Where will my seats be located?
We have many options for seating at Roland-Garros, including Loge and Category 1 seating on Center Court Philippe-Chatrier. Please refer to the map below for approximate seat locations. Hospitality spaces, including L'Orangerie, La Mezzanine, Salon Legende, Le Pavillon, and Club Chatrier accompany our seats. Check out our Hospitality Page for more information.
What does my Philippe-Chatrier ticket include?
Your Philippe-Chatrier ticket includes your reserved seat on Center Court Philippe-Chatrier, and your designated hospitality. Additionally, your ticket allows you to attend matches on all outside courts (except Suzanne-Lenglen Court) which have first-come, first-serve seating. Court Simon-Mathieu is ticketed in the lower bowl, but has open seating in the upper bowl.
Do you sell Suzanne-Lenglen tickets?
We sell a limited number of Suzanne-Lenglen tickets. To learn more or inquire about availability, please reach out by email or phone.
What does my Suzanne-Lenglen ticket include?
Suzanne-Lenglen Court will give you a reserved seat for the entire day on that court, with access to all the outside courts except Center Court (Philippe-Chatrier), which is fully ticketed.
No, grounds passes can only be purchased in the official Roland-Garros ballot.
Admission is free for children under 4 but they will not have a reserved seat.
Airfare is not included in our packages. We wrote a blog post on booking your flights since it’s the easiest and cheapest way to get your airfare.
How do we get from the hotel to the tournament grounds?
Our travel packages include roundtrip transportation from The Hotel Bel Ami. Coach buses will take you to the venue at conveniently scheduled times daily. Transfers take approximately 30 minutes, depending on traffic.
Who will I meet at the Welcome Dinner?
The welcome dinner is an excellent opportunity to get to know your fellow travelers; we’ve had many friendships (and even a few marriages) sparked on our tours. You may also meet a special tennis guest. Some of our past guests include top players Caroline Garcia, Reilly Opelka, and the Bryan Brothers, as well as Hall of Famers Tracy Austin and Fred Stolle. This is also a great time to connect with your tour hosts.
Is travel insurance available?
Travel insurance is an option, and providers recognize our invoices. However, we recommend thoroughly understanding what they will and will not cover. GSTT Trip Protection is also available, allowing you to cancel your trip for any reason up to two weeks before the event's start date. Check out the full details of our Trip Protection in our Booking Policy.
Does my hospitality choice give me an assigned seat?
Yes, each hospitality corresponds to a particular seat location on Court Phillipe-Chatrier. If you have a seat location preference, please give us a call!
What does my hospitality include?
Each hospitality has beverages, including beer, wine, soft drinks, and select cocktails served throughout the day. Each hospitality has lunch service from 12-2 PM, and a dinner service from 6:45-8 PM. Please note that the lunch is included with your day ticket; the dinner is included with your night ticket. For more details about the food served at your hospitality, please refer to our Hospitality Page, and see below. You will also have a private coat room and bathroom in your hospitality area.

What type of food will I enjoy at Roland-Garros?
Sample Menu, L’Orangerie hospitality, 2026:
Can I take a drink from my hospitality space to my seat?
No, drinks will be provided in glassware in your designated hospitality space, and you will not be able to roam the grounds with your glass. You may fill a water bottle at your hospitality space, or purchase other beverages on the grounds.
What is the Signature package?
With our Signature Package, you’ll pay a discounted price for a mix of ticket and hospitality options, with Grand Slam Tennis Tours selecting the best available ticket and hospitality spaces on your behalf.
When will I receive my tickets?
Your tickets will be emailed to you one week before the tournament begins.
Will Grand Slam Tennis Tours have a representative in Paris?
With our Signature Package, you’ll pay a discounted price for a mix of ticket and hospitality options, with Grand Slam Tennis Tours selecting the best available ticket and hospitality spaces on your behalf.
All four major tournaments have retractable roofs as of 2020! So, if you have a ticket to Philippe-Chatrier or Suzanne-Lenglen, you’ll only have to wait a few minutes while they close the roof. Other courts will still be at the mercy of the weather so some matches may be moved to the show courts or delayed. The red clay surface also permits play through light rain.
What time is my favorite player playing next year?
Great question and one we receive often. The draw is only released a few days before the tournament, and the order of play is only published the evening before the match. So, if there’s a specific player you’d like to see, we recommend buying 2 consecutive days of tickets, to give yourself the best chance of catching them! However, we can't know the exact time and court until the day before the match.
What can I bring into the tournament?
Only bags 15 liters (16 to 18 inches high, 11 to 12 inches wide, and 5 to 7 inches deep) or less capacity will be allowed inside. All other bags and forbidden items are prohibited unless you leave them at the luggage desk outside the stadium before the controlled entry point to your gate. In general, as long as your bag can fit underneath your seat, you’re good to go!
What do I need to bring with me to the stadium?
You will need to bring your photo ID with you to the stadium that matches the name printed on your ticket. When you receive your tickets, please verify that the name printed on the ticket matches the attendee's name on your ID.
When can I enter the tournament?
The Roland-Garros gates open at 10 a.m.
Please check the Schedule of Play for tentative match start times.
How many matches will I watch for each session?
For the day session, there will be 3 matches played on Court Phillipe-Chatrier. For the night session, there is just 1 match played.
Why is the night session only 1 match?
The night session at Roland-Garros features the marquee match up of the day. The match is usually a men's singles match or the best match of the day. In 2026 one of the night sessions featured an amazing match between Osaka and Sabalenka.
No, re-entry is not allowed.
Can I bring food to the tournament?
Yes, you can bring food into the tournament. However, alcohol and sharp cutlery are not permitted.
What is the dress code at Roland-Garros?
Smart casual wear is recommended. For walking around the grounds, make sure to wear clothes you feel comfortable moving around in. Please refrain from wearing flip-flops, ragged jeans, dirty sneakers, or sports shorts.
Do I need a visa to travel to France?
Possibly! The new ETIAS will be rolled out in late 2026, so we’ll keep an eye on the requirements. Please make sure that your passport is up to date.
What's the weather like in Paris?
The temperature in Paris is usually around 65–75ºF during the day and cooler at night. Please check the weather forecast leading up to your trip as the weather is sometimes unpredictable.
