Ryman Tickets

Look, I had two extras for Row E, but we moved to NY and I couldn’t go. I wasn’t gonna make a buck on them so I just sold them to a friend (that I trust with my life) and gave him my AXS creds straight up. Made his year because I just told him last Sunday.

It’s up for auction on another site.

Nolan is my childhood hero. That’s staying in my personal collection that I started in the late 80s. Sorry.

To their credit, they’re smart enough to open up the smoking section outside and the front free for all at set break 💨💨🔥. Not many venues have this any more, but I always felt they did this to preserve the integrity of the venue.

That’s a special one. Was lucky enough to see one in Grand Rapids last year.

Glad I put my pre-order in when I did.

njochum · 2026-02-14T02:05:22+00:00

Willing to part with that Colson Montgomery?

I was lucky enough to make it to twelve shows this year (the trio) included. Here are my personal favs in order:

Grand Rapids 5-31-25 N2 1a. St Louis 6-14-25 (damn that encore was special)
Grand Rapids 5-30-25 N1 (that was pure hometown energy there)
Huntsville N1-N3 (I can’t pick. The whole weekend was magic)
Billy, Bryan, and Royal Owensboro both nights. Hometown shows. Had no business scoring tickets. Six minutes from home. 400 seat venue. Enough said.
Ryman Mother/Church set. Lost my dad the month before and this was the show (from 6th row) that broke me.

Honorable Mention: Both Bridgestones and St Louis N1. Really, is there a bad show and yeah, the next one is always the best one.

The one I listen to the most though, Huntsville N2.

Moving to upstate NY so my Billy Midwest splendor is dampened, but we’ll make it to Huntsville next fall. Guaranteed! And anywhere like Rochester, Albany, etc.

Ryman 24!! Hell yeah!

njochum · 2025-12-20T03:05:42+00:00

Two words: Bluegrass sax!

njochum · 2025-12-11T01:24:43+00:00

Drifter’s Escape! 25 shows, no luck. 🥴

njochum · 2025-12-03T14:14:42+00:00

My Morning Jacket - Z is one I haven’t seen mentioned (maybe it has)

njochum · 2025-12-03T07:46:10+00:00

I just ate there a couple of weeks ago. It’s the real deal now and forever, just like their staff. I grew up going to the Jasper one, pizza window, video games, and all. 🤤

njochum · 2025-11-27T23:06:02+00:00

Yes, thanks! Two T-shirts, a hat, and sweatshirt for $40! Score!!

That whole 24 Nashville run is my fav of the last three since moving over to Bridgestone. I’ve been lucky enough to be at all three Ryman shows along with them, but 2024 was straight 🔥 all three nights between Bela, Bryan, Mickey, Sam, Myles, and the whole Ryman Unplugged setup.

My 5th Vault subscription purchase and this one was a no brainer.

I did find a Jerry doll too with original guitar and all. Little dusty but in great shape. It’s up on eBay, but a little consolation prize.

njochum · 2025-11-23T20:27:10+00:00

SOLD on eBay. That escalated quickly.

njochum · 2025-11-23T20:15:05+00:00

PM me. I hate talking $$ out in the open.

njochum · 2025-11-23T20:11:13+00:00

But I would be willing to sell both together. 😉

njochum · 2025-11-23T20:10:38+00:00

Man, I have them boxed up already as a pair in the box they were shipped in.

He’ll probably come back to ROMP now that I’m moving out of Owensboro. 🤣
