    Avoid Section 1 Due to Potential Obstructions

    Seats on the main floor after Row N have a higher chance of experiencing obstructed views due to the support poles. While many seats still offer decent sightlines, the further back you sit, the more likely the poles become a factor—especially toward the center sections. Rows closer to the stage generally avoid these obstructions, but anything beyond Row N should be chosen carefully, as poles can partially block views of the stage.

    • 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.
