Even Shadow Senator Paul Strauss had a car in the parade. And a classic one, to boot.

Just how pathetic is this season’s iteration of the Washington Wizards? The truly masochistic basketball fan can see the 0-8 team play tonight for the low, low, insultingly low price of 44 cents per ticket.

StubHub is offering 1,137 tickets for tonight’s game at the Verizon Center against the Indiana Pacers, whose 4-7 record seems enviable compared to the Wizards’ bumbling start to the 2012-13 season. If the Wizards lose again tonight, they’ll top the franchise record they set last season for most consecutive losses to open an NBA campaign.

The 51 tickets available for less than a buck are all in the mezzanine deck at the top of the arena. Seats up there usually go for $10. The nosebleed view isn’t great, but for a 96 percent discount, who cares? Besides, you’ll probably be able to move down a level or two by halfway through the second quarter.

And it’s not just the lousy seats that are going through a fire sale. Even first-level center court seats, which start at $200 before Ticketmaster fees, are available for as little as $70.

The record for most losses to begin an NBA season is 12, set by the 2001-02 Vancouver Grizzlies. And the worse the Wizards get, the cheaper the tickets could get. Right now, the only Wizards games that are competitively priced on StubHub are against the Los Angeles Lakers and Miami Heat, two teams likely to serve up a walloping when they come through the Verizon Center.
