Side of the Balcony

Nov 2019

Section 16, Row K

★★★★★

I have been to the Opry at The Ryman before and these seats are not bad. Of course there are better, but depending on the show this area is usually one of the cheaper options available. You will lose some of the artists (a drummer or pianist) if they are toward the back of the stage, but the singers and performers are typically at the front of the stage and you can see them great from section 16.This section is also close to the concessions so it is quick and easy to grab a drink as they change over the stage between artists.

Can't see the entire band.

Dec 2023

Section 16, Row J, Seat 7

★★★★★

You won’t see much behind the front row performers. The stage does not extend out far enough. It wasn’t horrible but you need to be at least center of section 15 to begin to get a full view. Personally.. I would not sit in this section again.

  • Balcony Sides

    -

    Sections 9-10 and 15-16 are considered side balcony sections. These have more of an angle toward the stage than the center sections. Sections 10 and 15 are closer to the center and are the more preferable sections in this location. However, although sections 9 and 16 are all the way on the side, they still provide clearer views and a better experience than the back rows on the main floor. One of the reasons for this is that the performers for the Opry or any other performance are typically at the front of the stage which is in clear view. There is also a large projection streaming the show that is great to help follow small details happening on stage.From these seats you can look around the auditorium and take in its beauty. The seats are pew style. If you are looking for leg room, Row A of the balcony is the only place you will find it at the Ryman Auditorium. Some of the cheapest seats for an Opry show will be in the back rows of the balcony. Typically, these are a great deal when compared to other seats and the experience they provide.

Section 16 at Ryman Auditorium (2024)

FAQs

What is the best section 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.

Learn More ›
What is the obstructed view at the Ryman auditorium? ›

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.

Read The Full Story ›
Where is the best sound in the Ryman? ›

The acoustics are part of what makes the Ryman famous, so the sound is good most anywhere. The only consideration for the seats under the ceiling is whether there might be a pole dividing the view.

Read The Full Story ›
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.

Keep Reading ›
Can you take a purse into the Ryman auditorium? ›

No firearms (with or without a permit) are allowed at Ryman Auditorium. All persons, bags (including purses) and articles are subject to screening and search.

Know More ›
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.

Is there a dress code for the Ryman auditorium? ›

Jeans and a blouse is just fine. Depending on the time of year, you'll see people in anything from shorts and tshirts to dressier. For the Opry, I always suggest people wear what they are most comfortable wearing out for the evening. You won't be out of place and you're more likely to have an enjoyable time.

Can you take pictures inside the Ryman Auditorium? ›

During Self-Guided tours of the Ryman, cameras are allowed. Cameras, however, are not permitted at anytime during the Backstage Tour. No coat check is available at this time.

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

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.

Are drinks served in Ryman Auditorium? ›

Concessions at Ryman Auditorium

Grab a drink at one of our fully stocked bars or visit our concessions in the lobby on each floor of the Ryman for popcorn, candy, pretzels, and more.

What is so special about 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.

See Details ›
Is the Ryman air conditioned? ›

Air conditioning was added for the first time, and power, lighting, sound and plumbing systems were upgraded. Simultaneous to the rehabilitation was the construction of an addition.

Show Me More ›
Is there a bad seat in the Ryman? ›

Personally, I think the best seats are in the lower level, about rows 6–12, in any section. After that, if you can get the front row of the Balcony, that's also a unique viewing angle. The worst seats in the house are on at the back of the lower level, under the balcony.

Get More Info ›
Can I get a refund for obstructed view? ›

If you've purchased obstructed view tickets in error, you can ask for a refund before the performance. Remember, obstructed view tickets are supposed to be clearly labeled at the time of purchase.

Explore More ›
Why does my ticket say obstructed view? ›

It defines an obstructed view as 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. "Don't worry," it adds.
