Kentucky football season tickets are SOLD OUT

If you haven’t purchased your season tickets yet for the 2023 Kentucky football season, it’s too late. With just over two weeks to go before opening kick vs. Ball State, season tickets are officially sold out.

40,200 season tickets have been purchased while 6,500 student season passes are also sold out, reaching Kroger Field’s total allotment. It’s the most recorded during the Mark Stoops era, dating to 2013 — new stadium renovations from 2015 included.

Tickets are now 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!” said Mitch Barnhart, UK Director of Athletics.  “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!”

Fewer than 1,500 single-game tickets remain available for Kentucky’s matchup vs. Missouri on October 14 during Homecoming Weekend. Limited tickets remain for the Wildcats’ first three home games on Sept. 2 vs. Ball State, Sept. 9 vs. EKU and Sept. 16 vs. Akron.

Looking for available seats? 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.

What’s in store for the first three weekends of the season — beyond strong play from the Cats, of course — at Kroger Field?
