Home and Away Game Individual Tickets
If you want to buy single game tickets please read the following disclaimer before you order tickets: Tickets are only available if the students do not pick up their whole allotment. We do not know until the sale dates that are listed whether or not we will have tickets. AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SEASON ALL GAMES WILL BE LISTED. IF A GAME SELLS OUT DURING STUDENT DISTRIBUTION, IT WILL BE REMOVED BEFORE THE SALE DATE. Also, once you purchase tickets, there are NO REFUNDS or cancellations.
Basketball tickets for 2011-2012 are $40.00 each for lower arena and $35.00 each for upper arena. There are 20 home games included in the season ticket package.
Individual home game ticket sales depend on student demand for each game. IF tickets are available after the student distribution, they will FIRST go on sale to the general public ONLINE through Ticketmaster.com on the following dates. If tickets still remain following a 6:00 pm online sale, we will then accept phone and walk-up orders at the Joe Craft Center ticket office the following morning. For high demand games, IF we have any tickets to release for a 6:00 pm sale, they typically sell out very quickly and are not available the following morning, so we suggest placing your order at 6:00 pm through Ticketmaster.
Season Ticket Lottery
Contrary to popular belief, there is no waiting list for season tickets, we have a lottery system in place to award season tickets. The number of season tickets available in the lottery each year depends on the number of non-renewed season tickets from previous year. Due to the extremely high renewal rate of basketball season tickets, only a limited number of upper level seats are available each year in the lottery. If you would like to enter your name into the basketball ticket lottery for season tickets, send your name, address, daytime telephone number(s), and email address on a postcard to:
UK Basketball Ticket Lottery
Room A-113 Joe Craft Center
338 Lexington Avenue
Lexington, KY 40506-0604
Drawings are held the second week of October through the first week of November for two (2) upper level seats. You will be notified only if your name is drawn. Limit one entry per person. We do not notify people who are not drawn. You will need to resend your request each year until you are drawn, as names that are not drawn for the present year are discarded after the lottery is over. If you are a regular, full-time faculty/staff member at the University of Kentucky, we hold a separate lottery before the public ticket lottery each year. Please send a postcard following the same directions above, and indicate "UK Faculty/Staff" on your postcard. UK Faculty/Staff receive a 20% discount on two season tickets if they are drawn in the lottery.
Season ticket prices are determined by multiplying the number of HOME games that season times the cost of the tickets.
Away Games and Special Events
No away games are available through our office. Contact the school we are playing for away game tickets.
Faculty/Staff Ticket Availability
The University of Kentucky Staff Senate, in conjunction with UK Athletics, is pleased to offer full-time UK faculty and staff the opportunity to purchase tickets to UK Men's Basketball home games prior to the tickets being released for sale to the general public.
Following each UK student ticket distribution for men's basketball games, full-time UK faculty and staff will have the opportunity to purchase unclaimed student tickets, if available. Tickets will be available from noon to 4 p.m. on that day only and may be purchased at the UK Ticket Office in the Joe Craft Center. No phone orders will be accepted and ticket limits may apply based on availability. Each full-time faculty/staff member will need to present a valid UK ID (Blue Faculty/Staff ID card only; no departmental ID's will be accepted.) Note: if the students sell out of their ticket allotment, there will be NO faculty/staff tickets available to sell.
