Jets fans in disbelief over timing of season-ticket price increase
As Marlo Stanfield once said in “The Wire,” the price of the brick’s going up.
Jets season-ticket holders were notified of price hikes on Wednesday, and several of them expressed displeasure with the organization that the timing of this coincided with Aaron Rodgers and Co. having started this year in a disappointing 2-5 hole.
Season-ticket holder Drew Nantz wrote on X, “#Jets season ticket invoice came out today. 6% increase. On top of 30% last year. First payment due 11/15/24. The team is 2-5. Tough times @nyjets.”
Nantz added a facepalm emoji, but when a number of people responded to him that he should cancel the plan he rationalized biting the bullet to renew.
“For everyone telling me to give up my season tickets…that means giving this up when I only got 4 more years before he goes to college,” Nantz wrote, sharing four photos of himself with his son at Jets games.
“Other season ticketholders were also dismayed with the price increases,” X user NYJ Matt wrote matter-of-factly.
“Jets Season Ticket prices increased 23.2% for the 2025 season They increased 24% last season and 13% the previous year.”
A third Jets fan, X user Kashmanx24, wrote, “Jets upped season ticket prices again @woodyjohnson4 are you f–king crazy?”
A Jets spokesperson emphasized to The Post that the price hikes come amid high demand for the team’s tickets.
The spokesperson said that secondary market prices have tracked at 24 percent higher than face value, that there is a wait list for lower level sideline season tickets for the first time since the Jets moved into MetLife Stadium in 2010 and that lower level club seats are “nearly” sold out.
The spokesperson also clarified that the price hikes are variable depending on the location of the seats, with a third of the stadium seeing increases of lower than 6.5 percent and a total average price raise of 9 percent.
The spokesperson further said that the invoice schedule is in line with the rest of the league, and that six-month payment plans are offered.
A new benefit for season-ticket holders is that they have the option to sell back up to three games and receive ticket credits for the next season.
Other benefits include presale access to concerts and other events at MetLife Stadium, plus exclusive events with Jets players and legends.
The Jets have to start stacking wins together fast now if they hope to contend for the playoffs, and that quest continues on Sunday with a game against the Patriots.
