Know before you go
Your safety, and the safety of our artists and team are our first priorities at Ryman Auditorium. We’ve put measures in place at every guest and staff touchpoint to ensure that your experience is safe and fun when you attend a limited, in-person Ryman show. And we have the support from our team at Ryman Hospitality Properties and Vanderbilt University Medical Center to make sure that we have the very best safeguards and training in place so that you can feel good about your visit to the Ryman.
Room for fun
Our seating is positioned so that you have room to enjoy the show and the sounds at the Ryman. We’ve limited the tickets for each event so that seats are spread out and placed at least 6 feet apart.
Masks for Safety
We’re requiring all guests to wear masks at all times during any Ryman show to ensure your safety, and the safety of our staff and artists. If you don’t have a mask at the time of the show, we will provide one for you.
Clean and Secure
The Ryman’s best-in-class safety protocols developed with Vanderbilt Health include enhanced cleaning and sanitation practices. Hand sanitation stations will be located throughout the venue.
