This was a fun event for my teenager daughter, but really it was way to loud. 4-5 hours of the extremely loudness can be very damaging to the eardrums. Please be considerate of your audience in the future. There is no need to blast the music to get the same quality of sound. Also, five hours is too long!

Every performer was great. The concert was not too long or too short and it was a family show!! When there were no performers on stage, the DJ played ALL of the hits. It was a great show and we had a great time.

It was awesome to see Nelly doing the songs that everyone loves. It was good to have him back. My daughter loved Justin Beiber. She was so excited to see him. He did a great job. All the performers were really good.

Event was great, performers rocked. NOT HAPPY that whend oors opend the shirt vendors were not open and then they ran out of t-shirts. Vendors should be prepared if there is a sell out crowd. Bad planning and very dissapointing. Parking and the system to get out of All State Arena is a nightmare.

THE SHOW WAS AWSOME, ME AND MY GIRLS LOVED IT, I WOULD TAKE THEM AGAIN IF I COUL GET A CHANCE, MY 9YEAR OLD COULD NOT SIT DOWN SHE WAS SO EXCITED TO BE THERE, AND MY 13YR OLD STARTED CRYING, BECAUSE SHE LOVES JUSTIN BIEBER, WE DIDN'T HAVE GOOD SEATS BUT WE LOVED ALL THESINGERS AND PROFORMERS!!!!!!! IT WAS SO WONDERFUL?

I think B96 could have done a better job of getting more and better performers. Looking at NY's Jingle Ball, that lineup was much better than Jingle Bash. Also, the volume was so loud, it was almost distorted. I've been to many concerts at Allstate and the by far this was the loudest. It didn't have to be that loud.

I thougt the concert was a blast. I've been to many concerts, but my first B96 concert. All the acts were great...not a big Justin Bieber fan, but it's prolly because I'm not a female teenager. I'm a B96 fan for years and I'll be there every year going forward!

I am from South Bend and traveled to Rosemont for the Jinglebash. I went to see G-Eazy & the Chainsmokerz in particular. And let me say, they put on a show! I do have a complainant.... the seating was awful. Other than that, I had an absolutely amazing.

Great mix of artists, with Britney Spears and One Republic being the stand outs. Considering the number of artists that played, they kept things moving along really well. I liked that they had 2 stages set up at any given time, setting one up while an artist played, then rotating and having another artist come on while they set up for the next act. It kept things moving along really nicely, with minimal down time. The down time that did exist was filled well with music videos, DJs, and radio personalities. I thought it was really well done.

I think the show is a great way to see all the hits from various artists. If you are on a budget sitting far away is good enough. The change time between artists is very minimal. It is a great activity to do with your friends and the Allstate arena is a nice location. You can park and then go have dinner walking distance somewhere near by. The sets are pretty short so I wouldn't recommend this if you specifically want to see one artist only. Again, its just a great way to see a bunch of artists play the songs you like all in one place.

Some performances were very well done however others were boring. partially because I only knew maybe one tune from those particular artists. wonderful idea, not exactly a show for somebody who doesn't follow popular music.

Went for onerepublic who is nothing new like any of the other bands or artists there. Britney lip synced and didn't play oops or baby one more time. Chainsmokers are glorified djs and I felt as if I should have been at a rave instead of a concert. G easy terrible. Everyone else just okay.

Overall show was amazing. G-Easy was completely inappropriate for the target audience. He should have been pulled off the stage. I needed to leave during his set with my daughter and there were several parent/child groups in the hallways and very upset at his content.

Overall it was a great concert! Every artist stepped up to the plate and put on a good show. Britney was the stand out. She put on one hell of a show. Still not sure why Britney did not close the show. She was clearly the biggest name on the roster. After Britney performed about 25% of the audience left.

The singers were really good and overall it was a good concert, however, I had seat behind the stage hoping for an open stage, which it was not. Very disappointed with this, I still paid 50 dollars and had to see the whole concert through the big screens, only seeing the heads of the singers sometimes.

It was so fun to sit in an audience of over 18,000 people, and have everyone sing to every song, it was amazing! All the stars put on an amazing performance as always, and some like Joe Jonas and G-Eazy even interacted with the crowd and ran up and down the aisles! At the end of the whole show The Chainsmokers really got everyone hyped up and loud and overall, just to see them in person like this was amazing!

Every group and artist that participated in the Jingle Bash was great. Seeing Pentatonix in person was incredible!!! 5 Seconds of Summer got the show popping from the beginning, while Jason Derulo and Demi Lavoto were fantastic closing out the show.

Pentatonics advertised this event as if they were the main attraction but they were 5th in a lineup of 8 or 9. The sounds level was deafening to the point of possible DNA DAMAGE. We stayed for 1.5 "songs" during which all agreed we had to depart or risk being permanently injured. The box office was uninterested in the fact that we came solely to see the pentatonics.

So fun, and I like when there's more than one act! 5sos and Shawn Mendes were the best (<3). That one thing that made it only four stars was Jason Derulo. I thought he had to much time on stage. It was only fun the first half an hour, the other one were pretty boring.

