I am a veteran; however, I sadly have drill this weekend. Can you call the Navy and get that moved?

Good on you, though. Awesome gesture.

We have a home station drill this weekend. I have already secured my tickets and hope to get out by 1800 so I can go.

Wish they had this a lil over a year ago. My father was a Vietnam vet and never seen a game in person. I think this is an awesome idea

So how does this work if you call them? What kind of proof do you have to have? I would hate to have to carry a DD Form 214 to a game. I got out of the Air Force back in 95 and that is about the only proof besides pictures I have.

Will be leaving for Lexington Saturday after I get released from drill also. Already purchased my ticket prior though. My vet friends have been informed about this opportunity!

I've heard that too but I am Active Reserve Guard and not a student and they reserved 4 tickets for me. I don't know why they aren't allowing all vets to receive these tickets.

If your a student you are eligible for student tickets. So this student/veteran thing really isn't helping those who are attending UK.

It could have been that word go out and the demand was too high. Don't know for sure, but that would make sense.

So you have to be a Student that is a Vet to get in Free....So all this Vets get in free talk was a crock of Bull Chit. UK pulling one over on Vets. SMH..:mad:

I started this post yesterday directly after reserving my tickets through the veterans center. They did ask if I was a student and I told them I was not. They confirmed name to be put on the list for tickets and I could pick them up at will call.

Whether the demand got too high for the tickets or what ever reason, UK has changed the SOP from yesterday to day. I am a veteran and currently serving on active duty with the national guard and I would never try to fool other veterans.

Although it would of been a good gesture sure, to be fair to the school they did offer this early in the year for New Mexico State. And very few of any took advantage.


Kentucky football’s annual Heroes Day will take place on Sept. 17. All active, reserve and veteran members of the armed forces along with police, firefighters and first responders will be honored at the event. UK Athletics is pleased to honor heroes by providing free tickets to service members.
