#16 by atanori512 on December 21, 2010 - 7:10 pm
How come you only have one female artist? It’s a whole lineup of men/boys.
#17 by das on December 27, 2010 - 12:51 am
Any idea how early we need to arrive at wiinter jam 2011 to ensure we get in?
#18 by Winter Jam Tour on January 3, 2011 - 8:06 pm
Hey,
People generally start lining up 2-4 hours before the scheduled door time. There are some diehards that will camp overnight or arrive first thing in the morning though so it is hard to gauge how the line will fill from show to show.
If I were you I would bring some camping chairs and a cooler of sodas and plan to hang out in line for a few hours to guarantee that you will get in.

#21 by das on January 30, 2011 - 5:59 pm
THANKS FOR THE INFO. MY CHILDREN AND I HOPE TO GET IN. THEY ARE 7, 11, AND 13. WE’VE BEEN LISTENING TO CHRISTIAN MUSIC FOR A FEW YEARS, BUT HAVE NEVER BEEN TO A CHRISTIAN CONCERT. WE LIVE ABOUT AN HOUR AWAY FROM THE VENUE, AND I KNOW WE CAN’T WAIT ALL DAY WITH A 7YR.OLD. BUT I THINK WE CAN DO 2 HOURS BEFORE. PRAY FOR US TO GET IN, PLEASE. WE ARE ALL EXCITED ABOUT THE LINE UP. EVEN MY 13 YR OLD SON WANTS TO COME, SO I THINK THIS WOULD BE A FUN THING TO DO TOGETHER. IT’LL BE IN GOD’S HANDS. THANKS AGAIN.

I can’t wait any longer to go this year. Our youth group gets to go on this Saturday. We all went to the skillet concert a couple months ago and it was an awesome way to bring us into the new year. Our group is so excited. We will be praying for an outstanding showing and no glitches 🙂 always an awesome experience!

Our youth are going on saturday feb 5 to Greensboro had such a great response to this from adults and youth we are chartering a bus it is a 3 1/2 drive and from what I understand a few hours of waiting in line, I am so excited can’t wait to see what God has instore for us this time. Thanks to all the groups for serving the Lord. WE SERVE AN AWESOME GOD!!!!!!
#39 by Austin on February 14, 2011 - 3:15 am
I love Red. I hope that my youth group (in Charlottesville VA) isn’t going to be getting there (Roanoke) too late, because I don’t want to miss it. I hope that it comes a little bit closer to us next year (and I hope that Red will still be a part of it ;D. Oh, and if dates matter, I can’t make it on a Sunday, because I’m stuck at home editing my Pastor’s sermon so that I don’t get behind, because I am largely responsible for a lot of the media that goes on at my church).Thank you for reading this, and I hope that you’ll take my words into consideration for future events.
#40 by Nikki on February 16, 2011 - 6:37 pm
I am so excited of the late entry of Jason Castro to the line up for the pre jam party. His music has really had a great influence on my life and my family. God works in wonderous ways and through Jason has made a difference in my relationship that was damaged with my mom. Thanks to God and thank you Jason Castro!
#41 by Allie on February 16, 2011 - 7:27 pm
When is the Pre-Jam party in N LittleRock? I’m having 6 friends coming to the concert with me for my birthday. Can’t Wait!

