SECURITY CHECKS

Kroger Field Clear Bag Policy

This season, to improve public safety and help speed entry, the SEC has adopted a league-wide clear bag policy for all football games and we are implementing the policy accordingly at Kroger Field starting this fall. Each fan, will be permitted to carry one large clear bag – either a one-gallon Ziploc-style bag or a 12″ x 6″ x 12″ clear bag – plus a small clutch that does not exceed 4.5″ x 6.5″. A clear bag shall be clear from top-to-bottom and up to a 2″ trim/border on the bag is generally acceptable. The small clutch allows privacy for small personal items and is also easily searched. The policy has been in place in the NFL for the last few seasons and eight SEC schools also implemented it prior to league-wide implementation. Based on what we learned from those previous implementations, we wanted to communicate this change to you well in advance of the season. If you have any questions about the policy, please contact 859.218.3716 or BBNfirst@uky.edu

Pass Outs: Per Southeastern Conference regulations, once admitted, no ticket holder shall be permitted to leave and re-enter the stadium on the same ticket.

Ticket Resale: UK Athletics urges fans to use caution against counterfeit tickets and unauthorized sellers. There are only six ticket outlets authorized to sell tickets to UK Athletics events (UK Ticket Office, Ticketmaster or TicketExchange, ReplyBuy, FEVO, Experience or the visiting team ticket office). Only tickets purchased directly from these six sources are guaranteed to be valid. When purchasing or acquiring tickets through any other source the buyer is at risk of receiving fraudulent or invalid tickets. The UK Ticket Office is unable to provide support for tickets purchased through unauthorized sellers. Tickets are not to be sold in the immediate vicinity of the ticket office and stadium. Visit our Ticket Security page for more information.
Ticket holders are able to post and sell tickets at face value or above through TicketExchange, using various pricing options. Season ticket holders who are unable to attend all games are encouraged to sell tickets only through TicketExchange in order to maximize return on their investment while complying with all state, local and team regulations regarding the sale of tickets. To sell tickets, season ticket holders should log directly on to their My UK Account and use the Manage My Tickets module, while all other ticket holders should visit UKathletics.com/TicketExchange to post their tickets by entering barcode numbers.

Digital Ticketing: UK Athletics has partnered with Ticketmaster to make mobile ticketing available to fans at Kroger Field. All season tickets and single-game tickets purchased directly through the UK Ticket Office correspond with a My UK Account. To log-in, visit UKathletics.com/MyUKAccount. Fans that purchase single-game tickets through Ticketmaster can view and manage their tickets by selecting the “My Tickets” link within the UK Athletics app. For more information on mobile ticketing, visit UKathletics.com/DigitalDelivery.
