Properly I made a decision particular person package deal. It was solely accessible for importation from March 11 of this yr at 10 am Paris time (6 am Brasilia time). You need to concentrate! Tickets on the official web site promote out in minutes!!!
Entry the web site early within the morning! The ultimate order is shaped earlier than the stipulated time to open it for import. All you need to do is enter the web site, a message will seem informing you of how many individuals there are in entrance of you and the calm time to have the ability to log in with out logging in. Essential! Don’t refresh the web page. Or they'll ship you to the again of the road.
In my case, I entered the web site 10 minutes earlier than the scheduled begin of gross sales and there have been already 10 thousand individuals in entrance of me, behind course. That's proper! 10,000 individuals!!!! I virtually went loopy pondering I couldn't purchase it…
Fortunately, since every particular person can solely purchase 4 tickets, I obtained mine!! Purchase the multi-day passes for the semifinals for 275 euros, each days.

Tickets are solely bought on the official web site. There is no such thing as a ticket workplace within the space. And resellers are prohibited! The ticket is nominative and should be offered on the subsequent entrance with an identification doc.
One other web site the place you should purchase Roland Garros tickets is Viagogo, a certified ticket resale web site. Solely these tickets can be found to those that purchased them and, for some motive, wish to promote them. Is it the value? It’s the identical as what the particular person paid on the official web site. Anyway, it’s the second alternative for individuals who weren’t in a position to purchase beforehand on the official web site.
Earlier than going to the video games
Properly, after this complete import course of, the large day has arrived!
Earlier than going to the video games, pack a survival package. Ultimately, you’ll spend the entire day there (it begins at 11 within the morning and ends who is aware of what time… It is dependent upon the problem of the video games).
What do I like to recommend taking?
– water bottle (as much as 1L). There are sources to fulfill
– sandwiches and snacks (All the things could be very inflated there. So make your sandwich or purchase a ready-made snack from the market earlier than you go. I additionally had a salad, purchased in The Nice Epicery. It was highly regarded and the salad turned out very effectively.
– cap or hat
– sunscreen (face and physique)
– darkish goggles
– sarong or towel (if it rains, you’ll have to cowl your seat with parchment. If the solar is scorching, it’s used to guard you from the solar)
– amparo – (it’s in depth there and the climate can change shortly)
– your mobile phone with the official app downloaded
– tickets, photograph identification and bank card used to import
It’s not allowed to just accept these entangled with a laptop computer, tripod or selfie stick. There’s a locker to depart your issues there.
win on the event extension
The measure is a wonderful possibility. That is how many of the household arrives on the Roland Garros occasion. Use the line 9: Council of Montreuil – Pont de Sèvres (farms however near Michel-Ange Auteuil or Michel-Ange Molitor) or a line 10: Gare d'Austerlitz – Boulogne (closest however close by places: Porte d'Auteuil or Boulogne Jean-Jaurès).
From the measurement section to the principle gate it’s only 10 minutes on foot. Keep in mind to purchase the subsequent return ticket with the one-way ticket. In any other case, it’s going to develop moldy inside a kilometer of its tail. All of them come out of the tangle on the identical time…
How the Roland Garros tangle works
Upon getting into the entanglement, you will see that the big Roland Garros Boutique. There you will see that all kinds of souvenirs, together with the well-known Panama hat. For those who spend greater than 175 euros on importation, now you can request the taxes devolution proper there within the mess. Due to this fact, remember to settle for the passport from him. The passport is used for each entry and taxes devolution.
There are nonetheless different shops scattered across the complicated, resembling Adidas and Lacoste.
One other fascinating possibility is Tennis Museum, with free communication for anybody who watches the video games. It's well worth the appointment!
The video games
Properly, after touring the stadium, which by the best way is sort of magnificent, it's time to enter the sector to observe the video games.
In my case, I watched the next matches: Safarova x Iavanovich, Serena x Basinski, Muray x Djoko and Wawrinka x Tsonga. They have been all video games!!! Besides Serena who ran over her opponent…
For individuals who didn’t get entry…
Even if you happen to don't have tickets, you possibly can benefit from the expertise and pleasure of Roland Garros at The March Discipline, the place they put in a mega display screen to broadcast the video games. The look is wonderful! You keep on the grass watching the video games proper on the foot of the Eiffel Tower.
I watched the ladies's ultimate there on the grass. However the males's ultimate was unattainable… the extension was tremendous carried out!!! Once I arrived there was now not any space left within the solar, a lot much less within the shade… And look, it was about 35 levels!!!
The choice was to return to the ground and watch the lads's ultimate on tv. There, native channels broadcast the video games. There is no such thing as a scarcity of cable tv.
Another choice is to observe the video games on the big display screen positioned contained in the entanglement. To do that, all you need to do is purchase a ticket for the out of doors courts and watch it on the large display screen. I don't know if it's full. In any case, this ticket could be very modest.
That was my expertise. I appreciated it a lot that I plan to return subsequent yr! It's like combining enterprise with pleasure: Paris + Roland Garros. How can he not style you? 🙂
