There are few preseason events like Big Blue Madness for Kentucky basketball. It's a hugely popular day on the schedule for fans, who will fill the stands to watch the fans get introduced to this year's roster, and it's almost time to get tickets.
This year's Big Blue Madness will take place on Oct. 2 and 7:00 P.M. at Rupp Arena. Then Fan Fest will be the next day at the Central Bank Center. Tickets, which are free, will go quickly, and now fans know when to acquire them.
Ticketmaster will be handling he distribution of the tickets for Big Blue Madness, and that begins on Friday, Sep. 18, beginning at 5:00 P.M. There is a limit of two tickets per household so that more fans have a shot to land a seat at the festivities.
The 2026 season is a big one for Kentucky. Mark Pope has his best team yet, and needs to compete for an SEC championship, and win some games in March. Another disappointing season will inevitably result in fans calling for his job, as they did last season.
There is optimism, however, and heading into Big Blue Madness, fans will be excited and full of optimism. They'll want to be ready on Friday if they want a first look at the team.
