Rome tennis tickets guide
Attending the Italian Open is a bucket-list experience for tennis enthusiasts worldwide. Tennis Ticket Service sells Center Court (Campo Centrale) tickets, split into day and evening sessions, plus Grounds tickets for access to the outer courts.
Italian Open ticket prices vary significantly depending on three key factors: the specific day of attendance, the tournament round, and whether you’re on Center Court or on a Grounds ticket.
Early-round matches are naturally more affordable than the high-stakes semifinals and finals. Center Court, hosting the biggest matches, runs separate day and evening sessions to accommodate more spectators. A Grounds ticket doesn’t include Center Court, but covers the rest of the grounds, including the Grand Stand Arena and Pietrangeli Stadium, and is the most affordable way to spend a day at the tournament.
