| What is included in my Make A Record purchase? | |
| You get a CD in its original “jewel box” case, with a Ryman Records label, listing your name(s) and the song you choose to record. | |
| Is there any other cost incurred? | |
| Yes. As you purchase your ticket for recording your CD, you must also purchase a Museum Tour Ticket. Tour Tickets come in two varieties: Self-guided Tour ($13.00, adult; $6.50, child aged 4-12); BackStage Tour ($17.00, adult; $10.50, child aged 4-12). The Backstage Tour includes the Self-guided Tour in the price. The reason for this is that the Recording Studio is located inside the Museum/Auditorium, which requires admission. |
