What makes the Fort Worth stop special?

Fort Worth’s show marks the kickoff of the national iHeartRadio Jingle Ball Tour, which will travel to Los Angeles, Chicago, Detroit, New York and other major cities.

The Fort Worth stop also has a community focus. Each year, 106.1 KISS FM uses the Jingle Ball to give back through its official charity partner, Kidd’s Kids, a nonprofit that helps families of children with life-altering or life-threatening conditions.

The Kidd Kraddick Morning Show (formerly Kidd Kraddick in the Morning) is based in Dallas at home station KISS FM. Host Kidd Kraddick founded the Kidd’s Kids nonprofit in 1991 and was actively involved with the organization until his death in 2013.

One dollar from every Jingle Ball ticket sold goes directly to the organization to fund unforgettable experiences for those families.

How can I get tickets?

The concert is sold out on Ticketmaster, but there are a few resale options available.

Tickets on StubHub start at $46, and prices vary depending on seat location, so expect to pay more for lower-level or floor seats.

Fans are encouraged to arrive early for parking and security screening, which can take time given the event’s size.

Be sure to buy only from verified resale platforms to avoid scams.
