French open 2017

We are planning to go to the French open in 2017. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how to get reasonable tickets. for the Australian and the US open we just got ground passes which was very easy and reasonably priced. thanks

I'm a tennis fan and therefore very envious of your trip.

Here is a link I found helpful:

It's a good place to start.

Hope the weather is better in 2017!

This year it is becoming easier and easier to get tickets just by walking up due to all of the rain. Today, every single match was cancelled due to the incessant downpour.

A roof won't be built until 2020.

i would guess that as with Wimbledon, first week tickets are easier to get than second, though the outside courts can be good towards the end of the tournament as everyone wants to see the show courts.

Good luck!

I keep looking for a way to see Big Tennis (but it hasn't happened yet). One thing I have read about Roland Garros is that many people buy grounds passes, so it can get very crowded, but that getting tickets for actual seats -- in the early rounds -- isn't so difficult.

I hope you go and have a great time.

In the first week watching it on TV, I saw plenty of empty seats in the stands.
