NBA All-Star Weekend 2027 heads to Phoenix from February 19–21, 2027, at the Mortgage Matchup Center (the Phoenix Suns’ arena). In October 2026, resale tickets for Sunday’s All-Star Game started around $999–$1,168, All-Star Saturday Night (dunk contest, three-point shootout, skills challenge) listed from about $1,371, and Friday’s Rising Stars events from around $599. Official face-value tickets had not yet hit public onsale as of October 2026—the NBA typically releases them in presale waves closer to the event.
How Much Are NBA All Star Tickets 2027 by Event?
All-Star Weekend is three separate ticketed events, and they price very differently. Here is the resale picture as of October 2026:
| Event | Date | October 2026 resale snapshot |
|---|---|---|
| NBA All-Star Friday (Rising Stars, Celebrity Game) | Fri, Feb 19, 2027 | From ~$599 |
| All-Star Saturday Night (Skills, 3-Point, Dunk Contest) | Sat, Feb 20, 2027 | From ~$1,371 |
| NBA All-Star Game (Sunday) | Sun, Feb 21, 2027 | From ~$999–$1,168; average ~$1,653; top listings ~$2,628 |
Notably, All-Star Saturday Night is pricing above the Sunday game right now—the dunk contest and three-point shootout are historically the hottest ticket of the weekend among serious basketball fans. The Sunday game still commands the highest average price because of courtside and premium inventory.
What Does Face Value Cost?
The NBA has not publicly confirmed 2027 All-Star face-value pricing as of October 2026. Historically, the league releases All-Star tickets in waves through its official channels:
- Presale waves for select groups (previous buyers, NBA email subscribers, and card-partner offers) before any public sale.
- Public onsale once dates and rosters firm up, typically in the fall or early winter before the February event.
- Individual event tickets for Friday and Saturday, plus Sunday game tickets, sold separately—there is no standard “weekend bundle” at face value most years.
Face value for upper-level All-Star Game seats has historically landed in the mid hundreds, with lower-bowl seats in the low four figures and courtside far beyond that. Until the NBA publishes 2027 pricing, treat the resale numbers above as the only confirmed market—and do not pay a premium for “face value” offers from unofficial sellers, because there is no public face value to compare against yet.
Breaking Down Each Day of All-Star Weekend
Friday, February 19 – Rising Stars and Celebrity Game.
The cheapest way into the building. The Rising Stars tournament (first- and second-year players) and the Celebrity Game headline Friday. At ~$599 resale in October 2026, Friday is roughly half the cost of Sunday—a smart pick for families or anyone who wants the atmosphere without the headline price.
Saturday, February 20 – All-Star Saturday Night.
The Skills Challenge, Three-Point Contest, and Slam Dunk Contest. Saturday routinely rivals or beats Sunday on price because the events are made for TV and packed with stars. At ~$1,371 get-in, it is currently the priciest day of the weekend.
Sunday, February 21 – NBA All-Star Game.
The main event. Resale get-in sat around $999–$1,168 in October 2026, with an average ticket price near $1,653 and premium seats up to $2,628. Sunday has the most inventory overall, which keeps the entry price slightly lower than Saturday even as the best seats climb higher.
How to Buy NBA All-Star 2027 Tickets
- Watch for the official onsale. Register with NBA.com’s ticketing alerts and the Suns’ newsletter so you hear about presale waves the moment they drop.
- Buy early at face value if you can. All-Star tickets almost never get cheaper than their initial official price—this is not a regular-season game that softens on game day.
- Compare resale marketplaces. Check all-in prices (fees included) across at least two or three platforms. For a $1,000+ ticket, fee differences alone can swing the total by hundreds.
- Consider Friday or Saturday. If the Sunday game is out of reach, Saturday Night delivers arguably the best on-court entertainment of the weekend, and Friday is the budget play.
- Beware of speculative listings. Some resale listings appear before official tickets exist. They are legal on most platforms but carry fulfillment risk—stick to sellers with strong delivery guarantees.
Travel Tips for Phoenix in February
Phoenix in February is peak season—golf, spring training, and now All-Star Weekend all collide. Hotels near downtown Phoenix and the Mortgage Matchup Center (201 East Jefferson Street) will book up and price up fast. If you are flying in, lock lodging as soon as you have tickets; the arena is well served by the Valley Metro light rail, so you can stay farther out and ride in.
