LEXINGTON, Ky. – There has been two constants in Craig Skinner’s tenure as head coach of Kentucky volleyball: NCAA Tournament success and an incredible home court advantage. It’s time once again for fans to join in on the fun to form one of the best volleyball atmospheres in the nation when season tickets go on sale July 1.
Fans may purchase new season tickets by calling the UK Ticket Office at 800-928-CATS or online at UKAthletics.com/tickets. Reserved season tickets (sections C-G) are on sale for $50, while general admission season tickets are available for $35.
Single match tickets will go on sale August 10. Reserved tickets are $5 each, regardless of age. General admission tickets are $5 for adults, $2 for seniors (65+) and youth (6-18), while children age five and under are admitted free of charge. UK students and faculty/staff are admitted free with a valid UK student/employee ID.

General admission group tickets (20 or more individuals) are $4 for adults and $1 for youth/seniors, if purchased in advance by contacting the ticket office.
UK’s challenging 14-match home schedule, announced in May, includes a home-opener against Michigan State and rival Louisville will visit Memorial this season in addition to nine Southeastern Conference matches. Since Skinner’s arrival, the Wildcats are an impressive 134-31 (.812) at home and have won at least 10 home matches in a program-record nine-consecutive seasons.
Kentucky returns five starters and nine letter winners, including second-team All-America selection Morgan Bergren. The Wildcats welcome a five-member, highly-touted recruiting class to a team that went 27-6 last season and made the NCAA Tournament for a program-record 10th consecutive year.
Kentucky’s Memorial Coliseum will play host to the NCAA Regionals Dec. 11-12. UK is one of four sites selected for the Sweet 16 and Elite Eight matchups with one team advancing to the Final Four in Omaha, Neb., from the Lexington Region. This marks the third time in five seasons Memorial Coliseum will host this premier volleyball event.
