Big Blue Nation, the annual Big Blue Madness exhibition event is rapidly approaching, and on Monday, UK Athletics released some noteworthy news regarding tickets.
Admission tickets for the highly anticipated event will become available exclusively online on Friday, Sept. 18, starting at 5 p.m. ET.
Those interested in attending may secure tickets at Ticketmaster.com or through the Ticketmaster app. Online orders are free, but will include a minimal service fee, and there will be a limit of 4 tickets per household.
This year, Big Blue Madness is slated for Friday, Oct. 2 at 7 p.m. ET, while the second-annual Big Blue Madness Fan Fest is set for Saturday, Oct. 3; additional details regarding activities and programming will be announced soon.
Big Blue Madness is always a blast, featuring staff introductions, team activities, entertainment, and an open practice for both the men’s and women’s basketball programs.
Over the years, Big Blue Madness has become a tradition surrounding UK hoops, drawing thousands of fans to Rupp Arena and generating excitement ahead of the season.
Along with player and coach introductions, Big Blue Madness occasionally features special guests as well, and last season former Kentucky men’s basketball icon John Wall was introduced with head coach Mark Pope, bringing the crowd to its feet.
The year before, Mark Pope’s first Big Blue Madness, he brought out his former coach when he was a player in Lexington, Rick Pitino.
Big Blue Madness serves as an unofficial tip-off to the new season, and I highly recommend you get in on the tickets as soon as possible, because trust me, they go fast.
