French Open 2024 Premium Passion Offer for Mens Final
Premium Passion Offer is a package deal offer by French Open which includes
- Tour of Champions Wall
- Tour of Philippe-Chatrier Court (broadcast booths and courtside seats, Coco Gauff was practicing)
- Meet and greet with a former French Tennis Player (Henry Leconte in 2024)
- Breakfast, Lunch and after match snacks (very very good french dishes and drinks were served non-stop for over 10 hours on the day I visited)
- Souvenir (2024 French Open Towel)
The day started with checking in around 8:30am at Gate 5 at Boulevard d’Auteuil.
Our group of 8 were taken to the Salon 102 in Chatrier Stadium by access/stair 13.
The tour guide lead us to the Champions Wall area where we met with Mr. Henry Leconte. Mr. Leconte couldn’t have been nicer. He too photos with each of us as well as group. He answered all our random questions and made jokes.
Then we were lead to tour of Chatrier court - which including checkout out broadcast booths from several nations. Then we headed out to court side seats. Coco Gauff was practicing at that time getting ready of her doubles final. We took photos, selfies and hang out in that area for approximately 30 minutes.
The tour ended around 10am the tour lead notified us that Carlos Alcaraz and Sascha Zeverv will be practicing at court 5 and court 4 respectively at 11am. He suggested we eat breakfast and head out to those courts to get good seats before crowd show up.
Seat Location
The seat the I got for the offer was Category 1, Access C13, Row 11, Seat 91.
There were loge boxes and 6 rows of Category gold in front of me. So, my seat is ~20 rows behind the side line. It is not the greatest seat in the stadium. I was not able to find a better seat for the final during public sales. For the seats closer to the court, I would recommend buying tickets in Suzanne Lenglen stadium from earlier round, such as round of 16.
Access C13 is facing the chair umpire by the side line. There is no roof nor shade on my side for most of the day. It was not very hot on that day with a few cloud so I survived the match.
One of the biggest benefits of the offer is, there is a designated door to Salon 102 from the seats. We were able to go to the lounge where there is no line to restroom and to food/drink stations with air conditioning with multiple big screen TVs. And there is a very short (if any) line going back to the seat from Salon 102.
If you have been to tennis matches, you will know how much time is being wasted waiting in lines restroom, food/drinks and ended up missing great actions.
Access C13, Row 11, Seat 91 is in the shaded area. Seat 91 happened to be an aisle seat and there was an empty row (walkway) between Row 10 and Row 11.
Is French Open Premium Passion Offer worth it?
For Mens’ final of 2024, it is a resounding YES.
It was totally worth it for €1670.00.
On the day of final, there is only one session and thus guests can stay well after trophy presentation.
I can’t say for certain if premium offer is worth it for a day with two sessions or a match that ends in a hurry. But that is sports which we can’t control.
But I can say for sure that the Premium Passion Offer from French Open is very generous and you will have a great time.
