  4. How do the Kentucky ticket resale laws affect my purchase from DerbyTravel?

    DerbyTravel.com operates 100% within full letter of the law as it concerns resale ticket policies.

    1. We have an Indiana office in which all local transactions are conducted. Indiana laws allow for the resale of tickets above face value.
    2. All web site transactions are processed through our servers and processor's  in fully legal states and jurisdictions.
    3. A large portion of our sales are "packages", which include other services such as transportation, lodging, gifts, restaurant reservations, information, etc. Such customers are still able to purchase tickets through DerbyTravel.com as an event package offering.  We will fax you a confirmation letter stating that you are buying an event package, not only tickets. Simply fax a signed copy of the letter back to us and we'll ship your tickets.

    Note that similar laws apply in other states and the same type of arrangements may be necessary. We operate within the letter of the law.
