Anyone ever been to the French Open, and if so, can you let me know how does one go about getting tickets? My dad really wants to go next year, but I'm having trouble figuring out how the ticket stuff works.

Any info anyone has would be super duper helpful. My dad's been talking about it for years and seems keener than ever, so I'd like to get him tickets otherwise it will just be another year of talking about it...

Thank you! :mrgreen:

    Tickets are available for all dates and range from $200-$4000.
    Goggle French open tickets or Vivid Seats

    What's the official site to get tickets? And what's Vivid Seats, is that a broker site or is it like Ticketmaster?

    For example, I go to the US Open ever year. I buy my seats through USOpen.org that is run by the USTA. Is there a French equivalent?

    Thanks.

    When I google French Open tix, all I seem to find are broker sites . The tickets must bought the first day and then sold through brokers for huge profits. Seems to happen for all events now days

    From what remember I think its a lottery and they tell you later if you got them. There was site you requested what you wanted on a certain date.

    Omigosh, thank you so much!! You know, I had looked into this awhile ago and didn't think to look again. Maybe the dates just weren't up at the time (and I didn't realize you could do the translating thing). Thank you!!! :mrgreen:
