Louisville, KY, September 25, 2026 —

University of Kentucky Police are issuing a public warning to football fans regarding an uptick in ticket scams. The alert comes in the wake of the Kentucky football team’s recent victory over Texas A&M, an upset win that has subsequently increased demand for game tickets.

Authorities are advising fans to exercise caution when attempting to purchase tickets, particularly through unofficial or secondary markets. The increased demand following a significant win often creates an environment where fraudulent sellers can target unsuspecting buyers.

Specific details regarding the number of reported scams or the methods employed by scammers were not immediately available. However, the general advice from law enforcement emphasizes vigilance in verifying the legitimacy of ticket sources. The University of Kentucky Police Department has not provided specific names of individuals or entities involved in scam operations.

Fans seeking to attend upcoming games are encouraged to prioritize purchasing tickets through official channels or reputable resale platforms. While the exact timeline for the increase in scam reports has not been detailed, the warning is being issued proactively to prevent potential financial losses for attendees. The specific financial impact of these scams, such as average loss amounts per victim, was not disclosed.

Further information or specific guidelines for safe ticket purchasing are expected to be released by the University of Kentucky Police Department. The university has not announced any specific new measures beyond the advisory warning.
