NEW YORK -- NBA fans will have the opportunity to reserve their place as part of the largest crowd ever to witness a basketball game when an additional round of tickets go on sale Tuesday, Nov. 17, at 11 a.m. ET (10 a.m. CT) for the 2010 NBA All-Star Game. Baseline Plaza tickets for the historic game, which will be played before a crowd of more than 80,000 at Cowboys Stadium, will be $30.

A limited number of standing-room-only Baseline Plaza tickets for the 2010 NBA All-Star Game will be available at Ticketmaster.com, Ticketmaster outlets, the American Airlines Center, Cowboys Stadium, or by calling 800-4-NBA-TIX.

"The 2010 NBA All-Star Game will be a special kind of experience for NBA fans," said Executive Vice President, NBA Events and Attractions, Ski Austin. "Through the hard work and cooperation of the Dallas Mavericks and the Dallas Cowboys, we are able to offer fans the opportunity to say that they were part of one of the most historic events in NBA history."

The Baseline Plaza was created to accommodate additional fans following the extraordinary fan response through pre-sales and the initial general public sale. The additional three levels located at either end of the stadium will provide fans a special setting to experience the sights, sounds and energy of the 2010 NBA All-Star Game.

The largest crowd ever to watch an NBA All-Star Game was in 1989 when the Western Conference posted a 143-134 victory at the Houston Astrodome in front of 44,735 fans.
