When the San Antonio Spurs play the Detroit Pistons tonight at Little Caesars Arena, they aim to end a five-game losing streak. The Spurs are entering the game with the expectation of winning for their first victory in a very long time. Victor Wembanyama has served as one of the San Antonio Spurs’ few shining stars during this difficult season.

But the Pistons have reverted to their losing ways since the start of the new year. Each team is trying to win for the first time in 2024; one will succeed while the other will keep looking for solutions. As the next big thing in the NBA after megastar LeBron James, Wemby is a generational talent in his rookie season and has already sparked fans’ interest.

Even though both teams are currently the worst in the league. It makes perfect sense that so few people watch these kinds of games in Arena. On the other hand, even for a player such as Victor Wembanyama, the $20 game ticket price for Row 2 is quite low, according to Legion Hoops. In addition, courtside tickets only cost $413, which is quite cheap compared to regular Lakers, Warriors, or other team games.

The cost of the courtside tickets can range from a few thousand dollars to six figures, so they are not inexpensive. Given the games and the stars participating, the cost of these courtside seats differs from team to team. One of the main reasons these teams’ ticket prices are higher is the star power that fills these arenas. In a regular season game, courtside seats for such teams cost anywhere from $3000 to $5000.

Fans react to the cheap game tickets for the Victor Wembanyama Spurs vs. Pistons game

No matter how poorly they perform, there are some teams in the league whose ticket costs are consistently higher than those of other teams. However, in the case of the Detroit Pistons vs. San Antonio Spurs, the prices seemed utterly hilarious and controversial. The ticket price base of the organization is being ridiculed by fans on social media.

People are erupting on X (formally known as Twitter), uploading serial jokes and mocking both teams. Some are pointing out the $413 courtside ticket price, as still being too much to watch the Spurs play. One of the users called both the teams clowns. For more reactions, scroll below:

One more irritating warning of the previous year’s draft lottery will come to the Pistons due to the Spurs’ visit. In the draft order, Detroit fell to fifth place despite having the worst record in the league. San Antonio secured a far better future for itself when it won Victor Wembanyama as a bit of a prize. With nearly 20 points in every game, Wembanyama has a respectable record and will surely provide opportunities for both fans and photographers.
