UK basketball tickets for the 2024-25 season go on sale Monday. Here’s how to get them.

Single-game tickets for the 2024-25 UK men’s basketball season will be on sale starting Monday.

Tickets for the Wildcats’ two exhibition games and first seven regular-season games will be made available though Ticketmaster.com and the Ticketmaster app at 5 p.m. EDT Monday. Tickets for the final 11 home games of the season — a portion of the UK basketball schedule that includes non-conference matchups with Louisville and Brown, as well as all nine SEC home games — will go on sale at a later date to be determined.

The team will play exhibition games against Kentucky Wesleyan (Oct. 23) and Minnesota State (Oct. 29) before the regular-season opener against Wright State in Rupp Arena on Nov. 4. The first group of available single-game tickets will also include the Cats’ matchup with Western Kentucky on Nov. 26.

UK announced TV information and tip times for most of its 2024-25 schedule Thursday.

There is no guarantee that single-game tickets will be available for all games, according to UK Athletics, which said in a press release Friday that there has been a “strong demand” for season tickets this season, which will be the first with Mark Pope as the team’s head coach.

Fans can also still register for the UK basketball season ticket lottery on the team’s website or by calling the UK Ticket Office at (800) 928-2287 (and selecting option 1).

Information on student tickets for the 2024-25 season is now available at UKStudentTix.com.
