Looks like I've got a misery of choice for once: Fayetteville, Greensboro, or Charlotte.
It's a darn shame I hate GA seating so much. Last time I did WinterJam, Doug and I were 15th in line, and still ended up on the sideline seating because of my bum knee and the fact that nobody listened when the folks in charge said "NO RUNNING!".
On the bright side, since tickets aren't sold in advance, I don't have to make up my mind about ANY of them until day of.

Fayetteville is on a Saturday which means people can camp out really early! Bummer. Fayetteville loves them some Winter Jam. They'll max capacity before everyone's gotten in! 9,000! I'll be there though. I think I'll make nice nice with one of the managers who is an alumni of my University and was a guest speaker at one of my classes! "Not too proud to beg"! LOL
It's at a different venue this year in Tulsa. Normally it's at the Mabee Center at ORU, but this year it's at the BOK Center which is bigger. Our's is on a Thursday, and I'm usually off on Wednesday and Thursday, so if that's still the case come February then I can get there early and get some pretty good seats.

Charlotte show is at Time Warner Cable Arena - home to the Charlotte Bobcats & where they are having Star Wars In Concert.
I'm not sure what to think about this. I've never been to a Winder Jam. Sure, I love the idea of seeing Third Day. But if they're in there with 7 other bands then that means less Third Day. Oh well, I'll take what I can get.

Looks like the official emails about the WinterJam VIP tickets have gone out.
Just a heads up about the seating before anyone else coughs up $50 for something they might not be all that happy with. Fortunately, I've never been one to hand over $50 for a seat before knowing where it's going to be, so I emailed them to find out what the scoop was. Glad I did. The answers I got pretty much guaranteed that I would NOT be coughing up that $50.

Each venue is different, but the VIP sections will be the first sections on the side that are not obstructed view seats. As a reference, if you look at the Greensboro Coliseum online ( http://www.greensborocoliseum.co m/...tage_large.gif ), it would be either section 126 or 108 (or possibly the front half of both). The doors for VIP will open 1 hour before the main doors and it’s limited seating, so if you arrived around the time the VIP doors open, you should be able to get a great seat in the VIP section.
Carol brought up a good point after I posted that for her, once the VIPs are in, can they not sit anywhere they like after that? So I emailed them again and got the following response today.

There is nothing to prevent you from sitting outside the VIP section (the first 10 rows on the floor will be cleared right before the doors open), but you need to be aware that the only seats that will be protected throughout the evening are the VIP seats. If you choose to sit on the floor, you’re running the risk of someone plopping down in your seat if you get up for a beverage, t-shirt or restroom break. It’s totally up to you as long as you’re not in one of the first 10 rows on the floor.
So, for your $50, you can sit in the reserved "VIP" section sideline at the back half of the stage, or if you'd rather see the view from the floor, row 11 awaits you.
I was all set to get the VIP tickets since I hate GA seating so much, but when I saw the seating options, I just went thanks but no thanks.
*sigh* three shows reasonably close to me for a change, and it looks like I'll be skipping the whole lot of them. Oh well.
I'm gonna be there!
