Over the years, KROQ's Almost Acoustic Christmas has seen massive headlining names. Although resale ticket prices have generally declined since 2011, 2016's lineup is pushing prices on the market. As of now, 2012 still remains the concert's biggest year, thanks to help from headliners Linkin Park, Bush, and Rise Against.
