Kentucky-Vanderbilt game sold out as Wildcats open 6-1 and tie Georgia for SEC lead
After a 21-13 win over Oklahoma in Norman, Kentucky is 6-1 and tied with Georgia atop the Southeastern Conference, and the next matchup with Vanderbilt at home is drawing a sold-out crowd.
Kentucky’s upcoming football game against Vanderbilt is sold out, WKYT reported, as students and fans celebrate the Wildcats’ 6-1 start and a tie for first place in the Southeastern Conference.
The run of results followed Kentucky’s 21-13 victory over Oklahoma on Saturday night in Norman. With that win, Kentucky moved to 6-1 overall and, according to WKYT, tied Georgia for the SEC’s top spot heading into the next week.

The report tied the Wildcats’ momentum to the Oklahoma win and emphasized that Kentucky’s position in the SEC standings has heightened interest in the matchup against Vanderbilt.
Kentucky’s 6-1 record and the SEC first-place tie with Georgia are the primary standings drivers cited in the coverage, along with the outcome of the Oklahoma game that put the Wildcats back into the conference conversation at the top.
With the Vanderbilt game already marked as sold out, any additional ticket availability, entry procedures, or game-day adjustments would be expected to be managed by Kentucky’s athletics department and venue operations, though WKYT did not detail those steps in the coverage.
