Thanks for the info - I am feeling good about Section 10/Balcony and Section 5 Row D Seat 1 on the floor.  I think I'll take your advice and stay put.  There are already to seats for Section 10 in the Balcony going for $150 on StubHub!  I travel to Nashville on business 10 out of 12 months each year - I have fallen in love with the city.  I stay at The Union Station Hotel which is amazing and very well situated for enjoying all that Nashville has to offer.  In August, I caught Amanda Shires at 3rd and Lindsley - amazing show.  I am hoping there might be a good late night set of bluegrass happening at The Station Inn after the Wilco shows.  But mostly, see these guys at The Mother Church - holy shit!!![

 

This will be my first time at the Ryman and I'm so excited! I could only get balcony seats but looks like section 10 is a good section. Thanks for mentioning The Union Station Hotel. I'm looking for hotels now. I have high expectations for Nashville. Coming with camera in hand. If anyone knows of specific areas for graffiti and great architecture I'd love to hear. Thanks

You'll love the balcony. Saw Beck do a 2 night stand here in July. Did the first night on the balcony and the second on the floor. Wished I had been up on the balcony again for night 2. Most recently saw Tweedy there and had floor seats. The vast majority of seats there are great. The back of the floor blows as do the aisle seats on the floor do to columns in your way. Always been my favorite place to see bands play...

Sometimes business travel and great live music collide in a perfect way - today is one of those times.  Tickets for both nights of The Ryman - Night 1 in the balcony and Night 2 right up front in the center.  I have never been to The Ryman, but I assume there really isn't a bad seat in the house - excepting the ones with poles in the way.  Is this the case?  Wondering whether it's worth trying to score floor tix for Night 1 or just be grateful for I've got... In any event - Woo Hoo!!!

As a Nashville native I honestly think balcony is where it's at for the Ryman. But you might as well do floor one night and balcony another. I scored tix in section 12 for night one and section 13 for night two. Total bullshit about the sale going live an hour early. I just happened to check the site around 9:06. Frustrating but oh well it'll sound great dead center balcony.
