Tickets

There are two ways you can obtain tickets for the 2025 French Open and they are by purchasing them from the official Roland Garros website or purchasing tickets from one of the official French Open agencies.

1. Official Roland Garros Website

Purchasing your tickets directly from the official Roland Garros website is the easiest and most cost-effective way of getting your tickets for the 2025 tournament in Paris.

Tickets generally go on sale to the public about two months before the start of the tournament.

I would recommend that you have a website account set up beforehand so there are no delays when it comes time to purchase your tickets.

When you gain access to the ticketing system you will have the option of buying a ticket for one of the main show courts (Phillippe Chatrier, Suzanne Lenglen, and Simonne-Mathieu) or a ground pass that gives you access to all the outside courts.

The cheaper option is the ground pass but you are unlikely to be able to watch some of the bigger names in tennis on the outside courts.

However, you can get lucky as some matches on the show courts that are delayed for some reason e.g. rain, can end up being played on one of the outside courts on the following day.

This happened to me when I visited the French Open in 2019 when a match between Dimitrov and Wawrinka was moved to one of the outside courts and I was able to watch a set between two of the bigger names in tennis.

2. Approved French Open Agencies

If you have a slightly bigger budget to spend on your visit to the French Open, you can choose one of the many hospitality packages offered by approved French Open Agencies.

Information on hospitality packages is usually available on the official Roland Garros website around three months before the start of the tournament.

Where to stay?

Paris has many excellent options when it comes to local transport so it is easy enough to get to Roland Garros (or “RG”) from most parts of the city with the closest Métro stations being Porte d’Auteuil (north of RG) and Michel-Ange–Molitor (Southeast of RG).

However, if you want to stay close to RG, we would recommend the below hotel options.

Molitor Paris – The Molitor Paris Hotel is a luxury 5-star hotel that is a short 1-minute walk away from RG.

Hotel Poussin – If you are looking for a more budget option for a hotel near RG then Hotel Poussin is a good option.

Tips for First Time Visitors to Roland Garros

Don’t feel like you need to stay close to Roland Garros – Unlike Wimbledon, you don’t have to queue to get tickets so there is no real advantage to staying in a hotel close to Roland Garros as Paris has good transport links and it is easy to get to a metro within about a 10-minute walk of the Roland Garros complex.

Food and Drink – When I visited Roland Garros in 2019, I was surprised at how expensive the food and drinks were in comparison to bars and restaurants elsewhere around Paris so I would recommend that you have a big breakfast so you don’t have to spend as much once you are inside the Roland Garros complex.

Aim to attend the Championships in the first week – If you opt to buy a ground pass into Roland Garros, then I would recommend going in the first week of the tournament as you have a better chance of seeing some of the top tennis players playing in some of the outside courts with a ground pass in the first week.

If you have a ground pass in the second week, there will be less play on the smaller courts and you are more likely to see men’s, women’s, and mixed doubles being played on the outside courts as the majority of the singles play will be on Phillippe Chatrier, Suzanne Lenglen, and Simonne-Mathieu show courts.