I originally went to see 5 Seconds of Summer. I was still very excited for everyone else though. I loved everyone there, i just wish everyone was on for a more even amount of time. Jason Derulo was on for 50 minutes but 5SOS was on for 25, and OMI was on for 10. overall, it was a great night

The concert was so amazing and fun. They had an AWESOME line-up! I traveled from Detroit just for this show. I traveled mainly for 5 seconds of summer and was slightly confused as to why they were on stage first when they had no place to be until the next day. The reason I'm giving it 4 stars is because the venue's wifi was absolutely horrible. I would try to message my friends to see where they were and none of my texts went through. All of the messages that I was SUPPOSED to receive, I received the monday after that saturday. The venue should make their wifi public instead of private. Other than that, I can't wait until next year!!!

Overall a great show. Turn over time was short and all of the artists performed well. Tickets stated that doors opened at 5. Didn't actually open until 5:30. It was cold waiting outside. Once doors opened, the line was quick. Staff was great. OMI was a little disappointing, but the other acts were great!

I bought these tickets for Christmas for myself and my 17-year-old daughter. We were excited for lineup. My daughter is a huge fan of Shawn Mendez and G-Eazy and I was excited to see Britney Spears and One Republic. I was a little disappointed that this concert (especially G-Eazy) was so vulgar. For his first song in his set G-Eazy sang "B*tch You Got Me F*cked Up" and the words were displayed on the big screen. Listen, to be honest if I was going to a G-Eazy concert I would have excepted this and that's fine. But this wasn't a G-Eazy concert. It's supposed to be a family-friendly show and there were many little kids in attendance.

This was my third year going to the Jingle Bash, and it was worth it as always. The line up was great. Some people left towards the end, when Pharrell went on, but I'm glad I stayed! Ariana Grande came last year too and she was just as amazing. Also 5SOS was probably my favorite act - it was my second time seeing them in concert and they always make it fun.

10,000 screaming girls, bring earplugs as the sound of them and the very loud music will make your ears ring. Love the Dj's. Lil Jon really impressed me and Martin Garrix was really good, would have loved a longer set from him. Amazing light, pyro, CO2 special effects, confetti. Left during Pharrels act and I was not the only one as half my section left before me...boring. Ariana Grande was ok, her voice was so-so. Rixton and MK were very talented. 5SOS were ok but they had some sound trouble. Overall a great show were you can see a variety of artists. I will be back next year hoping to see another big house DJ. OK venue with most seats in the arena being good, I was way up in sec 215 row S and they were decent seats. I wanted to buy a T-shirt as a souviner but the designs sucked. They also have guys selling last years t-shirts in the parking lot while you wait in line. Don't buy them! Very convenient location next to the ohare airport and Residence inn hotel, flew in and stayed there and walked a block to the venue. Lines form early to enter.

This was my first concert in America and I have to say it was extremly well set up, spacious and easy to move around. Im not one to be stuck in the middle of the golden circle being squashed and not been able to come and go as i please. We got upper level seats, nobody in front of us, the bathrooms and bear stand were behind us and always empty what more could i ask for? I only came for the last part of the show for the good acts and man was it good! I now have no voice and my calves still hurt from dancing and jumping to the music. Good vibes! All depends whos playing next year I shall be going.

As a Holiday celebration myself and two close friends purchased tickets to the 2010 B96 Jingle Bash for the sole purpose of being in the presence of multi-dimensional creative artist "Nelly". A rare opportunity to see/hear him perform live, what a treat. The concert was filled with young teens, there I'm sure there to gush over the young Justin Bieber, however the crowd responded to the ever sexy Nelly exouding nothing but pure masculine strenghth. While all the perfomers were well received, "Nelly's" performance with the St Lunatics and other newcomers was on point! If only he'd perform for us live and in person more often.

Wanted to go to this as a kid...should have went as a kid because it wasn't as fun as what it would have been now that I'm in my late 20s. I got a really bad headache from all the lights and main lights going on and off between the different singers and had to leave before taylor swift. Would have liked to pay for 3 big named stars instead of including all of the new upcoming. It was a little long and boring between sets. Would not attend again but for younger concert goers with a large group of friends would be perfect.

I went to this show for Taylor Swift, but was plenty entertained by the Backstreet Boys, Logic, Sabrina Carpenter, and Khalid. BSB May have surpassed Taylor as my favorite performance that night- they were incredible! It definitely felt like the BSB concert but anyways. The venue is fine, parking is a nightmare upon departure and it would have been nice if they planned for the show to be in the round so that all seating areas could see, but the way they did it was okay because there wasn t a bunch of wait time between acts. Would go again, depending on line up!

This was a great way for my sister to show her nieces that she is an awesome aunt. For my six and eight year old daughters, their Xmas gift was a ticket to their first concert. Our seats were terrible but they loved every second of being there and of being together. We showed my kids how important it is to spend time together, especially at a super-fun event! We are looking forward to making this a Christmas tradition.

Drove from Michigan to Illinois to attend this and would easily do it again. The excitement was felt from the crowd to the artists. Loved the energy that filled the room.

