How to buy 2014 French Open tickets
Except for qualifiers, there are no ticket sales at the stadium itself before or during tournament. All bookings have to be made before the event. The tickets sell out really fast, so you better be prepared.
The events
Qualifiers – 20 to 23 May
Tickets for the stadium during the qualifiers give the bearer access to the entire public area within the stadium. Courts 6 to 18 have unreserved seating and are open to all. Court Suzanne Lenglen is also open to all spectators to watch players from the main draw practising before the tournament starts.
Roland Garros Kids’ Day – 24 May
Roland Garros Kids’ Day is a charity event, devoted to fund raising for charitable organisations. On Kids’ Day, exhibition matches are scheduled on the three main courts, with plenty of other activities and practice sessions on the other courts and throughout the stadium.
French Open – 25 May to 8 June
Follow our 2014 French Open coverage on Tennis Buzz.
Legends Trophy
The Legends Trophy (Trophée des Légendes) brings together twenty-four of history’s greatest champions, grouped according to age in the two men’s draws, and twelve former women’s tennis stars. It is a great opportunity to watch some former champions play in a friendly and funny atmosphere.
Matches are played on court 1 and court Suzanne Lenglen during the second week of the French Open.
Wheelchair tennis tournament
The wheelchair tennis tournament is held on courts 7, 9 and 11 during the second week of the French Open.
All wheelchair tennis matches can be watched by holders of outside courts tickets.
The courts
Court Philippe Chatrier
Court Philippe Chatrier was built in 1928 as Roland Garros’s centerpiece and remains its principal venue, seating 14,840 spectators. The stadium was known simply as “Court Central” until 1998, when it was renamed for Philippe Chatrier, the long-time president of the Fédération Française de Tennis (FFT) who helped restore tennis as a Summer Olympics sport in 1988.
Court Suzanne Lenglen
The secondary Roland Garros stadium with a capacity of 10,068 spectators, the court Suzanne Lenglen was built in 1994. Suzanne Lenglen, born in 1899, was the first female tennis celebrity and one of the first international female sport stars, named La Divine (the divine one) by the French press.
Court One
Nicknamed the “Bullring” because of its circular shape – is a favorite among serious tennis fans because of its relatively small size ( 3,800 seats) and feeling of close proximity to the action.
Outside courts
Courts 2, 3 and 7 are the main outside courts and have been the scene of some stunning French Open upsets in the past. In the early rounds of the tournament, outside courts are also the place to be to watch the top players practicing (check out my pics of Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer, Maria Sharapova and Sam Stosur at practice).
Tickets for courts Philippe Chatrier, Suzanne Lenglen and one give access to the outside courts. On main show courts you will be assigned an allocated seat for the whole day. On the outside courts, seating is on a first come first served basis, there is no allocated seat.

Hi there! Would you recommend to choose cat.1 ticket over cat.2 or cat.3? Can you see better, or do you feel the action better if you’re closer? 🙂 It would be my first time attending Roland Garros, so, any advise is certainly appreciated. Thanks.
Hi Iona,
Of course with cat 1 you’re closer to the courts, but it’s more expensive.
Good luck for you tickets
RG’s PC / SL courts are quite cozy compared to US Open’s Arthur Ashe. They are more like Louis Armstrong. But, any category is good, in my opinion 🙂
I decided for cat. 2 and 3, in the end. Got the tickets. Thanks for the tips, both of you. See you there!:)
Great! Which days will you go?
I bought individual all day tickets for the main court for the 3rd, 4th, 6th and 8th (quarter-finals, semi-finals and final).
Hello.
I’ve got tickets for the single’s men finale cat2 Sunday 8 June.
Do you think this website sells legitimate tickets?
http://m.tennistours.com/
@Xing yes they do
Thanks ludmilla! They just charge outrageous service fees. Do you think it’s a good idea to wait until match days for tickets to become available in viagogo? Will there be good chances to get (cheaper) tickets then?
Can’t help you, what type of tix do you want to buy? Chatrier, Lenglen, Court 1, outside courts?
Is there something left on the official website?
Only the VIPs are left. Is http://tennisticketservice.com also legit? I’m just curious why their individual tickets are so expensive – are they not sold on face value? I want Chatrier tickets 🙁

Hello,
I am desperate for men’s finals tickets. I have promised my GF and cannot back off.
Can anyone direct me somewhere somehow???
I really need 2 tickets. and I’m scared to buy them from tennis tours.com or any other website because i am not sure they r legitimate.
thanks for any help!
If I get “outside courts” on June 4 of Quarter finals days- would I likely see those players practicing or not? What would I see?
If I buy tix for Quarter finals day does that allow me to be there during during the day and evening to see the matches played only on the specific court the tix are for?
What if it rains- are there rain checks for next day or do you iu just miss tennis?
Thanks for your help!
Panagiotis…I only need one. How much for one?
@Mamma if you get outside tickets for the 4th of June, you’ll see practices, juniors matches, seniors matches and wheelchair tennis. Here’s the schedule : http://www.rolandgarros.com/en_FR/about/schedule.html
Quarterfinals are played on court Chartrier and court Lenglen, so if you’ve got Chatrier tix, you’ll see Chatrier + outside courts. If you’ve got Lenglen, you’ll see Lenglen + outside courts.
There is no evening session at Roland Garros.
If it rains, it rains, no tennis.
@Youssef you should try Viagogo

Hey.
I will be in Paris for the 2nd week for French Open and keen to see Federers quarter final on the 03 June.
Can anyone help me know whether is will be played on Philippe-Chatrier or Suzanne-Lenglen? And if anyone has any spare tickets (two)?
Cheers
I ve 2 extra tickets for the FINAL on June 7th.
It s good seats : category 2.
Price: 250€/ticket
if you are interested you can contact me by email : fanapple33@gmail.com
Thanks
@Matt, the schedule of play is released the evening before so nobody can tell you now where Federer will play.
@ludmilla, Cheers – I understand. He would usually be shoe-in for the Philippe-Chatrier but Djokovic should also be playing that day. Makes it hard to buy tickets in advance.
Also – anyone with 2 x men’s semifinal tickets also on the 06 June?
@Matt: if a French player (Simon or Tsonga) reaches the 1/4, he will play on Chatrier, so Federer would play on Lenglen

Hello All passionate Tennis/French Open Fans,
Am hoping to fulifill a real life-dream and see tennis at Roland Garros this year, with the target for the SemiFinals Mens for June 5th. By the time I got through in the virtual que this morning, no individual tickets left, and am kicking myself as I hesitated for a couple mintues to get the only option for Cat. 3 Men’s and Ladies Semifinal and saw (paired/2) tickets vanish before my eyes.
Am trying to be proactive to identify anyone who ends up realizing they have extra tickets for this day/event. My wife and I wlll be endlessly appreciative.
Thanks in advance
