History of the Jingle Ball
The first iHeartRadio Jingle Ball was held in 1996 at Madison Square Garden in collaboration with New York’s pop radio station Z100. Over the next few decades, it became a marquee holiday event celebrating rising stars and chart-topping hits. A few of the first-time invitees this year include Alex Warren and MOLIY, whose 2024 hit “Shake It to the Max (Fly)” went viral on TikTok and charted at No. 1 on the UK Afrobeats.
Other rising stars you might see on the iHeartRadio Jingle Ball Tour include Myles Smith, Olivia Dean and Ravyn Lenae.

How to choose your city and date
- Prioritize artists you love. Rotating lineups mean headliners change by city. If you want Ed Sheeran, target New York or Boston, then compare with TicketSmarter’s Ed Sheeran tickets and the Ed Sheeran North American Stadium Tour feature for context. If you are into Conan Gray, look at LA, Detroit or D.C., and browse Conan Gray tickets for his solo dates too.
- Consider venue experience. NYC’s Madison Square Garden is a classic holiday backdrop. For trip planning, use TicketSmarter’s Madison Square Garden event guide and the Madison Square Garden events page. Boston travelers can check the TD Garden event guide, and D.C. fans can compare dates at Capital One Arena.
- Factor in broadcast plans. The MSG show on Dec. 12 will be recorded for an ABC and Hulu presentation, which can be a bonus if you want a TV moment. ABC confirmed it will air the iHeartRadio Jingle Ball 2025 special (airing Dec. 17, 2025) with next-day streaming on Hulu, expanding viewing options for fans unable to attend in person.
Seating and ticket tips for big arena shows
- Buy early when you can. Prices tend to rise with demand, and tiered pricing rewards early buyers.
- Keep checking the week of the show. New standard seat inventory sometimes gets released close to showtime.
- Compare primary and verified resale options. Resale listings can be 50 percent or more above face value. Industry analysis projects continued rapid growth in the secondary ticket market, which helps explain why resale listings and marked-up prices remain common for high-demand shows. TicketSmarter hosts verified resale listings and protects buyers with platform policies.
- Choose seats for your viewing style. Floor seats offer energy but not always the clearest view. Many fans prefer lower side sections or slightly off-center front rows.
- General Admission can be a vibe. GA areas often create an immersive crowd experience and can be a flexible option in multi-artist shows.
- Plan your arrival. Pre-book parking where possible, review public transit, and use expedited entry services if offered. Arriving early reduces stress and helps you get settled before the first set.
