Kentucky Football nearing sellout vs. Eastern Kentucky

If you hope to attend Kentucky football‘s matchup vs. Eastern Kentucky at Kroger Field and you haven’t purchased your tickets quite yet, you better act fast. Really fast. Before you’re done reading this post fast.

Because fewer than 100 tickets remain available for the head-to-head battle, the University of Kentucky announced Friday afternoon. That direct link is right here, assuming they’re still there by the time you click.

Update: fewer than 100 tickets remain available for tomorrow's @UKFootball game vs. EKU.

The near-sellout comes after a jam-packed home opener against Ball State where the second-level corners were the only empty seats in the stadium. Overall, season tickets sold out two weeks ahead of the opening kickoff with 40,200 of those to go with 6,500 student season passes.

For those keeping track at home, that’s the most ever recorded during the Mark Stoops era dating back to 2013 — new stadium renovations from 2015 included.

On the year, tickets are limited to single-game orders, with Kentucky’s matchup vs. Florida on September 30, Tennessee on October 28 and Alabama on November 11 all completely sold out.

“We’re very excited and thankful to the fans for their great response in anticipation of the upcoming season!” Mitch Barnhart said ahead of the season.  “Coach Stoops and the team love the support they get from the Big Blue Nation and we’ve all seen what a difference it can make on game day.  I can’t wait to see everyone at Kroger Field this fall!”

Fans are encouraged to utilize the UK Athletics Official Marketplace powered by Ticketmaster, which features verified resale tickets integrated with the Wildcats’ ticketing system and uses barcode verification technology to ensure the authenticity of all tickets.

As for the Eastern Kentucky game specifically, the Wildcats are celebrating Heroes Day, where military, law enforcement, fire, emergency medical services, and government employees are eligible for one complimentary ticket for themselves in addition to specially priced guest tickets through UKathletics.com/GovX. It is also Youth Sports and Activities Day, where youth teams from across the area are eligible for specially-priced tickets starting at $15 (contact Caleb Young at [email protected] or (859) 218-4978 for more details). Both offers were and are available while supplies last.

The more the merrier to watch Kentucky start the regular season 2-0.

Sell this thing out, BBN.