Is Red sceduled for Roanoke Virginia?
#44 by Winter Jam Tour on February 17, 2011 - 5:20 pm
Yes – RED will be at the Roanoke, VA show.
#45 by PJ on February 17, 2011 - 3:43 pm
I am so disappointed. The only concert within driving distance was on a Sunday night. I am part of the praise & worship team at our church and there was no question where I belonged that night but sure would have liked to have been at the concert.
#46 by Kayleigh on February 18, 2011 - 3:22 am
Awesome lineup! I wish Tenth Avenue North were there but I am still bursting with excitement. 🙂
#47 by Michelle on February 18, 2011 - 3:37 pm
Wondering if there will be a “mother’s room” or anything like that tonight @ WinterJam in Dallas? We are traveling 3 hours with our youth group, leaving as soon as school’s out. We’ll be getting there right at start time (barring any mishaps). This year we have to bring our small children along as well, including a nursing infant. I was just wondering if anyone knew if there’s a place designated for nursing mom’s, the stroller, etc.?
#48 by Michelle on February 21, 2011 - 4:24 am
Spectacular. I just arrived home from W J 2011 in Kansas City Missouri. Very up lifting and inspirational. What a wonderful experience to be with so very many God loving people. I thank God that we can worship him openly, in this way.
Thank you for an outstanding evening. I am planing ahead, next time…I will buy VIP and take more people with me. I want to share this beautiful experience with as many as possible. God Bless and Thank you.
#49 by Pastor Don on February 21, 2011 - 5:32 pm
Hi:
Loved the concert, But miss the alter calls you use to have at the Maybe Center, and to let you know that the parking lots are really sticking it to people that attend, we paid the amount on the sign and was still given a fifty dollar Parking Violation being told that they charge more than their posted prices for events. Let us know if you move back to the Maybe Center so we can attend again.
Love what you are doing Pastor Don
#50 by candcie on March 4, 2011 - 8:35 pm

Will you consider coming to Arizona in the future?
#58 by Winter Jam Tour on March 18, 2011 - 1:46 pm
We try to add more cities each year so hopefully we can get further West next year.

#59 by Shanky on March 18, 2011 - 12:02 am
Just tried to go to the concert in Reading, PA, which is an hour and half drive. Got there hours early & it sold out before we could get in. There were thousands of people turned away, people who came in buses from hours away. If you are going to any concerts coming up in other cities, just be sure you arrive many hours before.
#60 by Chris on March 18, 2011 - 9:01 pm
We tried to get in but were to late as well. I don’t understand why they don’t presell. Heard alot of people turned away that drove several hours. It was very disappointing to many. Cudos to the bands for coming outside to play a couple songs for the people not able to get in.
#61 by Winter Jam Tour on March 23, 2011 - 4:13 pm
Hey Chris,
I am sorry to hear that you were one of the folks that didn’t get into the show. I wanted to address your question about why we don’t pre-sell tickets for Winter Jam.
The goal for the Tour is to make the show available to as many people as possible by keeping the price as low as possible. One of the main ways that we do this is by not pre-selling tickets saving the cost of printing, box office fees, additional on site personnel, etc as well as making every effort to get the largest venue in the area.
We also put the door price at $10 to allow families and large groups to attend and then take an offering to help cover expenses and to help build the finances to put the tour on the following year. I know that a $10-$20 increase per ticket sounds like the easiest way to cover the expenses when you are talking about paying admission for 1 or 2 people but coming from a family of twelve, I can attest to the fact that a large family or group would struggle to come up with the additional funds to go from $10/person to $30/person.
Thank you for voicing your concerns and giving us a chance to explain our reasoning.
Sarah – Winter Jam
#62 by Justin Beaman on March 19, 2011 - 5:11 pm
I get to go to Winter Jam Tonight i am so excited i never have been before can some one tell me what it is like thanks.
GOD RULES AND THE DEVIL STINKS
#63 by Missy Kay on March 20, 2011 - 4:47 am
Last year in St. Louis, they apparently auctioned off some of the front row seating to the highest bidder. Will that be happening again this year. Will there be any advance tickets sold this year?
#64 by Winter Jam Tour on March 23, 2011 - 4:10 pm
Hey Missy,
I can assure you that we did not auction front row seating to the “highest bidder” last year. We do sell a $50 VIP pass that allows a few hundred people into the venue early to choose their seats before the GA doors are opened.
All proceeds of the VIP Platinum Membership help offset the operating costs of The Winter Jam Tour Spectacular. The revenue from the VIP Platinum Membership helps us maintain a high quality ministry-focused concert experience while offering an incredibly affordable general admission price of $10 at the door.

#65 by niki on March 21, 2011 - 1:42 pm
