Grammy Nominees Have To Pay To Get Into The Official Afterparty Now, The Recording Academy Says

The Recording Academy has let its members know, via email, of some changes, one of which will likely be unwelcome news to many: It will no longer provide complimentary tickets to its official Grammy afterparty to all current year nominees.

In an email sent to Academy members and seen by Billboard, the Recording Academy wrote:

“With the evolution of the event, we unfortunately will no longer be able to provide complimentary tickets for nominees to the afterparty, nor will we be able to accommodate as many guests as we have in the past. However, we will still have a limited number of tickets available for purchase, while supplies last. Be on the lookout for more information on ticket sales in November. Rest assured that, while the event itself will be smaller, the experience promises not to be, and impact on the next generation of music people will be greater.”

Speaking of changes, it was announced last week that the Grammys will have a new broadcast home in the near future: Starting in 2027, after decades on CBS, the Grammys will simulcast on ABC, Hulu, and Disney+.
