A simple guide to winning French Open tickets
You know the best way to win French Open tickets?1. Submit an application in for the ticket ballot, fully expecting that nothing will come out of it.
2. Queue up a semi-clashing holiday to Euro Disney on a whim after seeing a commercial on TV.
3. Wait paitently until the tickets start to be allocated. When it seems unlikely you'll get any (as if you're going to win semi finals tickets to a grand slam anyway), go ahead and book your non-refundable holiday.
4. Wait three days, and presto! Tickets will arrive.
5. Get out your wallet and book another non-refundable ticket to Paris.
As Niall said, I think the chances of us winning the ballot tickets became almost certain the moment we committed money to the holiday. But I'm really excited, it's going to be awesome and full of people dressed in stuffed suits and amusing signs in french :)
(For the record, that's the only time that I have ever seen a commercial for Euro Disney on TV. Spooky.)
