For the first time since the 2019-2020 season, before the COVID-19 pandemic, season ticket prices for the games in Rupp Arena are going up. UK announced that 87% of season ticket holders will see a price increase.

A release from the university says prices for most of the upper-level bleacher seats are set to stay the same, however, the lower bowl, chairback areas of the upper deck, and select bleacher areas in the upper deck will increase in price. Nearly 80% of all season tickets will see either a 5% increase or no increase.

  • 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

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.
