www.epsomderby.co.uk/ is the Racecourse website. You can buy tickets here.
I am not sure if tickets will be available on the day as Derby Day usually sells out. You can phone the Racecourse though to find out or reserve tickets to pick up

Good luck Queen's horse is favourite for the Derby should be a good race!

Last time I went to the Derby I didn't buy tickets. The central part of the course is public land and you can cross into it (between races) and watch from there. You don't have access to loos or food or anything though. It is quite a while since I have been so it may have changed.

You can buy tickets in advance for the Grandstand for 45 pounds each.

There are cheaper areas to the side of the grandstand or opposite the Queen's Stand for around 25 pounds each.

I would suggest buying on line rather than just turning up although there will be options if you do that.

Queen's Stand often sells out. This is about 100 pounds and you have to wear morning dress in there but i imagine the Grandstand would suit you fine.

Should be a great day with the Royal favourite - Carlton House - as well as the usual bunch of top class horses from Ballydoyle. Sadly Frankel will be waiting for Royal Ascot though.

Have a great time!
