The 2024 membership begins January 1, 2024 and provides the member pre-sale ticket access to all Ryman Auditorium and Opry House* concerts sold between January 1, 2024 and December 31, 2024. 2024 shows sold before January 1, 2024 are not included in the 2024 membership term. To request ticket access to a 2024 show sold prior to January 1, 2024, please contact the Ryman Membership team to check ticket availability. *Does not include Grand Ole Opry, Opry Country Classics, or Opry Country Christmas shows  

This special membership offer is $5,000 and includes guaranteed pre-sale access to purchase two (2) tickets to every Ryman Auditorium and Opry House concert for the term of the membership. Memberships are sold in quantities of one (right to purchase 2 tickets to each show) or two (right to purchase 4 tickets to each show).

• Guaranteed first-access to purchase tickets to all Ryman Auditorium and Opry House shows before the public sales, at face value for announced concerts through December 31, 2024  
• Access to premium seats in our most in-demand seating locations  
• Four (4) free passes per year to the Ford VIP Lounge, which includes complimentary food and beverage service, dedicated entrance, private restrooms, and Hatch Show Print event poster.

Membership does not include show tickets but gives the member pre-sale access to buy premium seats at face value to any and all Ryman and Opry House shows (not including Grand Ole Opry shows) during the membership term.

Membership seats are located in Section 10-15, Rows A-J of the Ryman balcony and Sections 1-7, Rows F-N on the main floor. For every show pre-sale, members will login to their customized AXS Fan Account and choose their preferred premium seats from the seating map. Just like any ticket on sale, the sooner you login to your AXS Fan Account during the member pre-sale, the better your chances of getting the exact seats you desire. But as anyone who has seen a show at the Ryman and Opry House knows – there isn’t a bad seat in the house, especially when you are selecting from the Icon Membership block!  

The Ford Lounge is the Ryman’s recently-expanded lounge space updated with luxurious decor and new offerings. It is located to the right of Ryman Auditorium Box Office and Main Entrance, facing 4th Avenue. The Ford Lounge opens an hour and fifteen minutes prior to showtime and remains open through intermission. *Ford Lounge may not be open for every Ryman show, please see individual event page for updated availability  

Each Ford Lounge pass includes:  

• Premium service, a private bar, an exclusive entrance, and dedicated restrooms   

• Top shelf drinks (included with your pass)  

• Complimentary food from our updated menu  

• A commemorative Hatch Print Show Poster  

• Early entry (15 minutes before doors open)  

No! While Ryman Icon Members have access to purchase show tickets to all Ryman Auditorium and Opry House shows during the membership term, there is no minimum number of shows or tickets required to maintain your membership. Choose only the shows you want to see. We know with over 250 Ryman events and 20+ Opry House shows scheduled each year, there will be no shortage of great shows you’ll want to attend!

Once payment is completed for your Icon Membership, the Ford Lounge passes and Ryman tour tickets will automatically be loaded into your AXS Fan Account for you to begin using. Draw from these anytime you wish during the membership term. You may pick up your Icon Membership merchandise package from the Ryman Retail Store anytime during business hours: 9am – 4pm, seven days a week, and before or during select shows.
