Season ticket renewals for the 2024-25 Kentucky men’s basketball season are now available to all season ticket holders.
Early renewal incentives will be available through Aug. 8. The renewal deadline is Thursday, Aug. 29.
“We have the greatest fans in the country, and we cannot wait to play in front of Big Blue Nation this season,” UK head coach Mark Pope said. “We are super thankful to our season-ticket holders and all our fans who make Rupp Arena the best home-court environment in all of sports. Our team is full of young men we all can be proud of, and we have spent the summer working hard, coming together as a team and preparing to chase No. 9.”
Season ticket holders will receive an email with instructions on how to renew tickets for the upcoming season. Renewals are now available online through each season ticket holder’s My UK Athletics Account. Invoices will also be mailed in August. Fans needing assistance with their online account are encouraged to contact the UK Ticket Office at (859) 257-1818 or send an email to uktickets@uky.edu.
While Kentucky men’s basketball ticket prices have not risen anywhere in Rupp Arena at Central Bank Center since the 2019-20 season, most seating sections will see price increases for 2024-25. The areas where prices will go up are in the lower bowl, chairback areas of the upper bowl, and select bleacher areas in the upper bowl. Prices for most upper-level bleacher seats will remain unchanged.
With this year’s adjustments, nearly 80 percent of all season tickets will see either a 5 percent increase or no increase at all. The most significant adjustments are in the premium seating areas nearest the court, including the sideline risers, which were part of a new seat selection process this past spring, and in the first four permanent rows along both lower-level sidelines.
- 13% of season ticket holders will experience no increase
- 64% of season ticket holders will experience an approximate 5% increase
- 16% of season ticket holders will experience an approximate 12% increase
- 7% of season ticket holders will experience an approximate 25% or higher increase
UK Athletics remains committed to providing a variety of ticket options and maintaining a great home court advantage, while adjusting to market forces and the revenue growth required for the program to strive toward championships.Season ticket pricing and per seat K Fund donations did not change for the last four years, dating to before the COVID Pandemic. Prices decreased by $50-$100 each behind the baskets and in select corner areas of the 200-level before the 2022-23 season.
With this season’s price changes, the lower level will expand from four to 10 price levels. K Fund donations will vary for each price level. The last K Fund adjustment on lower-level seats was prior to the 2014-2015 season.
