Best Value Tickets (Under $100)

• Section 26-27/35-36 Rows M-R ($94): Side balcony sections offering good elevated views of the famous circle stage. Rows M-R are midway back - avoid extreme side angles in these sections.
• Section 26-27/35-36 Rows H-K ($99): Closer balcony rows with better sightlines. Section 27 Row K has 6 available seats together - great for groups.

Sweet Spot Tickets ($113-$118)

• Section 16/24 Rows B/G ($113-$116): Front side orchestra with excellent proximity to the stage. Row B is just 7 rows back!
• Section 28-34 Rows J-K ($116-$118): Center balcony sections with direct facing views. Row J puts you at ideal elevation to see all performers.
• Section 30-32 Rows K-L ($116-$118): Prime center balcony seats - the best mid-range option for sound and visibility.

Higher Tier Options ($142-$203)

• Section 1/7/17/22-23 Rows A-C ($142-$176): Front orchestra sections. Note that Row A may have slightly obstructed views when artists are at the circle's edge.
• Section 2/6 Rows F-K ($170-$188): Premium orchestra center sections. Row F is the value sweet spot in these prime areas.
• Section 19-21 Rows B-C ($188-$203): Front side orchestra with excellent sightlines to the famous wooden circle.

Premium & VIP Options

View Comparison

• Balcony (Sections 26-36): Elevated views show the iconic wooden circle pattern best. Higher rows may feel distant.
• Orchestra (Sections 1-24): Closer to artists but may miss some of the circle's visual impact. Rows A-C may require some neck craning.
• Center vs Side: Center sections (2-6, 28-34) offer straight-on views while side sections provide more angled perspectives.

Pro Tips

• The Opry's wooden circle (from the original Ryman Auditorium) is where most artists perform - prioritize seats with clear views of this area
• Balcony rows J-M offer the best balance of price and view quality
• For groups of 6, Section 27 Row K ($99) or Section 30 Row L ($116) offer excellent together
• Packages provide great value if you want the full Opry experience with backstage access
