French Open Tickets

One of the biggest tennis tournaments that are held in Paris, France is known formally as the Tournoi de Roland-Garros and informally as the French Open. Most people may know this tennis tourney more commonly by the latter name. (It has an even longer official name which is the Les Internationaux de France de Roland Garros but outside France that may not be so well known either.) As one of the Grand Slam tournaments, tennis games under the French Open are held on clay court surfaces in the Stade de Roland Garros. The clay courts make play slower than those held on other surfaces so games tend to be rather demanding in the French Open.

Ironically, some tennis players who excel in the clay court playing field of the French Open do not do so well on games on other surfaces, while some players who have triumphed over the tennis world (like fourteen-time Grand Slam winner Pete Sampras) perform miserably on clay courts. Pete Sampras has never won in the French Open because of this.

For the 2008 tennis tournament season, French Open tickets are among the most highly prized so if you intend to buy French Open tickets, buy them early. These are sure to be snatched up quickly by tennis fans who have probably been waiting a long time to get the chance to see these grueling tennis matches and their favorite tennis players up close and personal. (Some might even get lucky and be able to get autographs from and pictures taken with some well-known personalities in tennis.)

French Open tickets may either be for Court #1 (or the Suzanne Lenglen area); or the Center Court plus the external courts (also called the Philippe Chatrier Center Court.) For Center Court tickets, you can choose between the Lower Level/Category 1 area (which consists of section AB, section BB, section CB, and section DB) or the Upper Level/Category 2 (which is made up of section A, section B, and section D.) If you cannot get tickets to either the Court #1 area or the Center Court area, you can always opt for the Grounds Passes/Annexes tickets instead. (Unfortunately, this last type of tickets cannot give you access to Court #1 or the Center Court area; rather, you will be restricted to only the side courts.)

This 2008, the French Open organizers are breaking tradition by opting to hold the opening day on a Sunday instead of the usual Monday. This means that the French Open will be held over a total of three weekends – which may make demand for tickets higher and the tickets harder to come by than in previous years. So get your tickets as soon as you can before the supply runs out.
