NBA All-Star Tickets: Your Bank Account’s Longest Slam Dunk Ever

KEY POINTS

•The 2026 NBA All-Star games take place in Inglewood, California, at the Clippers’ home court, the Intuit Dome.
•Events run from February 13-15, featuring Rising Stars, Celebrity Game, HBCU Classic, All-Star Saturday Night, and the main All-Star Game.
•Ticket prices range wildly from $43 for the HBCU Classic to over $1,000 for All-Star Saturday Night, with purchases available via StubHub and Vivid Seats.

Ready your wallets for the 2026 NBA All-Star circus in Inglewood, CA—home of the Clippers and ticket prices that could fund a small country. On February 13, brace for Rising Stars tickets around $115 and an All-Star Celebrity game priced at $85-$98, because apparently watching celebrities awkwardly dribble is a premium experience. The HBCU Classic that evening is a 'bargain' at $43-$46, so prepare to sabotage your savings gradually. The pièce de résistance? All-Star Saturday Night on February 14 rings in at a breathtaking $786-$1,029—because why not pay rent for a month to see the basketball equivalent of a halftime show? Tickets can be hunted down on StubHub and Vivid Seats, where affiliate commissions are probably already threatening foreclosure on your house. Meanwhile, WNBA fans must wait until summer but can enjoy a trip to Chicago for their All-Star showdown, because the NBA figured they’d stretch your patience as much as your bank account. Fan voting, which ended January 6, is half fan, half insider vote—proof even basketball keeps democracy vague enough to feel important without messing up the hype machine. In short, you can watch 24 top players battle it out, or just marvel at the cost of communal suffering disguised as live sport.
