Fast forward almost two years. We've got tickets and are going at least to the semi-finals!

On my bucket list as well. Are you using a service to purchase your tickets, or are you buying them on the open market??

Used a service for one day of semi-finals and then going to try for some others when they go on sale. We just wanted to be absolutely sure we had some. Not going to finals so that we can make it home.

I hope you had a fantastic time.

Went to the opening matches on center court of Roland Garros in 2009. One of the more memorial of many trips abroad.

How I was able to go was pretty cool. During the weekday leading to the opening matches I was in line to purchase tickets. Unfortunately, after waiting in line for an hour and at the moment I was next in line to purchase tickets, the ticket booths closed. I walked away and stated my frustration (in English), only to be overheard by an expat American (who had resided in France since the 70s) who had just picked up her ticket allotment. She asked if I wanted to purchase a ticket and I quickly said yes.

I met her Saturday morning and low and behold, she brings a picnic basket with food and wine for us while we watched the matches. We had a great time, and still keep in touch.
