HOT NEWS: New England Patriots Chairman Just Made an Announcement That Has All Patriots Fans Thrilled – He Declared Ticket Prices Will Be Slashed to the Lowest Levels Ever, So Low That Even Homeless People Can Afford to Buy a Seat at the Stadium.
Foxborough, Massachusetts – January 22, 2026 – As the New England Patriots gear up for their road AFC Championship clash against the Denver Broncos this Sunday, team chairman and owner Robert Kraft dropped a bombshell announcement today that sent shockwaves of excitement through the Patriots fanbase: the team will implement massive, unprecedented ticket price reductions for future home games, dropping prices to historic lows — low enough that even people experiencing homelessness or those with very limited income can realistically afford to attend games live at Gillette Stadium.
The statement came during a brief press conference at the stadium earlier today, just days before the Patriots face the Broncos on Sunday, January 25 at 3:00 PM ET. Kraft, long known for his philanthropy and deep community commitment, emphasized that this move is about “giving back” to the fans who have stood by the team through thick and thin — especially after the franchise’s strong resurgence in the 2025-2026 season, highlighted by their Divisional Round win over the Houston Texans to secure their spot in the AFC title game.
“We understand that football belongs to everyone — not just those who can afford premium prices,” Kraft said. “Gillette Stadium has always been the shared home of New England, and we want to open those doors wider than ever before. Starting next season, we will introduce record-low ticket prices for select games — beginning with preseason matchups and expanding from there — so that even individuals facing economic hardship, including members of the homeless community in the Boston and Foxborough areas, can purchase a ticket and experience the joy of live NFL football.”
According to team sources, base-level tickets (general admission or upper-bowl seats) will be reduced to as little as $5–$10 for designated “Fan Appreciation Days” and other targeted games — a dramatic drop from the current resale market averages that often reach hundreds of dollars. The initiative will be supported through partnerships with charitable organizations, the Patriots Foundation, and select sponsorship revenue, ensuring it complies with updated NFL revenue-sharing rules that now allow greater flexibility for deep discounts without penalties.
The timing is especially poignant as playoff tickets remain extremely expensive — resale prices for the AFC Championship at Mile High Stadium in Denver are currently ranging from $500 to over $1,000 due to high demand, despite the Broncos dealing with the absence of starting QB Bo Nix due to injury. Kraft stressed, however, that the primary focus of the price cuts will be on future home games to build long-term fan accessibility and create a more inclusive community around the team.
While some skeptics suggested this could be a savvy PR move ahead of a potential Super Bowl LX run (if the Patriots defeat Denver and advance), the overwhelming reaction from fans has been one of genuine appreciation and pride. The Patriots Foundation has already begun collaborating with local Massachusetts organizations that support the homeless population to distribute free or heavily discounted tickets to qualifying individuals.
Patriots fans erupted online almost instantly. On X (formerly Twitter), hashtags like #KraftForThePeople and #PatriotsForAll quickly trended across New England. One fan posted: “Robert Kraft just turned Gillette into the people’s stadium! $5 tickets? I’m crying right now. Go Pats!” Another wrote: “Homeless folks getting to chant ‘Let’s go Patriots’ in person? This is the real New England spirit!”
