Roland Garros tickets?

How do you buy tickets for RG? I haven't ever been to any major tournaments and thought would like to see RG or Wim this year but it looks like not so easy to get ticekts..

For Wimbledon, I did the daily queue back in 2016. I showed up at 6 AM on one of the weekdays in the first week and waited in a long, long line to get tickets onsite. 6 hours later, I was watching matches on court 8 from the 2nd row. I'm sure there are other ways to get tickets ahead of time, but my point is that it's possible to get in even on the same day, and I'm sure that's still the case given Wimbledon's traditions.

For the French Open, I understand that they don't sell tickets or grounds passes at the tournament grounds. Everything is sold online. And they have a somewhat complicated lottery system to buy the tickets ahead of time. The French is the one Slam I haven't been to yet. I went to Roland Garros to visit the site once, but not when the tournament was happening. I'm sure you'll be able to figure out how to get tickets online, or maybe someone else here can elaborate on their experiences.

I did the US Open in 2006, and bought tickets from the USTA (via TicketMaster) a few months ahead of time. The tickets were reasonable back then, but have gone up considerably now.

My favorite Slam I've attended has been the Australian Open. It feels like all of Australia loves tennis and everything is geared towards the tournament during that time. The tickets are relatively inexpensive and easy to get online, even on the same day.

I sprung for tickets through an (official) tour operator. Didn't have them provide anything but the tickets.

The general public window opens on March 31………your best bet is go to the RG (FFT SITE) and create an account.

Also around mid April many FFT members who get in early and bought tkts in Feb will post extras on the RG resale site.

Great thing is no scalping so aside from a small fee the tickets are sold at face value and 1000% real

I went a few years ago and followed the process Duroc described. After you get the account you will have to check periodically for the resales to pop up. You can also resell your ticket if plans change.
