Discover the ticket office
Buying Through the Official Resale Platform
Secure Platform
An official resale platform allows spectators to resell their tickets safely.
Avoid Scams
Never buy from suspicious websites. Fake tickets circulate every year.
Tips for maximising your chances
Be ready on the day
Log in 30 minutes before the ticket office opens. Use several devices if possible to maximise your chances of being the first to access the ticket office.
Be flexible
A Tuesday may be more accessible than a Saturday, and one stadium may be less in demand than another. If you are flexible about the date and location, you increase your chances of finding a ticket.
Internet connection
A stable connection is essential. Avoid public Wi-Fi.
Payment methods
Have your bank card ready and check your credit limit. There is nothing worse than a payment being declined at the last minute.
Practical Advice to Enjoy the Tournament
- Arrive early: security checks take time. Take advantage of this to explore the stands.
- Choose your court: sometimes the smaller courts offer spectacular matches without the crowds.
- Check the match schedule regularly: schedules often change, so keep an eye on the screens or the official app to stay informed of any changes.
- Download the official app: live scores, practical information and alerts about program changes.
- Plan for the weather and comfort: hat, sunscreen, sunglasses, light jacket or raincoat depending on the day.
- Find shaded areas: some stands are very exposed in the afternoon.
- Hydration and snacks: there are often long queues at the refreshment stands, so bring water if permitted.
- Quick payment: use contactless card or mobile payment to avoid waiting.
- Visit the shop early: popular items sell out quickly.
Conclusion
Getting a ticket for Roland-Garros 2026 is not impossible. It’s a mix of preparation, strategy, and speed. Create your account early, monitor the dates, participate in the lottery, and stay flexible.
With a little anticipation, you might find yourself in the stands, right at the heart of the action.

FAQ
1- Can you buy more tickets depending on the period of the tournament?
Yes! The maximum number of tickets available per person varies depending on the period of the tournament:
- Up to 4 tickets max for the main courts (such as Philippe-Chatrier and Suzanne-Lenglen).
- Up to 15 tickets max per person for Opening Week (qualifying rounds and first days).
- Up to 4 or 15 tickets max depending on the dates and the outside courts (depending on the phase of the tournament).
This helps open access to a greater number of people while organizing the available seats.
2- Do these limits apply to all sales phases?
Yes: ticket limits per person apply regardless of the type of sale (draw or general public sale). Whether you buy during the draw or during the sale open to everyone, these limits are fixed for each category and period.
3- If I am selected in the draw, can I buy more tickets than others?
No! Even if you are selected in the draw to access the ticket office, the maximum number of tickets per person remains the same for everyone: for example 4 for certain courts and 15 for other periods. Being selected in the draw simply gives you the possibility to buy, but not larger quotas.
4- Do reserved tickets count toward these limits?
Yes! Regardless of the category or session (main courts, outside courts, Opening Week), all tickets purchased under your account are counted within the same quota. If you reach the maximum allowed for a category, you will not be able to buy more under the same name.
5- Are there exceptions to the limits (e.g. VIP, packs or packages)?
Generally no for standard tickets: limits apply to standard tickets purchased via the official ticket office. Some premium offers or VIP packages may be handled differently (in specific categories), but for regular tickets accessible to the public, these limits remain in force.
