FAQ
Questions people actually ask
When is the French Open in 2027?
The main draw runs roughly May 23 to June 6, 2027, at Stade Roland Garros in Paris. Confirmed as of August 2026.
How do you get Roland Garros tickets?
The French Federation runs a public ballot months before the tournament. Being selected gets you into a purchase window, not a guaranteed seat, and demand far outstrips the available inventory, especially for the show courts. A package built around the ballot timing and show-court options is the more reliable route to the seats and days you want.
What makes Roland Garros different from other Grand Slams?
It is the only Grand Slam played on red clay. The surface is slower than grass or hard courts, which stretches out the rallies and rewards patience and footwork, a different look at the sport than Wimbledon or the US Open.
What is the difference between a grounds pass and a show-court ticket?
A grounds pass gets you onto the grounds and the outside courts but not the reserved show courts. Show-court tickets are seats at Court Philippe-Chatrier or Court Suzanne-Lenglen for the marquee matches scheduled there.
Do I need a passport?
Yes. Roland Garros is an international trip to Paris, and we handle the flights, transfers, and timing that come with an overseas event.
When should I book?
Early. The ballot runs months ahead of the tournament and Paris hotels in late May and early June are in high demand, so start the conversation well before the ballot window opens.
Booking and logistics
How does payment and the deposit work?
You reserve your package with a per-person deposit and pay the balance on a set schedule, with final payment typically due 60 days before departure. Deposits and payments are non-refundable and non-transferable, so we recommend travel insurance to protect what you pay. Your booking is transacted by a licensed tour operator whose full written terms govern your trip, and no payment is taken through this website. The full terms are on our legal and disclosures page.
Can you plan a trip for one person or a couple?
Yes. Package prices are quoted per person and depend on how many people share a room, so solo travelers and couples are quoted accordingly. Tell us your group and we will price it honestly.
Can you handle a large group?
Yes. We handle private groups, typically parties of eight or more, with dedicated coordination for the tickets, hotel, and logistics so everyone travels together smoothly.
Is Sports Travel Zone a legitimate, licensed agency?
Yes. We are a registered seller of travel, California CST 2155818-70 and Florida ST43282, a service of Early and Away Travel, LLC. Your booking is fulfilled by a licensed tour operator, and we earn a commission when you book.
What is your cancellation and refund policy?
Deposits and payments are non-refundable and non-transferable, and event tickets and hotel-only reservations are final once booked. If you cancel, any amount already paid cannot be refunded, which is why we strongly recommend travel insurance. If an event is postponed or cancelled, you receive updated tickets or a credit only to the extent the ticket or hotel vendor refunds the operator. The full terms are on our legal and disclosures page and are provided to you in writing before you book.
