Fans encouraged to arrive early, be cautious of counterfeit, invalid tickets
LEXINGTON – October 5, 2021
This Saturday’s Kentucky Football game vs. LSU, kicking off at 7:30 p.m. ET, is sold out. With another capacity crowd expected, and with Keeneland’s fall meet opening weekend also going on, UK Athletics is issuing important reminders to fans.
Verified resale tickets, which provide unmatched safety, are available via the Ticketmaster official resale marketplace. November matchups against Tennessee and New Mexico State are still on sale.
UK Athletics urges fans to use caution against counterfeit and invalid tickets. Only tickets purchased directly through the following outlets are guaranteed to be valid:
· The UK Ticket Office
· Ticketmaster, including Ticketmaster’s official resale marketplace
· FEVO
· Visiting team ticket office
UK Athletics cautions against purchasing tickets through other outlets that may be unable to provide this assurance. That risk is magnified for sold-out games like the matchup this coming Saturday.
UK Athletics continuously strives to implement technological advances to provide fans with a ticketing experience that is convenient, safe and secure. For more information about ticket security, visit UKathletics.com/TicketSecurity or contact the UK Ticket Office at (800) 928-2287 (Option 4).
Ticketmaster is the home of the official and authorized resale platform for UK Athletics tickets, using barcode verification technology to ensure ticket authenticity. Resale tickets for the Florida game may be purchased by clicking this link.
Ticket holders should also be aware of the potential risks of posting pictures of their tickets, specifically the QR barcode, on the internet in any way. Always cover the barcode when posting pictures of tickets online, and avoid exposing personal information like your name, address or credit card information.
