NOTE REGARDING DAY-OF-CONCERT EMAILS: Day-of-concert emails may or may not be received, so please do CALL rather than email with your ticket needs on the day of a show!
CROSSROADS' SEATING typically is an intimate, coffeehouse-style, tables-and-chairs arrangement. On the occasional night when we expect a sell-out crowd, the tables go away and we can seat as many as 150 in a concert-seating arrangement.

HOW THINGS WORK AT CROSSROADS [Please note this info is about to be updated as the way things work is CHANGING! So please do inquire when you call to purchase tickets.]
First off, FYI -- Crossroads is not a restaurant or bar. As a courtesy to our audience, we provide bottled water, soft drinks, and hot coffee on a donation basis. Guests are welcome to bring wine into our venue. No large coolers please; no room! And one final note as mentioned above -- if you purchase a reserved seat ticket, you are always guaranteed a RESERVED SEAT. Most concert nights that includes being seated at a table, but on certain sell-out nights -- no tables.
Thanks to all of you who show up and do your part to help keep music aLIVE and well in East Texas.
See you in happenin' downtown Winnsboro - THE CROSSROADS OF EAST TEXAS.
