Get ready for the ultimate tennis experience at Roland-Garros 2026! But here's the catch: it's not just about who's the fastest to click.
The official ticketing system for Roland-Garros has undergone a successful trial run in 2025, and it's all about fairness and accessibility. Designed to reduce long wait times and prevent unauthorized access, this system is a game-changer for tennis fans worldwide.
The Ticket Draw: Your Chance to Attend Roland-Garros 2026
From Wednesday, December 3rd, to Wednesday, December 17th, you can enter the ticket draw on the official Roland-Garros ticketing website. It's a simple process, but one that could grant you access to the prestigious tournament.
Here's how it works:
Registration: Visit the official website (https://tickets.rolandgarros.com/en) anytime during the 15-day period. Make sure you register for the draw, and keep an eye on your email inbox (and spam folder) for further instructions.
The Draw Process: The draw will be conducted under the supervision of a judicial officer, ensuring a fair and transparent selection process.
Notification: If you're one of the lucky ones, you'll receive an email notification a few days before your designated purchase window opens in late February.
Purchase Window: If selected, you'll have the opportunity to purchase tickets during your allocated time slot. Remember, this doesn't guarantee you'll get the specific tickets you want, but it does ensure you have a chance to buy.
But here's where it gets controversial...
While this system ensures a fair chance for all, it also restricts the number of tickets each buyer can purchase. This means more people get a chance to attend, but it also limits the number of tickets one person can buy.
For example, you can purchase a maximum of:
- 4 tickets for the show courts
- 4 tickets for the outside courts from May 24th to 31st
- 15 tickets for Opening Week (including Yannick Noah Day) and for the outside courts from June 1st to 7th
And this is the part most people miss...
There's another opportunity to get your hands on tickets! At the end of March, there will be a second phase of ticket sales on a first-come, first-served basis for Opening Week and the outside courts during the second week of the main draw. This is your chance to witness the qualifying rounds up close, see the tennis stars in action during open practice, and experience the excitement of wheelchair tennis, junior tournaments, and the Trophée des Légendes by Emirates.
So, mark your calendars for December 3rd to 17th to enter the draw, and keep an eye out for the end of March sales!
