At Believers Companion, we are committed to helping you enjoy your experience. This is why we have put together some tips that can help you enjoy the evening:
#1 Leave Your House Early
As I mentioned, The Experience is the biggest gospel music concert in the world! Yes, you read that right! What that means is that a multitude of people around the world attends the concert! I am not exaggerating, people travel from near and far to the venue. And, with the Experience returning to the TBS this year, the crowd will be massive!
For you to get a very comfortable seat, we advise that you leave your house early.
#2 If It Is Possible, Leave Your Car At Home
This one is dicey, but, the best advice will be for you to order a ride to the venue. Due to the number of people, traffic and getting a parking space is always a thug of war. Don't get me wrong, there is always a fantastic traffic team, and enough space to park your call. However, for ease, we will advise you to leave your car at home.
#3 You Don't Have to Come With Your Home-Made Food
One of the most discouraging factors for leaving your comfort zone is the worry about food and water outside of your house. At the Experience, you are always spoilt with options on what to buy.
#4 Do Not Forget to Come With Your Friends
If you've been attending the Experience alone, you've been missing out! Attending the Experience with your cliques is a remarkable thing you don't want to sleep on. With friends, you will not just worship together, but, create memories. Memories you can keep close to your heart for years and years to come.
#5 Be Ready to Meet New Friends
One of the most remarkable things about this much-awaited event is its ability to bring together a cross-section of people. If you are a shy person, the Experience is the perfect spot to meet new friends. Come with an open heart, your heart of worship, and of course your dancing shoes.
