French Open 2008 Tickets

A general view of a French Open matchFor those of you wanting to sample the unique atmosphere at the French Open, there are a couple of avenues through which to purchase tickets; direct from the organisers or from a third party company.

Due to the high demand, you will have to reserve your tickets months before they are actually available. To stake you claim, you will need to complete either an original reservation form or a photocopied version. The applications are handled on a first-come, first-serve basis. If your chosen day is fully booked, a reimbursement cheque will be sent made out to the name and address on the form. Reservation forms for tickets can be obtained from a couple of sources:

The Roland Garros Stadium 2, avenue Gordon Benett 75016 Paris France

or

The Booking Office B.P. 333-16 75767 Paris Cedex 16

Unsold tickets are available from the stadium itself 8 days before the tournament starts. third party ticket vendors

There are numerous firms that sell tickets for tournaments such as the French Open. Many operate via the Internet, and will take orders for tickets at any time. Despite this convinience, please bear in mind that they will only send your tickets when they receive them from the organisers which is generally a few weeks before the start of the event.

If you do choose to purchse over the web, the usual advice applies. Ensure that when giving credit/debit card details, the site is being served securely. This can be done by looking for 'https' in the address bar, and for a padlock at the bottom of your browser window. Check that the firm provide a offline address and telephone number, so that you can contact them in the event of any problems. ticket types and prices
