Your Guide to the Ryman Auditorium Seating Experience

The historic Ryman Auditorium, known as the "Mother Church of Country Music," offers an intimate yet iconic setting for concerts and events. With its unique church-pew seating and superb acoustics, choosing the right seat enhances your experience. Here’s a breakdown of the Ryman seating chart and what to expect.

Ryman Auditorium Seating Chart Overview

• Main Floor (Pew Sections 1-19): Closest to the stage, offering clear views but limited legroom. Center pews (Sections 5-15) provide the best sightlines.
• Balcony (Sections 1-6): Elevated views with a wider perspective, ideal for full-stage visibility. Front balcony rows (A-C) are prime for avoiding obstructions.
• Side Balcony (Sections 1-3 & 4-6): Slightly angled views; avoid extreme side seats for skewed sightlines.

Best Seats for Different Events

• Concerts: Main Floor center pews (Rows A-D) or front balcony for balanced audio/visuals.
• Speeches/Theater: Balcony center (Rows A-B) for unobstructed views.

Seat Views & Potential Obstructions

Main Floor pews near pillars (Rows P-Q) may have partial obstructions. Balcony rear rows (D-F) feel distant for intimate performances. Side balcony seats offer unique angles but may miss direct center-stage action.

VIP & Accessibility Options

• VIP Packages: Include premium pew seats, backstage tours, and meet-and-greets.
• Accessibility: Wheelchair-accessible seating in Main Floor rear and balcony with companion seats.
