Derby Tickets, Inc. began in 1987 alongside our parent company, Tickets For Less, with a single conviction: that service comes first. Based in the Louisville area, we work hand in hand with the people who hold the most sought-after seats at Churchill Downs.
Our partners bring more than fifty years of combined Derby experience and an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau we have never let slip. From a single grandstand seat to a full Millionaire's Row weekend, we arrange every detail ourselves.

Every order is backed by our guarantee — authentic seats, confirmed and waiting for you.
Insider access since 1987
Decades of relationships with Churchill Downs sources put the hardest seats within reach.

In their words
Rated A+ by the Better Business Bureau, with hundreds of five-star Kentucky Derby Weekends since 1987.
“Patrick and his team upgraded our seats and handled every detail — the hotel, the paddock, the car after the last race. The most seamless Derby weekend we have ever had.”
“We have booked through Derby Tickets six years running. Confirmation is instant, the seats are exactly as promised, and the concierge thinks of everything before we do.”
“Our first Derby, and they made us feel like regulars. Clubhouse seats, dinner reservations, and a host on call all weekend. We are already planning next year.”
“From the box seats to the julep in my hand, everything was handled. I have never felt so looked after at a sporting event.”
“Our group of twelve had suites, transport, and dinner reservations all coordinated without a single hiccup. Truly white-glove service.”
“Tickets were confirmed within minutes and waiting exactly where promised. Six Derbies now, and never once a worry.”
