News Summary
The University of Kentucky has announced a new ticketing policy for faculty and staff attending Kentucky Women’s Basketball games starting in the 2024-25 season. Although complimentary admission remains, tickets must now be claimed in advance through the UK Ticket Office before game day. This change aims to streamline the game-day experience, with tickets available monthly and limited walk-up options for high-demand games. Faculty and staff can still enjoy free admission for select sports, ensuring exciting matches remain accessible to fans.
Exciting Changes Coming for Kentucky Women’s Basketball Fans!
Lexington, Kentucky – If you’re a faculty or staff member at the University of Kentucky and love cheering on the Kentucky Women’s Basketball team, then get ready for some exciting changes to the ticketing process! As the 2024-25 season approaches, UK is implementing a new ticketing policy that promises to streamline your game-day experience.
What’s New?
Starting next season, all UK faculty and staff will still enjoy complimentary admission to Kentucky Women’s Basketball games, but there’s a little twist. Instead of just walking in, you’ll need to claim your tickets in advance for all the exciting matchups. So, make a note, because preparation is key!
How to Claim Your Tickets
If you’re looking to catch a game, simply show your UK ID at the UK Ticket Office located inside the Joe Craft Center during business hours before the game you want to attend. Once you flash that ID, tickets will be accessible through your UK Athletics Account. Don’t worry – it’s a simple process designed to make things easier for everyone!
The tickets will be available on a monthly basis for all the upcoming games, so keep an eye on the designated claim windows. And while there may be some limited gameday walk-up claims available, it’s important to remember that high-demand games could sell out before you even get a chance to grab a ticket!
Game Day Fun for Everyone
Mark Your Calendars for Big Matches!
Basketball buffs will be particularly eager for the upcoming showdown on February 2, when the Kentucky Wildcats, currently ranked No. 12/13, take on No. 13/12 Oklahoma at 4 p.m. ET at the Lloyd Noble Center. This marks the first meeting between these two teams as Southeastern Conference foes, adding extra flair to this exciting match!
The Wildcats are having a phenomenal season with a record of 18-2 overall and an impressive 7-1 in Southeastern Conference play. With two consecutive ranked matchups, including a recent victory over No. 22 Alabama, the atmosphere is sure to be electric as fans flock to support the team.
Players to Keep an Eye On
As the season unfolds, you won’t want to miss star players like Georgia Amoore, who leads the team with 20.5 points and averages 7.9 assists per league game. Clara Strack has been making waves too, averaging 14.3 points and grabbing 10.0 rebounds per game in conference play. It’s this kind of talent that has the Wildcats ranked 28th nationally in points per game, scoring an average of 78.3 points while holding opponents to 59.9 points.
Defensive Prowess
What makes the Wildcats even more impressive is their solid defense, ranking second in the league and 13th nationally for defensive field-goal percentage at just 35.2%. With such a challenging schedule ahead, the team is working hard to secure their spot in the NCAA tournament bracketology.
Let the Excitement Begin!
This new ticket policy promises to enhance your experience as a fan and ensure you don’t miss out on any of the action. So, faculty and staff at UK, prepare for the upcoming women’s basketball season with this new policy in mind and get ready to cheer on the Wildcats as they aim for victory!
