UK warns fans about where they buy basketball tickets

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WTVQ) – The University of Kentucky Athletics Department is cautioning Solid Blue fans about where they get their tickets for home games the rest of the season because of the potential of buying a fake ticket.

Only tickets purchased directly through the UK Ticket Office, the Rupp Arena Ticket Office, Ticketmaster, Ticket Exchange or UK Fast Pass are guaranteed to be valid.

If fans buy tickets from any other source, they’re taking the risk that it may be fake and they won’t be allowed into the game.

Ticket Exchange is the only resale marketplace that UK authorizes.
