At Roland Garros, the official program for each day, available on the official website, can sometimes be turned upside down. Indeed, if the schedule for the start of the day is quite clear, it is very difficult to count on the exact time of the end of the matches. The main constraints for the organisers: the weather and the time of sunset. In fact, only the Philippe-Chatrier court has a retractable roof and can host matches at night. The other courts do not have lighting.
Roland-Garros 2023 begins with the main draw matches on Sunday, May 28, 2023. The date of the men’s final, which traditionally closes the fortnight, is set for Sunday, June 11, 2023.
The Roland Garros ticketing system (see the official website) is the same as previous editions. The objective of the organizers is to fill the courts “to full capacity”. For this, access to the stands has been reworked with the sale of 1,500 “annex-up” tickets which will allow ticket holders to attend matches on the annex courts but also to fill the boxes of the central court Philippe Chatrier , in case of low attendance. Often empty, the presidential stand will experience change in this 2022 edition. The organizers will give club volunteers the opportunity to attend the matches from this stand, by inviting them regularly.
Roland Garros has been open to the general public since Wednesday March 15 with the ticket office accessible to all. Visitors and spectators can now buy tickets on the official site of Roland Garros. They will have to choose the remaining ones because the presidents of the tennis clubs and the licensees have already taken tickets for this edition of Roland Garros. The limit is set at 8 tickets maximum for the 3 main courtswithin the limit of 4 places per session, including a maximum of 4 tickets for the following 4 days (Saturday June 3, Sunday June 4, Friday June 9 and Sunday June 11) and a maximum of 12 tickets for the annexes the first week, within the limit of 4 per day.
