**RESERVED PARKING **

The K Fund is excited to offer the opportunity to purchase a Reserved Parking Space adjacent to the stadium for the 2011 Football Season.  The Reserved Parking area is designated as VIP in the new parking permit map.  The reserved lot includes easy access, a guaranteed spot no matter what time of arrival and an opportunity to increase your K Fund priority ranking.  For an annual $2,500 tax deductible gift you can purchase a Reserved Season Parking Permit in either the Red or Blue Lots.  The $2,500 gift is above and beyond any current K Fund giving, and the cost of the permit is $275.  If you are interested, or have any questions, please contact the K Fund at (859) 257-8018.

Acquiring a Season Parking Pass

Game-day parking for all lots surrounding Commonwealth Stadium is reserved for season pass holders. Season passes are renewable along with season tickets each year. Season passes continue to be sold out each year; therefore, all new, additional, and upgrade requests are placed on a wait list in order of priority rank. After the renewal deadline, season parking passes which are not renewed are then allocated to those on the wait list via the priority point system. This system applies to ALL football parking permits, including Red, Blue, Green, Orange, Purple, PS1, Red Accessible, Blue Accessible, and Reserved RV.

For the 2011 football season, we were able to offer season passes to those on the wait list with a priority rank of 8,406 or better. Please keep in mind that this cut-off rank will change each year based on account activities for those on the wait list and the number of parking passes returned during the renewal period. For a snapshot of current priority ranks and their equivalent point totals, see the chart below.

K Fund Priority Rank Estimates - as of July 1, 2011*

For example, if you currently have 82 points, your priority point rank is approximately 9,000. Priority ranks range from 1 (highest number of points) to approximately 35,000 (lowest number of points).

*Priority ranks are updated daily. Even though your point total may not change every day, your priority rank fluctuates based on the point activities of all accounts. The K Fund operates on a fiscal year of July 1-June 30.

For more information on season parking passes, to be placed on the parking pass wait list, or to verify your priority rank and point totals, please contact the K Fund Office at (859) 257-6300 or via email at KFund@uky.edu.

Parking Rules and Regulations

• Lots are reserved up to one hour before kickoff.  During the one-hour period to kickoff, lots will be filled according to availability.  If your designated lot is full upon arrival, you will be directed to the next available lot.
• Display your hangtag at ALL times.
• Detach your parking ticket stub at the bottom of the hangtag and present to the parking attendants as you enter the lot.  Everyone must present a ticket to enter.
• Lots are reserved, spaces are not.  One Pass, One Vehicle, One Space.
• Spaces are available on a first-come, first-serve basis.
• No open alcoholic containers are permitted at Commonwealth Stadium.
• UK is not responsible for any lost or stolen items.
• Any scalping above face value, duplication, or misuse of a permit may result in loss of parking privileges.
• If you bring a trailer into one of the paved lots you must have a permit for the entire area you take up.  For example, if you have an SUV with a trailer in the Blue Lot you must have 2 permits or you will not be admitted into the lot.
• RVs, or any other vehicle larger than a standard size parking space, must have an RV pass to park in the RV Lot.  RVs, or any other vehicle larger than a standard size parking space are not permitted to park in non-RV lots.
• If you have a disabled permit, you must have proof on file with UK Athletics, a state issued disabled parking placard issued in your name.

RV Lot Information

The RV Lot will be relocated from the Red Lot on the corner of University and Cooper Drive to the Blue Lot across from Alumni Dr beginning with the 2010 Football Season.  This will eliminate the need for staging the RVs in different lots the night before home football games and will help with traffic flow both in and out of the stadium on Alumni Dr.

Guidelines for Disabled Parking Permits

To purchase/renew a disabled parking pass for the 2010 Football Season one must provide a copy of your state issued disabled parking placard and/or copy of your registration receipt for disabled parking issued by your county clerk's office or transportation cabinet.

If you currently will be renewing a UK disabled parking pass for the 2010 Football Season, you are required to provide the proper documentation listed above or your pass will not be mailed until this documentation is received and the pass is paid in full.

If you no longer require disabled parking for home football games, or do not have the proper documentation to provide, please notify the K Fund and we will assign parking to you in a non-disabled lot.  If the K Fund does not hear from you, or receive the documentation required, by May 21st, 2010 you will not receive a season parking pass for the upcoming football season.  Please contact the K Fund at (859) 257-6300 if you have any questions or concerns.

Important Ticket Office Policies

Parking Permits are classified as a "ticket" and are part of the sporting event, therefore, parking permits are subject to UK Athletics Scalping Policy.

Scalping: Act 518, 070-Ticket scalping. A person is guilty of ticket scalping when he/she intentionally sells or offers to sell a ticket to an event at a price greater than that charged at the place of admission or printed on the ticket, unless authorized by the issuer or by law. Ticket scalping is a violoation, and any person who sells a ticket to any sporting event at a price in excess of the price appearing on the ticket shall be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than one hundred dollars.

Scalping (selling a ticket above face value) violates University policy and Kentucky law. Selling or soliciting the sale of a ticket (even at face value) on campus without a permit also violates University policy. Therefore, a violation of these University policies or this Kentucky law may result in your ineligibility to purchase basketball or football tickets even if criminal charges are not filed against you. The Athletic Department reserves the right to declare you ineligible to order tickets if we receive sufficient evidence that a football or basketball ticket assigned to you was sold for greater than the face value of the ticket.
