LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) – Kentucky’s home football game against Vanderbilt is sold out at Kroger Field, with kickoff set for 7:30 p.m. Saturday.
UK athletics officials announced the sellout last Sunday, one day after Kentucky’s win over Oklahoma. The Wildcats enter Saturday’s game with a 6-1 record.
StubHub says demand for Wildcats tickets is up double digits year over year. Ticket prices, buyer data and betting trends reflect that surge:

Outside William T. Young Library Friday, students said the game was a common topic of conversation on campus.
UK freshman Peyton Lemay said, “After that game with Oklahoma, I’m really excited to see what Kentucky can do against Vandy and see what we’ll do to beat them.”
UK freshman Zach England said, “Everywhere you go, you always hear something about the football game, you know.”
Lemay said he felt the price increase firsthand while trying to get tickets. “It was surprising how fast they took off after that Oklahoma game. It’s crazy,” he said.
England said he understands the demand and credited coach Stein with putting UK’s football program back on the map.
“With the record he has, he’s proved his worth here. So, I’m really glad that he has,” England said.
