Slayer's farewell tour is taking place this May and June and will feature support from Anthrax, Testament, Lamb Of God, and Behemoth.
The tour is hitting pretty large venues like Holmdel, NJ's PNC Arts
Center, which has a capacity of about 17,000 people, but is also
mysteriously playing the Bomb Factory in Dallas, TX. According to
MetalSucks, The Bomb Factory has a capacity of 4,300 people. This seems
like a bit of an odd choice considering all five of these artists
together could easily draw way more than 4,300 people, doubly so since
this is Slayer's final tour.
Of course, given the size of the club, tickets sold out in three minutes
flat and were sold to less-than-reputable people. MetalSucks published a
screenshot of the scalpers' prices for the tickets, which are currently
sitting at an absurd $3,000 per ticket. The obvious move here is to
just change venues to something bigger, but we're also hoping either the
tour or The Bomb Factory address this issue.
