We've already told you the lineup for the inaugural 93.3 Jingle Ball, Dec. 13 at the St. Pete Times Forum: The Fray, Sean Kingston, Jordin Sparks, Pitbull, 3OH!3, the Ting Tings and Boys Like Girls.

But those aren't the only celebs coming. Oh, far from it.

Three more performers have been added to the lineup: Jason Derulo, who just scored a huge hit with the Imogen Heap-sampling Whatcha Say; Ke$ha, who's got a hot new single in TiK ToK; and Iyaz, a protege of Sean Kingston.

And that's not all: 93.3 FLZ is hosting a meet-and-greet area dubbed the Metro PCS Celebrity Club. All the mainstage artists are scheduled to appear, as are some other unexpected guests: Grammy nominee Leona Lewis, above; Paradiso Girls, 'N Sync's Chris Kirkpatrick and more. Plus, Bradenton pop-punk faves We the Kings will perform an acoustic set.

Celebrity Club tickets are $89.33 (not including fees), but all performing artists are scheduled to make an appearance, so if you're a big fan, maybe this can be your early Christmas present. Regular concert tickets are $19.33, $33.33, $59.33, $89.33 and $129.33 for VIP. (Click here for ticket details.) 

But there are ticket deals to be found this week. Through Thanksgiving, 93.3 is offering a 4-pack of tickets for $60 plus fees. On Black Friday, the station is offering no service fees on tickets purchased at the St. Pete Times Forum box office from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. And if anyone's looking for a fun place to hold their annual holiday party, there are corporate discounts available. Call (813) 301-2500 for more info.

50rockWhy would anyone voluntarily attempt to see 50 concerts at 50 different venues in a single summer? Jay Cridlin shrugged and thought: Eh, why not.
