How to get French Open 2026 tickets if you missed out on public ballot
Put a bounce back into your step by getting tickets to this year's French Open.
Set on the iconic Roland Garros courts, this tournament marks 130 years of the French Open, and kick starts the summer tennis season which ultimately ends in Wimbledon.
Although the British grass court season is beloved, the high-stakes and tension of its European counterpart is unmatched – plus it's a perfect excuse to get out of the country in early summer.
Every year, tickets for the event are scarce; therefore, the organisers have introduced a ballot system which has sadly already closed.
However, there is still hope. Whether it's through hospitality or second sales, there are still plenty of ways to grab yourself a seat at this year's tournament, so let's serve up everything you need to know.

When did French Open tickets go on sale?
Last year the French Open introduced a new ballot system for tickets, similar to Wimbledon. Entry to the 2026 ballot closed on 17 December 2025.
As with other ticket lotteries, entering the ballot did not guarantee you tickets to the Open. Instead, those whose names were drawn will by notified via e-mail before the end of February 2026.
How to get French Open tickets if you missed the public ballot
If you missed out on the French Open ballot, the other option is hospitality.
You can find official hospitality packages at P1 Travel, which get you guaranteed match tickets and access to Le Pavillon – a VIP lounge which includes souvenirs, complimentary drinks, small bites, and a full gastronomic dinner.
Hospitality tickets obviously cost a lot more than general admission, but if you're desperate to see the tournament or you're looking for a touch of luxury, this is a great option.
How much do French Open hospitality tickets cost?
The price of hospitality tickets depend on the days you attend and the matches you see – however, as a rule the packages start much higher than general admission costs.
Last year, the lowest price we saw was £479 for the first few days, but it then went all the way up to £2,598 for the men's final, or £3,932 for a two-day package of the men's and women's finals.
