UK Season Tickets WAY Down

The non-league games do not make many fans want to rush out and get tickets for them.

First time I can remember not having season tickets in our family since 1980!!!! Hopefully UK starts getting the hint that the fans have higher expectations than lip service as far as support for football.

How long before UK starts tying basketball season tickets into football packages?

Will they make basketball season ticket holders start buying a football package, or a football season tickets to keep their basketball seats? I think, but could be wrong, UC did something similar when their basketball team was a big ticket and football team was struggling.

Not the best PR move in the world, but from a marketing standpoint it makes sense. In one sport, demand overwhelms supply. In the other sport supply overwhelms demand. Why not tie the two together?

What did they do for those who just wanted football tickets?

Honestly I wouldn't go to a UK football game if you paid me. Not shocked people aren't spending their money on a crappy product.

UK returned 2,000 tickets to UL for the game. Couldn't sell them.

$78 a piece according to KSR. Add in the fact that UK sucks and I'm not shocked at all.

I thought about getting season tickets a couple years ago but decided against it. It is always very easy to pickup a couple of tickets prior to the game the 3 or 4 times a year I decide to ride down and make a day of it with my son who attends UK.

Tickets are easy to come by in the tailgating area.

They say UK only offered the tickets to season ticket holders and returned all that was left. They didn't even offer them to the public.

So UL gave UK a certain amount of tickets to be sold for $78. UK offered to only season tix holders and returned the rest. Now UL is selling those same tickets for $50? What gives? Many UK fans are claiming they didn't buy them because they were priced to high, yet UL turns around and offers a $28 discount? Wow. Any explanations?

My son says UL always makes a big show of returning UK tickets. He worked in the ticket office for four years while in college at UK. UK would get an allotment and sell them all. They'd get another and sell them. They'd get a third allotment and not sell many and then UL would make a statement about how many they had to return.

Fun and games.

5K is a pretty standard number for a visitors allotment. UK only sold roughly 2K? Not so fun in numbers for UK this time around...

No question that this year it's a poor reflection. I'm just saying it's not unusual for the UL announcement about it.

So why didn't UL sell them for $78, like they required UK to do?

That's a new one to my son. Not familiar with that but each school gets to make their own rules.

Why didn't UK offer it to non-season ticket holders?

If they can find a way to beat U of L, that motivation could energize them to 6 maybe 7 wins.

I hope Joker realizes the importance of that game and how it could determine his future at UK.

No disrespect, but I do not see this team able to win 6-7 games if they played the same number of games as the basketball team.

Joker and company can spin it anyway they want, but there is not a SEC competitive ballclub over on Cooper Drive in 2012.
