2011 All-Star Baseball in Phoenix, Arizona

The 2011 edition of the All-Star Game will be the 82nd Midsummer Classic. This will be the first time for both the Arizona Diamondbacks and the City of Phoenix to host the All-Star Game for Major League Baseball. The last time that the Diamondbacks hosted a major baseball event in downtown Phoenix, it was the World Series and we won! Since that time, downtown Phoenix has changed quite a bit, with a new convention center, new restaurants and the addition of METRO light rail. It is estimated that hosting this All-Star game will generate $60 million in direct economic impact to the Phoenix area.

How do I get tickets for 2011 Major League Baseball All-Star Game and how much are they?

Full-season ticket holders are given the first option on tickets. You can purchase All-Star Week ticket strips starting at $247 each (plus fees). Those ticket strips include:

One ticket to Taco Bell All-Star Sunday on July 10 at Chase Field featuring XM All-Star Futures Game & Taco Bell All-Star Legends & Celebrity Softball Game
One ticket to Gatorade All-Star Workout Day on July 11 at Chase Field featuring the State Farm Home Run Derby
One ticket to the 82nd MLB All-Star Game on July 12 at Chase Field
Two tickets to the MLB All-Star FanFest
One official All-Star Game program

If you were unable to get tickets through the ticket strip process mentioned above, you can probably get them through a legitimate ticket broker like TicketsNow.com (Buy Direct). Beware of fake tickets sold by scalpers or people posting at online auctions and ticket exchanges!

Are there any single ticket discounts available?

No.

What else should I know about the 2011 Major League Baseball All-Star Game?

The All-Star Game isn't just about one baseball game. There are several days of events associated with this celebration of bat and ball. Even if you don't end up with a ticket for the All-Star game itself, you'll be able to participate in another event, like the MLB All-Star FanFest, the Home Run Derby, the Future's Game featuring the game's top prospects, and a celebrity softball game. As all the events surrounding the MLB All-Star Game are announced, I'll be posting details.
