2018 Football Season Ticket Information Announced
LEXINGTON, Ky. – After a successful 2017 season that ended in a second consecutive bowl trip, UK Athletics has announced football ticket information for the 2018 season.
Ticket prices and corresponding K Fund donation levels will remain unchanged for the 2018 season, as will all parking prices and corresponding K Fund donations. Season tickets for UK’s seven-game home slate next season will be available for $310 apiece, with most seats in the 200-level available with no K Fund donation attached. Premium season tickets in the Suite Level, Loge Level, Woodford Reserve Mezzanine Club and Field Club are $350 apiece. Public season ticket packages in Sections 201-203 and 209-211 will be priced at $240. Fans can view a seating chart with the various pricing levels here.
Limited quantities of the Kentucky Football Pocket Pass will also return for the 2018 season, which includes a mobile ticket to all seven home games for a discounted price of $205 while supplies last. This unique option gives fans the opportunity to watch games from various viewpoints with a different seat each game. Seat locations will be delivered electronically to fans’ mobile devices. Fans may visit UKathletics.com/pass for more information and to purchase.
The renewal deadline for 2018 football season tickets is April 6, 2018. Renewals are currently available through each ticket holder’s My UK Athletics Account at UKathletics.com/renew. Paper renewal invoices will be mailed in early February. Season ticket renewals are available earlier than in recent seasons to allow fans additional payment plan options and to take advantage of year-end giving opportunities. Included in these new options, season ticket holders may renew their tickets online throughout December and January via a five-month payment plan option. This option requires no money due upon sign-up and the first installment will be automatically charged on Feb. 2, 2018.
Fans wishing to purchase new season tickets for the 2018 season are able to review and compare available seat locations through the Kentucky Football Virtual Venue.
UK’s 2018 home schedule features Southeastern Conference matchups against College Football Playoff participant Georgia, Mississippi State, South Carolina and Vanderbilt. The season begins with a Sept. 1, 2018 matchup against Central Michigan at Kroger Field, with nonconference foes Murray State and Middle Tennessee set to come to Lexington later in the season.
