Securing Your Spot at Roland-Garros 2025: A New Ticket System
Teh French Tennis Federation (FFT) is implementing a groundbreaking ticket sales system for the 2025 Roland-Garros tournament, scheduled from May 25th to June 8th. This change comes in response to the soaring demand for tickets from tennis enthusiasts worldwide.
To ensure a fair and equitable prospect for all fans, the FFT will be conducting a random draw.
Registering for the Draw
from January 27th to February 9th, eager fans can register for the draw on the official Roland-garros ticket website. Every registrant, regardless of when they sign up during this period, will have an equal chance of being selected.
transparency and fairness
The FFT aims to create a more obvious and equitable ticket purchasing experience. This new system is designed to:
Promote Fairness: The draw eliminates the need for frantic online queues and ensures everyone has a genuine shot at securing tickets.
Reduce Wait Times: By eliminating the traditional rush for tickets,the FFT hopes to minimize frustrating wait times on the online platform.
Combat Fraud: The draw system is intended to deter fraudulent activity and the use of automated “bots” that unfairly snatch up tickets.
A neutral third party, a bailiff, will oversee the draw process. Participants will be notified of the results in early March. Those selected will then have access to a dedicated purchase window later in the month.
ticket Limits for Enhanced Accessibility
To further increase accessibility to the tournament, the FFT has introduced ticket purchase limits.Fans can now purchase a maximum of:
4 tickets for the main courts throughout the tournament.
4 tickets for the annex courts from May 25th to June 1st.
15 tickets for “Opening Week” and the additional courts from June 2nd to 8th.
These measures aim to ensure that more fans have the opportunity to experience the thrill of Roland-Garros.
