You read that right two dollars. Thatâs all it costs to get into tonightâs Memphis Grizzlies home game. What was once one of the leagueâs hottest tickets has now become cheaper than a coffee at Starbucks.
Fans across social media canât believe the price drop, calling it âunreal,â âdepressing,â and âthe biggest steal since Ja Morantâs rookie deal.â
đž The $2 Game Everyoneâs Talking About
According to SeatGeek and VividSeats, the get-in price meaning the cheapest available ticket for tonightâs Grizzlies home game has plummeted to just $2 before fees. Thatâs less than a parking fee, a hot dog, or even a bottle of water at the stadium.
The Grizzlies, who are currently struggling without Ja Morant and key starters, are having one of the lowest attendance stretches in franchise history.

đ From Playoff Contenders to Empty Seats
Just two years ago, the Grizzlies were one of the most electric teams in the NBA. With Ja Morant flying through the air, Desmond Bane draining threes, and Dillon Brooks stirring up drama, Memphis was the must-watch young squad of the West.
Now? The energy feels completely different. The teamâs star power is dimmed, the locker room chemistry is off, and attendance numbers are slipping fast.
đŹ Fans React: âIâll Go Just to Say I Was There for $2â
The news sent NBA Twitter into a frenzy. One fan posted:
âI just bought 4 tickets for $8. Might take my entire fantasy team.â
Another joked:
âGrizzlies selling tickets like itâs a clearance sale at Walmart.â
Some Memphis locals even said theyâre showing up just for the vibes and maybe to see if the halftime hot dogs are still full price.
đ Why Ticket Prices Dropped So Low
Several factors are at play here. First, Ja Morantâs continued absence due to disciplinary and team issues has kept fans hesitant to buy in. The Grizzliesâ record this season currently hovering near the bottom of the Western Conference doesnât help either.
Combine that with weekday scheduling, market size, and declining local engagement, and youâve got the perfect storm for record-low ticket prices.

đ âWhereâs the Energy?â Players Notice Too
Multiple league insiders report that Grizzlies players have privately expressed frustration at the empty stands. During their last home game, several lower-bowl sections were visibly vacant a stark contrast from the electric crowds of the 2022â23 playoff runs.
âItâs tough when youâre used to hearing the crowd go crazy and now you hear sneakers squeak louder than cheers,â one team source said anonymously.

đ€ The Bigger Question: Can Memphis Recover Its Hype?
The Grizzliesâ identity has always been built on grit, confidence, and energy famously known as âGrit & Grind.â But that identity feels lost amid locker room tension, inconsistent performances, and Jaâs off-court distractions.
Even with young talents like Bane and Jaren Jackson Jr., the team hasnât found its groove. Many fans say they need a major reset or a PR miracle to bring excitement back to Memphis.
đŹ Social Media Doesnât Miss
The memes came instantly.
â2 dollars? Thatâs 50 cents a quarter.â
âI can finally afford courtside in 2025.â
âBro, it costs more to breathe inside the stadium than to get in.â
Some even photoshopped the Grizzliesâ ticket site to say âBuy One, Get a Ja Morant Comeback Free.â

đ Ticket Market Breakdown
Analysts say the Grizzliesâ situation is rare but not unprecedented. Teams like the Pistons, Hornets, and Wizards have seen ticket prices fall below $10 during rough seasons, but $2 remains the lowest in recent memory.
Secondary market sales show most purchases are local fans not tourists or traveling fans which suggests the Memphis community is still somewhat engaged, just not at premium prices.
đ„ Could This Be a Turning Point?
Oddly enough, this viral ticket situation might help the Grizzlies. Cheap tickets mean bigger crowds, more noise, and possibly a morale boost. Imagine 15,000 fans who all paid less than a fast-food meal screaming their lungs out just for the experience.
Some fans on Reddit even organized a â$2 Takeover Night,â planning to fill the upper deck with chants, posters, and free energy Memphis desperately needs.
đ Final Whistle: A Two-Dollar Dream
In a league where courtside seats can run $5,000 and popcorn costs $8, a $2 NBA ticket feels almost surreal. But it also tells a bigger story about loyalty, market demand, and what happens when a city loses connection with its teamâs spark.
If the Grizzlies can find a way to turn this low point into a comeback story, maybe one day, those same $2 fans will proudly say:
âWe were there when nobody else wanted to be.â
