Why the Harvest Crusade Will Require Tickets This Year

The Harvest Crusade Will Require Tickets This Year

If you haven’t heard the news yet: This year’s Harvest Crusade on July 11 will require tickets—but the event is still free. Tickets became available on June 8 at 8 AM PT.

While this may be different from our usual “first come, first served” approach to seating, we believe this will make for an even better crusade experience.

Tickets Will Now Be Required Due to Past Events Reaching Capacity

The Harvest Crusades have existed for over three decades now. In fact, when we first began, I was in my late thirties! And now I’m in my 70s. 

But in all its years, I’ve never witnessed anything quite like our recent events. If you’ve been to a Harvest Crusade recently, you’ve seen just how many people pour in. Or you may have even seen the viral video from last year, when the entire Angel Stadium audience sang “The Blessing.”  

Ten million views. This video has officially gone viral.
Why? Honestly… your guess is as good as mine.

It’s 45,000 voices singing The Blessing, led by Kari Jobe Carnes and Cody Carnes. And here’s my take:
It felt like a little glimpse of Heaven.

We’ve seen so many people arrive that our stadium venues have reached capacity, forcing us to turn away thousands.

Because these events have seen such an overwhelming response, tickets will be required this year. Everyone will have an assigned seat.

With a ticket requirement, every person with a ticket can be confident they will have a seat ready for them upon arrival.

Tickets Are Limited and Will Go Fast

Of course, this also means seating is limited, and we expect tickets will go very quickly. 

So I encourage you: If you know someone who needs to hear the gospel, invite them today and grab them a ticket before they’re gone.

If You Secured a Ticket But Can No Longer Attend, You Have Options

If, for some reason, you received a ticket but can no longer attend the Harvest Crusade, we ask that you take the steps to ensure your seat is not wasted. You can learn more about how to do that here.

This is important, because each ticket represents a potential soul that needs to be saved. If a seat goes empty, that’s one person who will not have the opportunity to hear the gospel.

The Harvest Crusade Will Still Be a Free Event 

While tickets are now required, the Harvest Crusade will remain a free event. 

The gospel is free to hear at Harvest Crusades thanks to the generosity of our donors. If you’d also like to partner with us in making these events happen each year, you can do so here!
