With the Kentucky football team winning four of its last five games and taking Tennessee to the wire on Saturday, pre-reserved ticket orders for UK?s bowl game continue to gain momentum. UK season-ticket holders and K-Fund members already have reserved more than 7,000 tickets for the Gaylord Hotels Music City Bowl, AutoZone Liberty Bowl, and Chick-fil-A Bowl.
Kentucky football season ticket holders and K-Fund members have a deadline of Fri. Dec. 1 at 4:00 p.m. to reserve bowl tickets during the advance priority period. Wildcat fans are encouraged to buy their tickets through UK, which puts the fan in the official team section and also benefits UK by helping meet the minimum sales requirement that the school will have.
?The fans? response has been tremendous, especially considering we don?t know our bowl yet,? said Mark Coyle, UK Senior Associate Director of Athletics. ?We?ve been very busy processing the orders. We encourage our season ticket holders and K-Fund members to take advantage of their priority.?
Current season-ticket holders and K- Fund members have the opportunity to reserve bowl tickets by Friday at 4 p.m. All ticket orders will be allocated based on the priority point system, and UK reserves the right to limit order quantities based on ticket availability.
