Roland-Garros 2027 — the French Open — runs from Monday 17 May to Sunday 6 June 2027 at Stade Roland-Garros, Porte d'Auteuil, in the 16th arrondissement of Paris. It is the second Grand Slam of the season and the only one contested on red clay: longer rallies, higher bounce, five-set afternoons that reward patience over power.
It is also one of the hardest sporting events in Europe to organise well. Tickets are personalised and sold in staged windows, the best sessions disappear quickly, Paris hotel rates rise across the fortnight, and getting a group in and out of Porte d'Auteuil on a busy day takes planning. Britatlas arranges the whole thing as a single trip — for private travellers and families, for travel agencies reselling to their own clients, and for companies entertaining guests.

How Roland-Garros tickets are released
This is where most people go wrong. Roland-Garros does not simply put every seat on sale one morning. Tickets are released in phases, normally beginning late in the previous year:
- Priority and members' phases — French tennis licence holders, club members and partners get first access.
- Public ballot / registration window — you register interest, then receive a purchase slot. Registering is not the same as having a ticket.
- General sale — whatever remains, session by session. The strongest days are usually gone the same day.
- Official resale platform and official travel packages — the legitimate routes once sale phases have closed. Official ticket-and-hotel packages often remain available long after individual seats have sold out.
Important warnings. Tickets are name-bearing and resale outside the official platform is restricted; tickets bought from unauthorised resellers can be cancelled and refused at the gate. Screenshot or PDF "tickets" offered on social media and marketplaces are the most common problem we are asked to rescue. Prices on secondary sites are not official prices, and no seat is confirmed until it is issued in the guest's name.
Which court to book

- Court Philippe-Chatrier (approx. 15,000 seats, retractable roof) — the centre court. Marquee matches, both singles finals, and the only court with night sessions. Rain does not end your day here.
- Court Suzanne-Lenglen (approx. 10,000 seats, roofed) — serious matches at a friendlier price, and the best value in week two.
- Court Simonne-Mathieu (approx. 5,000 seats) — sunken among the botanical greenhouses of the Jardin des Serres d'Auteuil; the most beautiful place to watch tennis in Paris.
- Grounds pass (week one) — access to the outside courts without a numbered main-court seat. Extraordinary value for anyone who wants to watch tennis all day rather than one specific player.
- Seat position: ask for shaded or covered rows for afternoon sessions in late May, and confirm accessible seating and companion places at enquiry stage — they are limited.
For groups we always prioritise seats together over marginally better single seats. Twelve people in four separate blocks is not a group day out.
Tickets or hospitality?
Both are valid; they answer different briefs.
- Standard tickets — the crowd, the concourses, the Parisian noise. Best for fans and for price-conscious groups.
- Official hospitality — a premium seat plus a hosted room: lunch or dinner from a named chef, wines and champagne, lounge access between matches, and no queues. Typically five to eight hours in comfort rather than three hours in the sun.
- Private salons and boxes — usually 8–20 guests with a dedicated host and tailored menus. The right answer for client entertaining and board-level guests.
- Shared hospitality tables — the efficient middle ground for two to six guests.
All tickets and hospitality are sourced through official and authorised channels, priced and allocated on availability at the time of booking.
Where to stay in Paris for the tournament

- 16th arrondissement (Passy, Trocadéro, Auteuil) — the shortest journey to the stadium and a quiet, residential feel. Book earliest here; room count is limited.
- 8th arrondissement (Champs-Élysées, Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré) — palace hotels, shopping and fine dining, with a 20–35 minute transfer.
- 1st and 2nd (Louvre, Place Vendôme, Opéra) — the classic first-time-in-Paris base; excellent for combining tennis with sightseeing.
- 6th and 7th (Saint-Germain, Eiffel Tower) — the most charming streets and the best neighbourhood dining.
- La Défense and Boulogne — practical for larger groups and corporate budgets, with coach-friendly access.
Expect firm rates, minimum-stay rules and early release dates across the fortnight — particularly over the finals weekend. Booking early buys both the rate and the choice of room category.
What Britatlas adds around the ticket
- Session tickets or hospitality in your preferred court and category, seated together.
- Paris hotels — from palace properties to practical four-star group accommodation, with rooming lists for larger parties.
- Chauffeured transfers — CDG, Orly or Le Bourget meet-and-greet, hotel-to-stadium and post-match returns with pre-agreed pick-up points.
- Cars and minivans at disposal for the day, rather than per-journey bookings; coaches for 16–60+ guests.
- Private jet charter from London or elsewhere in Europe into Le Bourget for finals weekend and same-day trips.
- Restaurant reservations — including tables that are effectively impossible during the tournament.
- Private touring — Louvre and Orsay with a licensed guide, Versailles, Champagne day trips, Seine charters.
- On-trip support — a named contact reachable throughout, not a call centre.
Sample three-night Roland-Garros trip
- Day one: airport meet-and-greet and chauffeured transfer, check in to a 16th or 8th arrondissement hotel, dinner booked in Saint-Germain.
- Day two: late breakfast, transfer to Porte d'Auteuil for a Philippe-Chatrier day session with hospitality, return to the hotel, evening at leisure.
- Day three: private guided Paris morning or Versailles, optional grounds pass in the afternoon, farewell dinner.
- Day four: departure transfers.
Practical advice before you commit
- Buy only from official or authorised sources. Tickets are personalised; unauthorised resale can void them.
- Guest names are needed early. Ticketing and hospitality both require a guest list — collect names before you confirm.
- Plan for sun and for rain. Roofed courts protect your day; outside courts do not. Hats, sun cream and a light jacket.
- Allow time at the gates. Bag checks and security are thorough; arrive 60–90 minutes before your session.
- Understand the terms. Tickets and hospitality are generally non-refundable once confirmed; hotels and transfers are more flexible. We set all of it out in writing.
- Play is weather- and schedule-dependent. Match allocation to courts is published by the organisers shortly before each day — no seller can guarantee a specific player.
