True, B96 Pepsi Jingle Bash is currently sold out, but we wouldn't leave you hangin' -- there are a few ways you can get tickets. Right now, we've got a few deals that wouldn't only get you tickets, but also t-shirts and possibly even meet & greet passes with Austin Mahone or B96's very own Stylz and Roman. Find out about those deals here.

Alternatively, you can listen to B96 to find out about any free ticket opportunities that might pop up! You can also stalk their website, their twitter or their facebook -- you never know when a ticket opportunity just might pop up... (I hear Friday is a good time to check...)
