How To Purchase: Verified Resale Tickets
Once again this season, the UK Athletics Ticket Office, in conjunction with its partnership with Ticketmaster, will enable its resale marketplace for all home men’s basketball home games prior to the season tipping off. New this season, fans will be able to purchase officially verified resale tickets at Ticketmaster.com, prior to Kentucky’s public on-sale dates. TicketExchange by Ticketmaster is the only official resale market of UK Athletics. Season ticket holders may use the marketplace to post tickets on a game-by-game basis for which they cannot attend. Please note that tickets posted on Kentucky’s fan-to-fan marketplace may exceed face value.
How To Purchase: Public On-Sale Dates
In addition to this season’s resale option, single-game availability will continue to be offered through a series of public on-sale dates. Kentucky’s public on-sale dates consist of tickets that remain after the student distribution. It is possible that only a limited number of tickets will be available if the students purchase a majority of their allotment, as all other seats in Rupp Arena are sold as season ticket packages.
If tickets remain after the student distribution, they will first go on-sale to the general public online, exclusively through Ticketmaster.com, on the following dates. If tickets still remain following the 5 PM ET online sale, they will continue to be sold the following morning through Ticketmaster.com or by calling Ticketmaster at (800) 745-3000, by calling the Rupp Arena Box Office at (859) 233-3535 or in-person at the Joe Craft Center ticket office.
Premium Seating
A limited number of premium single-game ticket options are available through the K Fund. For pricing and availability, contact the K Fund at (859) 257-6300.

AWAY-GAMES
How To Purchase
The UK Ticket Office receives a very limited allotment of tickets to each away game that is used to accommodate players’ and coaches families and guests, therefore, tickets are not available to the public through Kentucky for away-games. To purchase tickets to one of Kentucky’s men’s basketball road games, please contact the host institution for ticket information and availability. A directory of SEC ticket offices can be found here.
SPECIAL EVENTS
