I am a native of Virgina and had never been to the Williamsburg Winery. Based on the advertisement of the show per your page and the winery of an 'intimate' 'acoustic' event I thought it would be the perfect chance to enjoy a great show and venue. Unfortunately, I was sadly mistaken. This event was poorly planned and deceptive in the advertisement. It was NOT intimate nor acoustic. The staff and radio stations were rude and disorganized. The food & drinks were cold, overpriced and not even good. The tent was anything but heated let alone dangerous with all the snow sagging the roof before we even made it into the tent. The only person paying attention to the condition of the tent was the Fire Marshall (thank Heavens). All that aside we paid all this money to see Hanson, who ended up being cut short. The two opening acts over played their time slots and radio station DJ's sat up there wasting time talking nonsense. Let alone didn't know ANYTHING about the band themselves, joked them and yet still promoted the event. Knowing that the tent was already sagging the show should've been rearranged to allow the main artist to play their full set and cut the two openers. As a paying customer I did not come for the openers. I will NEVER attend an event here again and plan to make sure everyone else I know doesn't either. Nor will I listen to these local stations. I'm planning on writing a yelp review on all the radio stations as well as the venue and I am suggesting everyone who endured this misery does the same. Williamsburg Winery, 94.9, 101.3, and 98.1 owes everyone a public apology and needs to refund everyone for this catastrophe. read more

(Automatic 2-star reduction for playing Nickelback.) The Point is pretty much easy listening for the thirties crowd. You're not going to hear anything new or edgy. Pretty much whatever's on the charts at the moment in the Rock/Pop genre: Katie Perry, Pink, Train and lots of Kelly Clarkson. They do a lot of promotions and contests and play the same songs for the most part. It's more about getting listeners for their advertisers than having a good selection of music to attract listeners. There's really no competition for this station in Hampton Roads, which is lame. Thank goodness for iTunes radio and Pandora! read more

UGH. Hampton Roads radio is a sore spot with me in general and if I could have one HRVA wish, it would be to bring back The Coast (I miss you dearly, my old friend). The Point just adds to my dissatisfaction with radio in the area. In fact my friend and I have a running joke that goes something like this 'Soak up the Sun by Sheryl Crow is new music on The Point' because they used to actually run commercials like that. Songs that had been out for six months were still considered 'new music'. It's all Rock/Pop which is fine if it wasn't the same 10 songs over and over. I think The Point is about as safe (and boring) as you can get with radio. Next station, please! I really don't listen to the radio much anymore, I stick to my iPod or even CDs. read more

94.9 is your typical grocery store music/ elevator--music for everyone. With soft tunes and love songs ruling the waves, you can't go wrong when tuning into The Point. The station for Jack Johnson, John Mayer and Black Eyed Peas fans alike, The Point never disappoints with a nice hummer, toe tapper or from the gut belter. Nothing too trendy and nothing too classic, 94.9 gives you the modern contemporary adult classics mixed in with a few hipper tunes that will make the older set feel tuned in. read more

Dan Johnson The Rachel Platten concert in Williamsburg, Va on June 12th was nothing but a huge disappointment. This was put on by 94.9 The Point and the Williamsburg winery. It was suppose to start at 1:00pm and end at 5:00pm. The tickets were $45, VIP $75 and $125. This was to include three groups playing till about 4:00pm and then Rachel Platten performing till 5:00pm. After the official concert another performer was to perform only for the VIP ticket holders ($75 & $125) from 5:00pm until. The $45 ticket included a wine glass from the Winery. The VIP $75 and $125 tickets included the glass and one free glass of wine. My husband and I bought the VIP $75 tickets. We arrived at the winery about 12:20pm after an hour drive looking forward to a great show. The concert started about 1:15pm instead of 1:00pm as the first performer was still tuning the instruments. We listened to three groups (nothing special) and was waiting for Rachel Platten to come on. It was a little over 4:00 by then. Out comes a man with his guitar that says he will be killing about 7 to 12 minutes. He starts singing Irish pub songs and kept singing for everybody to drink up and get another glass of wine. Of course that was exactly what people were already doing. The people around us were on their fourth or fifth glass and yes, I do realize we were at a winery. They did not need encouragement. This was a prescription for drunken drivers to kill more innocent people! This man stayed on the pub songs for at least 30 minutes. 94.9 came on stage and said there was a problem with Rachel Platten's arrival but she was en route. After the pub songs they decided to put on the girl performer that was suppose to perform for the VIP ticket holders at the after concert party. So we sat and listened to this girl sing. Her songs were really slutty. In fact, this girl actually warned us she considered herself a "Slutty Girl". No argument from me. She was the extra they gave the VIP ticket holders. Well I would never pay an extra $30 for her. As it was everybody got to enjoy this extra. It did not seem like this performer would be on a ticket with Rachel Platten the "I'll stand by you" girl. She performed for about 30 minutes and once again they said Rachel Platten was still en route but would be there shortly. In between all these performances there were 20 to 30 minute breaks. People started leaving. We left at 5:50 as my feet were swollen from the 94 degree heat and sitting in the heat from 12:30 to 5:50 was too much for a seventy year old. Also we had an hour drive to get home. We don't see that great at night any more and that is why we were glad the concert was to be over by 5:00. Many people left before us. We stayed because my husband, that never wants to go to a concert, really wanted to see Rachel Platten. We had not been to a concert in years and was really excited about this one. I don't know how many times 94.9 the point said Rachel Platten was en route. Come to find out she did not show until after 8:00pm. Remember she was the headliner. 94.9 The Point should have been honest from the beginning of the concert. When we got home around 8:00pm we checked twitter and Rachel Platten herself tweeted 6 hours earlier that she did not think she would make the Williamsburg Va concert because of airline difficulties. They had to know around 2:00pm or 3:00pm if she made it to Va. it would be well after 5:00pm. If she was a good person and a responsible person she would have made sure she arrived in Va the night before the 1:00pm concert or at the least arrived in the early morning hours of the day of the concert. That is being responsible. On top of this, to add insult to injury 94.9 The Point's website stated Rachel Platten had made it to the Va concert and was on time. What a lie!!! 94.9 The Point are nothing but scammers. The only things good about this was the winery is beautiful, the VIP tent kept some of the heat off of us and there was a small breeze. Also my so called free glass of wine which really cost me $75 was wonderful but not that wonderful. I RATE THIS AS A SCAM. Do not go to 94.9 The Point concerts. I want a refund. I think everyone should get a refund. We came to hear Rachel Platten (the headliner). I would not have paid to hear the other performers. Rachel Platten should ensure the scheduling of her concerts allow plenty of time for traveling and getting to her scheduled concerts at least the night before or very early morning of the day of concert. She has given an ample number of concerts to understand how it works. Rachel, only schedule what you can get to on time. Do not be greedy and schedule too many concerts as this will surely happen again. Respect the people that pay to see you as they won't support you again. Rachel, my husband is seventy, diabetic & disabled. He had 8 major surgeries in the last 5 years. This was one of our 50th wedding gifts to each other. Lillie Johnson read more