The line up was Awesome! The stage was Awesome! The Performers was Awesome! the sound engineer not so much, it was crank up so loud the speakers couldn't handle it, it did not sounded too good, it was just "loud". Over all it was great! Highly recommend! "Allstate Arena" however...... SUCKED! they were 30 mins late opening the doors, they shut down half of the arena after the concert, so the only way to get to our exit is go all the way around, than there is no one directing traffic out side, no idea which way the exit was, drivers are just cutting EVERYWHERE, it was a big mess. So to sum it all up, Jingle Bash was great, but if they doing it again in "Allstate Arena" we might pass next time.

The B96 Jingle bash is a show I've attended before. I always have a wonderful show. But the tickets as well as performances were kinda misleading. I bought tickets for "side of stage" and I was ok with that. I figured I would still be able to see. I was shocked when I got to the venue that I was more of a "behind the stage" ticket. It was upsetting to say the least. Also when this concert was announced it was announced that 5 Seconds of Summer was one of two headliners along with Demi lovato. Again to my surprise 5SOS was not only the first performers but only played 5 songs, while others played more that weren't announced as headliners. Other than that the show was amazing. And I will more than likely go again next year. But I was disappointed as to how things went down.

This was a great concert. I am not a fan of big venues but Allstate is kind of a happy medium. Our seats were great and the talent was on point. I, of course, could have gone without the screaming teenage girls but they were expected. Not recommended if you only want to see one act, as the sets were shorter (also expected) but a great way to see lots of fun acts at once. One suggestion: Please make parking requirements clear either when ordering or confirming orders. Allstate accepts cash only and that was a surprise to an infrequent visitor like me.

The show was amazing. My friend and I traveled about three hours to see it, and it was worth every penny. Ariana killed it, and was much better than I expected. 5sos was very good, wish they had a longer set. MKTO and Rixton ranked about the same. Martin Garrix's set seemed a little too long for my liking but I wish Lil Jon was on for longer, He was the highlight of the show for me for sure! Pharrell should not have closed the show, I was expecting a lot more from him. Not even Happy was that good. Felt bad for him because a lot of people left after his first three songs.

There was to much time in between the performers. They need to cut a lot of the dj's out and make the show a little bit shorter.

I had high expectations for my first jingle bash but it did not turn out as I would have hoped. Too many DJ's playing same music. Played too long. Got bored waiting for Pharrell.

This was a awesome night. 5 Seconds of Summer, MKTO, Arianda Grande, Rixton & Pharrell Williams & Martin Garrix were great. One DJ was enough. Wish the regular bands could have played more than 3 or 4 songs. Definitely would go again.

Too much down time and felt like I was at a night club with a DJ. If it wasn't for 5 Seconds of Summer you would not have had the crowd you did... Left after thy played, your event was poorly planned and could have been more entertaining and exciting. Do not plan on attending next year!

Most expensive seats are on floor, but my kid didn't see any performers. Very unhappy for the price. Talked to another lady who paid 30 dollars and she moved seats to lower bowl and had great seats. She moved from upper section to lower section and had great view. I may has well put headphones on my kid, because she didn't see a thing.

5 plus hours was really long! My 11 yr old wanted to see Ariana Grande and was disappointed that her performance was so short. I was not a fan of the B96 DJ performing for so long before the show resumed. Too many DJ's in a row before Pharrell.

Would have been better if seats did not have obstructed view of the stage

Unfortunately I purchased these tickets when the "performers" announced only were a few--like Pitbull and Jason Derulo, also before I heard the line up for Kiss103.5 Jingle Ball and their children's concert featuring Selena Gomez. My grandchildren weren't as excited with the acts they saw here at b96 jingle bash and the worst disappointment was not seeing PITBULL!

Took all three of my teenagers to the show and had a fabulous time. Kinda bummed Pit Bull couldn't preform as they told us he got snowed in , in New York. My son is a ROCK and ROLLer but loved the techno DJ. All had a great night. Thanks

My friend and I had a good time at the show but HOW disappointing that Pitbull had to miss due to weather on the east coast. Someone said that Ariana Grande had been at the same show at Madison Square Garden the previous night, but SHE made it in on time. :( Pitbull was the main reason we got tickets!

great concert. Don't use too much lighting next time & don't give out those light up sticks they ruin the sight

The artist we came to see, Pitbull didnt even show up, the boy bands were terrible! Armin Van Buren was the shows only bright spot for me...

Awesome concern except Pitbull didn't show up. I was very disappointed. and Miley Cyrus video was too graphic for tween audience

When you walked in the door before the actual event, all you could hear and feel was the crazy loud bass that was thumping through your body. After a while you get used to, and the first few acts were fantastic! You really got to rock out and dance in your seats. But after Jason Derulo, someone turned up the volume and I had to step out into the hallway because it was so loud and I had to cover my ears. By the end, I had a headache and my ears hurt. Worth it so much if someone would just turn the volume down. I may be called as having "sensitive ears" but I really hated the volume. Most likely not coming back.
