Grand Ole Opry House Seating Chart & Ticket Buying Guide

Best Value Tickets for Grand Ole Opry Shows

The Grand Ole Opry offers excellent sightlines throughout the venue, but some sections provide particularly good value. Here's our expert breakdown of the best options at different price points:

Sweet Spot Tickets (Best Value)

• Section 26-36 (Rows J-M, $102-$107): These center sections offer great views of the iconic stage at reasonable prices. Rows J-M are elevated enough to see over standing performers while still feeling close to the action.
• Section 16/24 (Rows B/G, $124-$127): Closer side sections with good angled views toward the stage. Row B puts you just 7 rows back in these sections.
• Section 28-34 (Rows J-K, $127): Slightly more elevated than the floor sections but with excellent straight-on views of the circular stage.

Higher Tier Options (Better Views)

• Section 1/7 (Rows A/DD, $154-$193): Premium floor sections close to the stage. Row DD is elevated slightly for better viewing over standing guests.
• Section 17-23 (Rows A-C, $154-$207): Front side sections with excellent proximity to performers. Row A is closest to the stage in these sections.
• Mezzanine (Rows F, $263): Elevated views that let you take in the entire iconic stage design.

Premium & VIP Experiences

• Floor Sections 1-6 (Rows L-R, $344-$551): The closest possible seats with some including backstage tours (Diamond/Gold packages).
• VIP Packages ($309-$1127): Includes premium seating plus extras like backstage tours, artist meet-and-greets when available, and commemorative merchandise.

View Comparison

• Floor Sections (1-23): Immersive experience where you can see performers' expressions. Rows A-DD are closest but may require looking up at the stage.
• Center Sections (26-36): Elevated enough for clear sightlines over standing guests with excellent sound quality.
• Side Sections (16-24): Angled views that often provide unique perspectives on the rotating stage performances.
• Mezzanine: Best for taking in the full spectacle of the Opry's famous barn-style set design.

Current Best Deals (Multiple Tickets Available)

• 4 tickets in Section 27 Row R @ $102 each - Great value in a center section
• 6 tickets in Section 36 Row K @ $107 each - Sweet spot pricing with good elevation
• 4 tickets in Section 16 Row B @ $127 each - Close side section at reasonable price

Recommendations

For first-time visitors, we recommend the center sections (26-36) between rows J-M for the best balance of price and view. Groups of 4-6 have excellent options available at the $102-$127 price point. The VIP packages are worth considering if you want the full Opry experience with backstage access.

Special Notes

• The Opry's unique circular rotating stage means there are no terrible seats
• Floor seats in rows A-DD may require some neck craning for shorter attendees
• Mezzanine seats provide the best views of the iconic barn backdrop
• VIP packages often include parking passes - valuable at this venue
