LEXINGTON, Ky. – Specially priced $10 tickets to Kentucky’s game vs. Mississippi State will be available to UK football fans in Eastern Kentucky on Thursday afternoon.

Originally announced by Eastern Kentucky native Kash Daniel in a video posted on social media, a cash-only flash sale will take place in Daniel’s hometown of Paintsville, Kentucky, on Thursday beginning at 4 p.m. Tickets specially priced at $10 apiece will be on sale at the lower parking lot at Walmart (470 N Mayo Trail, Paintsville, KY 41240) until 7 p.m. or while supplies last. There will be a limit of 20 tickets per person and only cash will be accepted.

“To everybody in the 606, I want to thank you guys for supporting me in every aspect you possibly have this season,” Daniel said. “But this Saturday, we need your support more than ever. … It would mean a lot to me. I know it would mean a lot to my teammates if Eastern Kentucky showed up really loud and proud.”

UK’s game vs. Mississippi State will kick off at 7 p.m. on Saturday at Kroger Field. Tickets are still available to the public at UKFootballTix.com.

Additionally, as part of Teacher Appreciation Day at Kroger Field, teachers are invited to purchase $26 tickets to the game by visiting UKathletics.com/eyft. Teachers who purchase will receive a unique referral link they can share with friends, family and coworkers. Groups using the same referral link will automatically be seated together. This offer is valid online only prior to the game.

Most local school districts have already registered for their teachers to have access to this offer. Teachers from registered districts can enter their official school email address to buy $26 tickets.
