LEXINGTON, Ky. – Single-game tickets for Kentucky men’s basketball games will be offered this season through multiple public on-sale dates, the first of which will begin Tuesday, Oct. 6, at 5 p.m. ET.
The first public on-sale date for single-game tickets will include Kentucky’s first 10 home games: exhibition contests against Little Rock, UCF and Texas Tech, along with regular-season matchups against Manhattan, James Madison, Northern Arizona, Grambling State, Wichita State, Appalachian State and Bryant.
Tickets will be available exclusively online through Ticketmaster.
Fans can also visit the Kentucky Men’s Basketball Ticket Information page for complete ticketing information. In addition, fans are encouraged to shop the UK Athletics Official Marketplace powered by Ticketmaster for verified resale tickets to all home games.
Tickets for Kentucky’s final 12 home games will go on sale at a later date to be determined, pending availability.
With season ticket renewals complete and strong demand for new seats through the season ticket lottery, there is no guarantee that single-game tickets will be available for all games. Fans are reminded that single-game inventory for Kentucky basketball games is limited, as a majority of tickets are sold as season ticket packages or held as part of the student allotment. Additional ticket inventory from the student allotment may be released to the public at a later date, based upon student sales.
Premium Experiences
A limited number of premium courtside, floor-level and loge box single-game ticket options are available through the K Fund. All premium packages include parking and access to pre-game and halftime hospitality. For more information on these exclusive experiences, visit this page.
Hospitality add-ons for the Concentric Champions Club are also now available for all home games.
Group Tickets
Group tickets are a great way to provide entertainment for clients and businesses, team-building activities, employee appreciation outings, birthdays, youth teams, school groups and civic organizations. To learn more about purchasing group tickets for select early-season and holiday break games, submit an interest form or contact the UK Sales Office at (800) 928-2287 (Option 1). Complete information and benefits can be found on the UK Athletics Group Tickets page.
Student Tickets
Information on student tickets is available on the UK Athletics Student Tickets page, including how and when season-pass holders can claim tickets for each game, as well as how and when students can purchase single-game tickets. The student claim/purchase period for Kentucky’s three exhibition games and the Nov. 3 matchup with Manhattan began Sept. 21. The claim/purchase period for the next four regular-season home games (James Madison, Northern Arizona, Grambling State and Wichita State) begins Oct. 19.
Official Ticket Marketplace
In addition to the public on-sales, the UK Athletics Ticket Office, in conjunction with its partnership with Ticketmaster, also has enabled its online resale marketplace for all men’s basketball home games.
Ticketmaster’s resale marketplace is completely integrated with UK Athletics’ ticketing system and uses barcode verification technology to ensure the authenticity of all tickets. As the official fan-to-fan marketplace of Big Blue Nation, Ticketmaster provides fans with reliable and convenient access to purchase tickets for games and sections that otherwise might be unavailable, as well as post verified tickets for sale. Please note that tickets posted on Kentucky’s resale marketplace may exceed face value.
All tickets purchased directly through Kentucky’s official ticket outlets, including the UK Ticket Office, Ticketmaster, FEVO, the visiting team ticket office and the Rupp Arena box office, are guaranteed to be valid. UK Athletics cautions against purchasing tickets through other outlets that might be unable to provide this assurance. UK Athletics strives to provide fans with a ticketing experience that is convenient, safe and secure.
