nov. 9. For more on the Vikings and the NFL, head to Newsweek Sports.
