A new draw set up



The French Tennis Federation has announced that the drawing system for the sale of tickets for Roland-Garros to the general public has been renewed for the year 2026.

In 2025, the French Tennis Federation decided to set up a drawing system for the sale of tickets for Roland-Garros to the general public. This initiative was a success, and the FFT announced this Friday that it would be renewed. “This system, which reduces waiting time and guarantees fair access on the opening day of sales, makes it possible to better meet buyers’ expectations,” specifies the Federation.

Concretely, tennis fans will be able to register for the draw between December 3 and 17 on the official Roland-Garros platform. The draw, which will be supervised by a bailiff, will award fans with purchase slots allowing them to access the ticket office for the 2026 edition.

A limited number of tickets per person

Everyone registered during this period will, regardless of their registration date, have exactly the same chance of obtaining a ticket purchase slot, and the results of the draw will be sent by email before the end of February.

In order to make the tournament accessible to as many people as possible, the number of tickets per person will be limited to a maximum of 4 for the main courts as well as for the side courts from May 24 to 31, and to a maximum of 15 for the “Opening week” (qualifications and player training) as well as for the side courts from June 1 to 7, knowing that being drawn at random guarantees access to sales but not necessarily to obtaining the desired tickets.

700,000 tickets sold in 2025

Note that a sales phase will also take place at the end of March on the “first come, first served” principle, for the “Opening week” and for the last week on the annex courts, during which the junior matches, the Legends Trophy and the wheelchair tennis tournament are played. For the 2025 edition of Roland-Garros, around 700,000 tickets were sold in total, for an average price of 98 euros, but a quarter of the tickets cost less than 30 euros.
