Your Tickets

Your Preferred Seats at Roland Garros

Named after the famous French pilot who fought during World War I, and was the first pilot to fly over the Mediterranean Sea, Stade Roland Garros (Roland Garros Stadium) has always been home to the French Open. Constructed in 1928, this facility is 21-acres of sporting history.

Grounds

Also known as "Annexe Tickets," these are very popular as there are many great matches to enjoy throughout the tournament on the outside courts or "courts annexes." These French Open Grounds Passes will give you access to ALL the outside courts but DO NOT offer access to the stadiums: Phillipe Chatrier, Suzanne Lenglen, or Court 1. Seating is on a first come first served basis, so it's important to know where the matches you're interested in viewing will be taking place so you can get there as early as possible to secure seats. During the first week you can catch some great singles matches and as the tournament progresses there will primarily be main draw doubles, mixed doubles, and junior and senior matches played on the outside courts. In addition to the action on the courts you will be able to enjoy all the activity that Roland Garros has to offer including the Practice Courts, which are great for autographs; souvenir areas; food areas; and, of course the excitement in the "Place des Mousquetaires" where hundreds of fans congregate between Court 1 and Center Court Philippe Chatrier to watch the action taking place on the main show courts on the huge video screen.

Court Philippe Chatrier & Suzanne Lenglen

A ticket on Court Phillipe Chatrier or Suzanne Lenglen gives you a reserved seat for the entire day on that particular court with access to all the outside courts, but you don't have access to any of the other show courts including Court #1 (as each show court requires a separate ticket). If you have a ticket for the Phillipe Chatrier Court you cannot access the Suzanne Lenglen or Court 1 and vice versa. Both show courts (Phillipe Chatrier and Suzanne Lenglen) offer an absolutely equal level of entertainment and skill in their matches through Wednesday of the second week with top seeds such as Federer, Nadal, Djokovic, Ivanovic, Williams, etc. having been placed on the Suzanne Lenglen Court for their match. In 2009, for example, Rafael Nadal was placed on the Suzanne Lenglen court for his 2nd round match. From Thursday of the second week, through to the end of the tournament, all featured singles matches are played only on the Phillipe Chatrier Center Court and therefore all show court tickets from Thursday of the second week till the end of the tournament will only be on Court Philippe Chatrier. It is impossible to know which court a certain player will be placed on in advance as this is determined only the night before. The overall seating capacity on the Philippe Chatrier Court is 14,840.

Court Philippe Chatrier is divided into Category 1 and Category 2 seating. The Category 1 or Lower Level section on Center Court begins approximately 2 to 10 rows off the court depending on which section your ticket is in. The first couple of rows are occupied by Corporate "Loge Level" seats. Your Center Court ticket is valid for the entire day and gives you a reserved seat on Center Court and allows you to roam all the outside courts except the court Suzanne Lenglen and Court 1 which require a separate ticket for entry.
