If you’re someone looking to attend a game at Rupp Arena this season, you’ll need to try the resale market. Every Kentucky men’s basketball home game for the remainder of the 2024-25 season has been sold out, UK announced on Friday.

The Wildcats have seven homes left on the schedule, all against SEC opponents. Three of those contests will come against ranked programs, not including the highly-anticipated return of John Calipari, who will bring a struggling Arkansas team to Rupp on Feb. 1. Below are UK’s remaining regular season home games.

  • Jan. 18 vs. No. 4 Alabama
  • Feb. 1 vs. Arkansas
  • Feb. 8 vs. South Carolina
  • Feb. 11 vs. No. 6 Tennessee
  • Feb. 19 vs. Vanderbilt
  • March 1 vs. No. 1 Auburn
  • March 4 vs. LSU

Tickets for games at Rupp will still be available online, but they must be purchased through the Ticketmaster resale market.

Kentucky is 11-0 this season at Rupp, which includes ranked wins over Florida and Texas A&M. The crowds have been great all season long, growing in size and excitement with every victory in Mark Pope‘s first season as head coach. His postgame radio shows have kept thousands upon thousands of fans in the arena even an hour after the games have finished.

The Wildcats scored at least 100 points five times this season when playing at home. They’ve shot better than 40 percent from the floor in every game at Rupp, as well. Kentucky’s crowd advantage has played a factor in the team’s overall success in Lexington. Fans are eager to cheer on the ‘Cats.

Is now a good time to mention that Louisville had to give away 1,000 free tickets just so fans would show up to the Yum! Center for the Cardinals’ upcoming matchup with Virginia?
