Recording Academy to Stop Giving Complimentary Afterparty Tickets to Grammy Nominees

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.

This year’s Grammy Celebration, the afterparty’s official name, will be hosted by the Grammy Museum at L.A. Live in downtown L.A. and will be held at the museum and the nearby Novo Theater. All proceeds from ticket sales will go to fund the museum’s music education initiatives.

“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,” the academy said in the email. “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.”

The academy also announced that Grammy House will take place at Rolling Greens in Los Angeles again in 2025. It describes Grammy House as “an immersive, accessible and inclusive space for music makers, culture creators, and industry leaders on the rise.”

“Designed to celebrate diverse voices and bring our community together, Grammy House is curated to honor and inspire over the four-day period and will offer an opportunity for members and others in our industry to meet, mingle, and celebrate during Grammy Week,” the academy added.
