Home 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.

Single game basketball tickets for 2012-2013 are $50.00 each for lower arena and $42.00 each for upper arena.  As part of the season ticket package, lower arena tickets are $45.00 each, and upper arena tickets are $40.00 each.  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 Renewals

Season ticket renewals for basketball are mailed in August each year. The deadline for season ticket renewals is September 5, 2012. If you have not received a renewal by the third week of August please call the ticket office.

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

Away game tickets are not available through our office. Fans should contact the school we are playing for away game tickets.
