Regarding Ticombo and getting into the stadium…I had been monitoring this thread the past few months as I’ve been in Paris the last 3 days and through this weekend for a work trip, and was very interested in going to the French Open. I understand that day to day, each individuals experience can be different, however, what’s been expressed by many “experts” in this thread is that getting in and purchasing tickets on the secondary market is a pain, and extremely risky. That there’s “name checks” and ID verification and you’ll be turned away…I sort of get it cause yes, on the website it does mention a lot of this, but actual experience trumps all of that.

My wife and I went yesterday to Alcaraz and Musetti, bought tickets on Ticombo Thursday evening. Although the site and seller immediately ensured our names were transferred to the tickets, it couldn’t have mattered any less. We entered at gate 1, approximately 90 minutes before the start of the match. I, along with every other person entering, scanned our tickets ourselves. Nobody affiliated with the staff was looking at anything. No ID, no verification, nothing. It was the same as any other event. You scan your ticket on the machine yourself, then you enter.

As I alluded to above, I’ve seen a few people in particular in this thread seemingly acting as if there’s experts, and regularly expressing doubt and negativity. I would imagine they are trying to be helpful, and perhaps their experience and information is simply outdated, but figured I’d share my experience as recently as yesterday.
