I admittedly only bought tickets to Jingle Ball because I didn’t get a presale code for Olivia Rodrigo. I almost backed out of going because it felt like a lot of effort for a 30 minute set. Thankfully, I decided to head up to LA at the last minute! It was SO much fun and I’ll definitely be back!!!
The show was great! The only thing wrong was the large long speakers that completely block the view from the section I was seating at which was section 209. That was disappointing.
Almost everything about this show was stressful. First off, when we arrived at a pretty decent time (45 minutes before doors opened), the parking was supposedly “sold out,” and we were forced to park at Sofi for a whopping $60, and we had to do a longer walk. On the ticket, it was listed that the doors were supposed to open at 6:30, however they did not open until 6:45, which left everyone outside waiting in the cold. Once we finally got inside, I noticed the view from our seats was partially blocked by some big speakers that should have raised up higher. The tickets that we paid for were supposed to be an unobstructed view, so we were very disappointed to see large speakers blocking about 25% of our view. Additionally, there was some glass with advertising from the VIP area obstructing our view. Then, the amount of commercials played from the moment we walked in to the moment we walked out were insane. Obviously, I understand there needs to be some advertisement, but it felt like there were more commercials than actual entertainment. The highlights of the night were AJR, Niall Horan, and Olivia Rodrigo. AJR, Niall, and Olivia are who my star is for. Everything else was a stressful experience.
Very fun, however the music and bass were WAAAYYY to loud. You could feel the bass reverberating throughout your entire body the whole night.
I really didn’t know what to expect with this iHeart jingle ball. Then I found out it was going to be about 4 1/2 hours, and I’ve been too long concerts, and I thought oh my God what have I gotten myself into? I took my daughter to see all of her favorite artist and none of my favorite artists. Again I thought oh my God what have I gotten myself into? But it ended up being one of the most enjoyable thing that I have seen in a long time. There were only a couple of vans I didn’t like, but they only were on for 30 minutes, so it really didn’t matter. There was intermission between each show, which gave you time to kind of relax, and you got to see a famous entertainer or commentator so that was really awesome. I was on the floor which was an awesome place and got to shake flavor flavors, hand, and Flo Rida. So all in all an awesome show, I will probably go back again and take her every year until she graduates high school simply amazing!
Tbh I won these tickets and they were the best seats ever and also it was really fricken fun like the most fun I’ve had in months jingle ball really brings people together since all the artists have different genres and music and show case themselves differently would love to go to more definitely
Awesome concert, sound was great. Best one I have been to…
This review is mainly for the venue (Kia Forum), the performers/performances were fine. Parking price was outrageous, $80 and it wasn't even preferred parking. Had to go through security 3 times because one of my tickets wouldn't scan, and I had to walk from entrance/gate C to the box office just for them to say we had to walk back to the original scanner person because "that's how the tickets work"and they thought we brought extra people to sneak in. When my group and I got back to the original security line, one of the workers claimed it was closed and that we would have to walk back to where we just were (the box office area), only to learn that he didn't even have the authority to tell guests to leave the line.
I decided to put surprise my kids to take them to the jingle ball. At the time of purchase, I did not realize that these tickets would be the back side of the stage. I had high hopes that at at least, being backstage, you could watch the performance from behind. However, the stage was closed at all times. You were literally watching the performance on a screen. No different than if we would’ve been home, watching it on the TV only we could hear the rest of the crowd that could see it freaking out. It was beyond disappointing.
It was blast it Wes so much fun the food was fun and free stuff
