If you are unable to attend a game after you have claimed a ticket, you may transfer your ticket to another UK student once you have received your ticket barcode. To help us create the best game day atmosphere for our teams, we encourage you to make sure that any tickets you claim are actually used!
Since seating is not assigned until arrival, you will still be able to sit with your friends, given you claim the same area and enter the venue together.
Ticket claim windows will be communicated prior to the start of each season, and a full calendar of claim dates by sport will be posted here by mid-August. If you miss a specified priority window, you will still have the opportunity to claim a ticket on a first-come, first-serve basis, while supplies last, prior to the event.
Once you have received your ticket barcode, you may electronically transfer your ticket to another UK student. The receiving student must be eligible for student tickets (full-time status) and have a valid UK student ID for entry. New for the 2022-23 season, screenshots of tickets will not be accepted at the point of entry due to SafeTix being implemented. To fight fraud, Ticketmaster launched SafeTix™, which uses an encrypted barcode that automatically refreshes every 15 seconds so the barcode cannot be stolen and used by another fan. For more information on SafeTix, visit www.UKathletics.com/MobileTickets.
Following each claim period for season pass holders. See the full calendar posted above for purchase dates by sport. Single-game inventory is made up of tickets held for single-game sales and tickets unclaimed by season pass holders. A limited number of single-game tickets will be available for each game and sold on a first-come, first-serve basis, while supplies last.
After students have access to purchase tickets, based on availability. Guest tickets are specially priced and do not require a student ID for admission. Students may sit with their guests, given they claim or purchase the same area and enter the venue together. See the full calendar posted above for purchase dates by sport. Guest tickets may not be available for every game, and prices will vary.
Full-time UK students with a valid UK Student ID are eligible to receive student ticket pricing and benefits. UK defines full-time status as 12 credit hours per semester for undergraduates, and 9 credit hours per semester for graduate students.
Students may request a BBN Student Football Pass as well as single-game men’s basketball tickets, based on availability. Students must remain full-time in order to utilize student tickets.
Student passes are non-refundable. However, students who drop below full-time status or those who will no longer be attending UK, and therefore are no longer eligible, may request a refund through Tuesday, August 30. Refunds must be requested in writing to StudentTickets@uky.edu and include the student’s full name, UK student ID number, and reason for the request. Service charges are non-refundable.
UK Athletics will make every effort to accommodate patrons with disabilities, based on seating availability.
