4. Planning Your Concert Experience

Concerts are amazing. However, they can get tricky without a game plan.

Buying Tickets

You need to stick to official websites or the venue’s direct pages for the best prices and peace of mind. Trusted resale platforms work too. However, you need to watch out for inflated prices. If your heart is set on a sold-out show, keep an eye out for last-minute drops or verified resale tickets.

Venue Tips

Some venues, such as Bridgestone Arena and Nissan Stadium. are massive. So, you need to consider your seating preferences. Want to be close to the action? Choose floor seats. Prefer a bird’s-eye view? Choose upper-level tickets. Why? They are cheaper and still offer great sound. For smaller venues, such as Ryman or Bluebird, every seat feels personal.

Parking can, however, be a headache, especially downtown. You can park a little farther out and walk or use ride-shares. Additionally, some venues partner with parking apps to let you reserve spots in advance.

Pre- and Post-Concert Fun

Do not forget to plan your pre- and post-concert fun. Nashville’s food and nightlife are as vibrant as music. Before a show, you can grab southern comfort food at Puckett’s or splurge on fine dining at Kayne Prime. Afterward, you can chill with craft cocktails at a rooftop bar like L.A. Jackson.
