The closing date in Houston on Saturday, May 5, marked Casting Crowns' highest-grossing and most well-attended show ever with 16,000+ concert-goers. Director of KSBJ Special Events, Chris Farnsworth, who promoted the event, comments, "KSBJ Radio was thrilled to host Casting Crowns' 'Come To The Well' tour this weekend. The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavillion was the perfect venue to see over 16,000 members of the Gulf Coast community come together to make this the biggest audience of Casting Crowns' career."

A final tally of tour numbers for both fall and spring legs indicate cumulative attendance exceeding 370,000 with 40 sold-out dates making Casting Crowns' "Come To The Well" tour one of the most successful Christian artist tours of all time.
