Jingle Ball Line-Up 2012

[well]UPDATE: Check out the lineup for the 2014 Jingle Ball! [/well]

The Jingle Ball line-up has been announced, and it’s official: z100 has gotten the hottest pop acts you can find. The ten acts playing at the annual headliner in Madison Square Garden on December 7 will be:

• Jason Mraz
• Ne-Yo
• Olly Murs
• B.o.B.
• Taylor Swift
• The Wanted
• Fun.
• Ed Sheeran
• One Direction
• and Justin Bieber

The pop gods have smiled down upon Jingle Ball and blessed them with their presence. Tickets to this hot event aren’t cheap, but most would say are worth it (Justin Bieber and One Direction in the same place? The true apocalypse has begun). Older pop lovers will be grateful for the relief that the likes of Jason Mraz and Ed Sheeran will undoubtedly provide between boybands and heartthrobs.

Besides being in the actual theater, there are also other ways to watch the Jingle Ball: you can buy $51 seats, the so-called “Worst Seats in the House.” They are behind the stage, and you can only view the concert by monitor, but hey! You get a cool poster afterwards. Also, z100 will be hosting a simulcast in the Theatre at Madison Square Garden with special performances and hosts the same night.

If you don’t have tickets, don’t fret. TickPick already has a selection of tickets up for sale, and there’s a month and a half until the concert.

If you do have tickets, you better hold on to those suckers. Make sure you’re brushed up on all of the acts before you go to avoid violent run-ins with teenaged fans – only mildly joking.
