Football Season Ticket, Parking Information Announced
LEXINGTON, Ky. – With Kentucky set for its second season in The New Commonwealth Stadium this fall, UK Athletics announced ticket and parking information for the 2016 season on Thursday.
Season tickets throughout the seating bowl for UK’s seven-game home schedule will be available for $280, reflecting the same average per-game ticket price of $40 as 2015. K Fund donations for the 2016 season will remain unchanged for the upcoming year. The majority of seats in the 200-level will again have no K Fund donation attached. Premium season tickets in the Suite Level, Loge Level, Woodford Reserve Club and Field Club will be priced at $320. Additionally, public season ticket packages in Sections 201-203 and 209-211 will be priced at $210, reflecting a new price point for fans to enjoy Kentucky football. Fans can view the new seating chart and various pricing levels here.
Continuing to enhance the game-day experience for fans, UK will invest in adding permanent bench backs to the existing bleachers in the following sections, prior to the Sept. 3 home opener. These improvements will include all seats in Sections 1-2; 10-22; and 30-31 for the upcoming year.

Season ticket holders should opt-in now by checking the box on the back of their paper renewal invoice or answering the appropriate questions as part of the online renewal process. Those who opt-in will receive a seat selection appointment time in early May and will be able to browse the Virtual Venue and select upgraded seats from our entire inventory of available seats.
