NBA All Star Game Tickets Fall 30% on Player Injury News

“Get-in” ticket prices for the 2026 NBA All-Star Game have fallen significantly — down roughly 30% from just last week, according to Gametime's ticket marketplace data. Median prices tell a similar story, with an 18% price dip across all ticket listings. This drop comes after a period of record-high pricing for this year’s midseason showcase, which saw average ticket costs spike amid strong demand earlier in the season. 

The price retreat coincides with recent developments surrounding the league’s biggest stars. Stephen Curry has been ruled out of the All-Star Game due to a knee injury, forcing the Golden State Warriors guard to sit out this year’s festivities. Meanwhile, Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo also won’t play because of injury, further reducing the presence of marquee talent on the court. 

While Curry and Giannis were among the headline attractions for this year’s event, their absences appear to have softened market demand — at least in the short term — as fans reassess the cost of attending without some of the league’s most popular stars. 

NBA All Star Game tickets are available on Gametime from $531 as of February 12, 2026.
