Jets Superfan Calls It Quits on Season Tickets
Ray Hoffman, a dedicated fan of the Jets, announced on Facebook this week that he will not be renewing his season tickets for 2026. He expressed frustration over the $2,600 seat price, pointing to the team’s poor performance as a key reason for his decision.
“Captain will never do this crap again,” he wrote, sharing a photo of himself saluting his fellow fans.
Just two days later, he reiterated his point, stating, “If you’re no longer a season ticket holder, you’ll be watching it on TV next year. Good luck with all that money for free!” His remarks came after the Jets suffered a 34-10 loss against the Dolphins at MetLife Stadium, leaving their record at a disappointing 3-10 following a harsh 0-7 start. Although the team had shown some glimmers of hope with three wins in five games, this latest defeat was a harsh blow.
In a subsequent post, Hoffman mentioned that his ticket prices had doubled, which he clearly found unacceptable. “The person in charge is trying to squeeze my throat,” he said. He noted that despite inclement weather, seats near him were being sold at significantly lower prices, questioning what was going wrong.
This latest loss not only eliminated the Jets from playoff contention for the 15th consecutive year but also continued their trend of losing for the 10th straight season after previously losing to the Ravens in Week 12.
Initially, there had been optimism with the hiring of new head coach Aaron Glenn, but it hasn’t yet translated into consistent success on the field.
The starting quarterback, Justin Fields, faced difficulties and was benched. Backup Tyrod Taylor, who was managing the offense reasonably well, exited a recent game due to a groin injury.
This situation led to undrafted rookie Brady Cook stepping in as quarterback, but he struggled, completing just 14 of 30 passes for 163 yards and two interceptions.
Cook is set to make his first career start this Sunday against the Jaguars in Jacksonville. “I have all the confidence in the world,” Glenn stated about Cook, indicating he believes the rookie has potential for future success.
