Probably Better Options

Nov 2019

Section 2, Row W

This was my first time at the Ryman Auditorium and I didn't realize how different the views could be in such a small venue. Since most people are first timers they probably run into the same issues as me thinking that the main floor has great views but then find it to be less than ideal. I still enjoyed my time, but the view was pretty limited compared to elsewhere in the venue. Lesson learned, look at photos next time!

  • Main Floor Side

    -

    There are four side sections 1-2 and 7-8. Similar to the seats center sections it is best to be located in the front half of the side sections. The best side seats are in rows B-M in sections 1-7. There will be an angle for some of the seats, but for most shows it will not impact the viewing experience. All seating is pew style which will be a tight fit for some.There is only one way in and one way out of the auditorium. If you are someone who prefers not to walk far to your seats or will need to head out to the lobby frequently sections 7 and 8 are nearest to the exit whereas sections 1-2 are a much longer walk.Toward the back of all main floor sections the view becomes very condensed due to the balcony overhang. While the stage is in clear view for most seats, the overall experience of the Ryman beauty is minimized. For this reason, balcony seats are a great option in alternative to the back rows on the main floor.

    (Section 8) - -

    Terrible view for a concert. Couldn’t see the backdrop or drum set at all. Really don’t even think they should sell seats with this view. Luckily we were able to move to some other empty seats or it would have been pointless.

  • "Perfect for the Opry!!!!!"

    (Section 7) - -

    I thought we would be a little off center (and we were) but the stage was wide enough that we could see basically everything because we were so close! Amazing to be so close to such talented artists. Thoroughly enjoyed our time here :)

Section 2 at Ryman Auditorium (2024)

FAQs

What are the best sections at the Ryman? ›

Because the Ryman is an intimate venue, you'll have a great viewing experience no matter where you sit. In general, sitting in the front half of the center or side sections will give you the best view. If you're looking to sit in the side seats, rows B-M in sections 1-7 will typically provide the best experience.

What is the obstructed view at the Ryman? ›

If the seat in the diagram or on a ticket says "obstructed view" take that seriously and don't bother purchasing that seat. It means that there is a big, blocky post between you and your view of the stage. Not a simple post, a chunky post. It is not easy or comfortable to look around it either.

What does "limited view" mean at the Ryman? ›

If tickets are marked as an “obstructed” or “limited” view, the venue (not the seller) has determined that those seats do not have a full view of the stage, field, court, ice, etc.

Does the Ryman have seat numbers? ›

Ryman Auditorium with Seat Numbers

Instead the lower numbered seats are typically closer to the center of the stage while higher seat numbers are further from the center of the stage.

Is there a bad seat in the Ryman auditorium? ›

How are the seats? It's true what people say: There's no bad seat at the Ryman. The intimate venue was once a church, and the altar (i.e. the stage) is on full display no matter if you're in the first-row orchestra or last-row balcony.

How early should you get to the Ryman? ›

Arrive at least a half-hour early for the performance. We got there twenty minutes early and with the security checks, we still didn't get to our seats until 15 minutes after the show started. Quality entertainers, as you would expect in Nashville at the "Mother Church of country music." Just be sure to arrive early.

Can you take pictures inside the Ryman Auditorium? ›

If photography is allowed, you may bring in a digital, disposable or 35mm camera. Professional cameras with detachable or telephoto lenses are prohibited. During Self-Guided tours of the Ryman, cameras are allowed. Cameras, however, are not permitted at anytime during the Backstage Tour.

What is the difference between Opry and Ryman? ›

In the 1970s, it was decided that the Grand Ole Opry needed its own permanent home and so the Grand Ole Opry building was constructed. The show moved from Ryman Auditorium in 1974, and with an undetermined purpose and future, the Ryman fell into disrepair in the years that followed.

How obstructed is an obstructed view? ›

What does obstructed view mean? It means you'll have either an incomplete view or something will be in your line of sight because of the position of the seats — like a pole, speakers or the sound board — and you won't be able to see the entire stage.

Can I bring a purse into the Ryman auditorium? ›

All persons, bags (including purses) and articles are subject to screening and search. Tennessee law allows property owners to prohibit any individual, including those with a concealed carry permit from Tennessee or from any other state, from bringing a firearm onto their property.

How do I know if my tickets are obstructed view? ›

Listings with obstructed views will have a note letting you know the view is blocked, and they can be excluded when browsing listings by filtering your search to Exclude Obstructed Views (see images below). You can also check your ticket by viewing the PDF in the Tickets section of your SeatGeek account.

Does side view mean obstructed? ›

A restricted view, limited view or side view means that you may be unable to see the entire stage from the specified seats. You'll have either an incomplete view because of the position of the seats, or something may be in your line of sight – like a pole, speakers, or the sound board.

What is the curfew for concerts in Nashville? ›

Such music or other entertainment may be provided outside of a structure only between the hours of seven a.m. and eleven p.m., except when exempted under provisions of the code as a special event, mass gathering or other permitted activity by metropolitan government or its boards or commissions.

What is the seating capacity at the Ryman? ›

The Ryman has a capacity of 2,362 with accessible seating options.

Why is the Ryman so popular? ›

Why is the Ryman So Famous? The Ryman is famous for being the Mother Church of Country Music, the birthplace of bluegrass, and the original home of the Grand Ole Opry. It's where countless music careers were launched. It's a unique musical venue constructed with stunning acoustics and 130 years of history.

What is the difference between the Grand Ole Opry and Opry at the Ryman? ›

The Grand Ole Opry moved to the Opry house in 1974 because it was determined the show needed its own, permanent home. Ryman Auditorium was home to the Grand Ole Opry for more than 30 years, from 1943 to 1974.

What are the best seats at the Grand Ole Opry? ›

The rows directly facing the stage, in the center of the Main Floor, are considered to be some of the Grand Ole Opry's best seats. Even the seats farther back on the Main Floor offer some of the best Grand Ole Opry seating views of the performers on stage.

What is special about the Ryman Auditorium? ›

Its unique architecture and state-of-the-art sound technology make every show one of the best you've ever seen. Even skeptics have called it “spiritual,” making it a sacred place for music lovers.

Does the Ryman have snacks? ›
