Los Angeles, a city that practically breathes championships, is staring down an absolutely brutal reality right now: the Chargers and Clippers, two of its major pro teams, are rocking a combined record of 1-13.
LA’s Other Teams Are in Absolute Freefall
Forget playoff hopes or division races, because that combined 1-13 record isn’t a typo. We’re talking about a level of struggle that’s making LA’s usual championship expectations feel like a cruel joke for half the city. The Lakers kicked off their season with a strong start, and the Rams, even with some recent struggles, still went into the NFL season tagged as Super Bowl favorites, with everyone expecting a turnaround once their stars get healthy. But for the Chargers and Clippers? Man, it’s a whole different story.
The Clippers, sitting on a brutal six-game losing streak, are dealing with the absolute fallout from the Kawhi Leonard era AND a bunch of injuries this year. Seven straight losses for the Chargers? Yep, you heard that right. They haven’t secured a single victory this season. A winless NFL team in November? That’s not just bad, that’s historically rough.
Tickets So Cheap, You Won’t Believe It
Now, if you’re looking for a silver lining, or maybe just some morbid curiosity, this absolute collapse has made game-day experiences surprisingly affordable in LA. Tickets for these teams are going for practically nothing online.
Want to see the Clippers at the Intuit Dome? Just over 24 hours before their October 4th game against the Miami Heat, tickets were listed as low as a measly $19 on StubHub. Yeah, you’d be up in the nosebleeds, but still, $19! If you’re planning a bit further out, their November 8th game against the New Orleans Pelicans had tickets for as low as $21. That’s cheaper than most casual lunches, my friend!
And for the Chargers? Get this. You can catch an NFL game for pocket change. Their upcoming November 8th home game against C.J. Stroud and the Houston Texans has tickets listed for a stunning $15 in the upper deck. TickPick even reported around 14,300 tickets were still available for that game just yesterday morning! If that’s too soon, the November 22nd game against the New York Jets isn’t much more, with tickets as low as $22.
So, will either of these LA squads finally turn things around? The Chargers are still chasing that elusive first win against the Texans on November 8, and the Clippers host the Pelicans on the same night, desperate to break their six-game slide. It’s not just about winning anymore; it’s about whether anyone in Los Angeles is even willing to pay these bargain-basement prices to watch their teams struggle this hard. What a mess.
