Slayer Tickets at the Kia Forum: Prices Have Dropped—Is Now the Time to Buy?

When is the best time to buy Slayer tickets? If you’re planning to catch the band’s Reign in Blood 40th Anniversary concerts at the Kia Forum in Inglewood on November 13 or 14, 2026, the latest ticket prices give bargain hunters a reason to take another look. According to our concert ticket data, lower price resale listings have fallen below the original $86.66 starting price. As of October 29, 2026, Friday tickets are around $68 each when purchasing a pair, while comparable Saturday tickets are around $73 each.

For fans who want to get through the doors without draining their wallets, that makes this a good time to shop.

Long Story Short: Buy the Deal You Can See

Slayer’s cheapest tickets have come down, and CTS’s tracking suggests the downward trend is beginning to level off. Friday currently offers the cheaper entry point in our snapshot, with Saturday carrying a small premium. Could prices fall further? Yes. Could the cheapest pairs disappear and leave more expensive options? Also yes. Our recommendation: if you find tickets that fit your budget and preferred view or section, buy them rather than counting on another price drop.

Two Nights of Reign in Blood at the Kia Forum

Slayer will celebrate the 40th anniversary of Reign in Blood with back-to-back Kia Forum concerts on Friday, November 13, and Saturday, November 14, 2026. Ticketmaster lists both events at 6 p.m. Pacific.

These anniversary shows are advertised to feature Reign in Blood performed in full, with Cannibal Corpse, Cavalera and Crowbar opening both Inglewood dates. For fans who want to experience the album as a complete live performance, that is a compelling reason to be there.

The second concert followed strong early demand: the April announcement reported that the November 13 show had sold out during the Citi and artist presales before the November 14 date was added.

Why Did Slayer Ticket Prices Drop?

One concert became two, giving fans another night to choose from and expanding the overall supply of tickets.

CTS observed resale prices easing after the second show was announced. That fits the basic supply-and-demand picture: when buyers have more choices, sellers may need to compete more aggressively on price.

Adding a second show does not automatically double the number of resale tickets available at any particular moment. But it does help explain how a concert that generated a sold-out announcement can later offer resale tickets below its original starting price.

How Much Are the Cheapest Slayer Tickets?

The “get-in price” is the lowest available ticket price for entry. It is useful for fans who care more about being in the building than securing a particular section.

Here is the comparison from CTS’s October 29, 2026 pricing snapshot:

At the updated $68–$73 get-in prices, the lowest listings sit approximately 16%–22% below the original $86.66 entry price.

Here’s a very Slayer detail: all five original price levels CTS surveyed ended with the digits “666.” Probably not a coincidence.

Prices are a snapshot, not a promise of availability. Compare the full purchase total, including applicable fees and taxes, and check the section, view restrictions and ticket quantity.

Are Both Shows Almost Sold Out?

CTS’s supplied snapshot shows approximately only 800–1,000 resale tickets available for each night in the inventory it monitors. That is available resale inventory—not a complete count of every ticket that might still become available. Promoter holdbacks, later releases, and tickets not currently listed can change the picture.

The practical issue for a buyer is simpler: there may be hundreds of tickets available, but only a few pairs at the lowest price. Once those listings sell or are withdrawn, the next-cheapest option may cost more.

Floor Tickets Tell a Different Story

The cheapest seats and floor tickets do not always move together. CTS tracked original floor price points of $196.66 and $246.66. Its reported average floor sale prices were $261 for Friday and $273 for Saturday.

Those averages suggest floor demand has held up better than the entry-level market. They also show why it would be misleading to say every Slayer ticket is getting cheaper. If getting onto the floor is your priority, shop that ticket category directly. A lower get-in price does not necessarily translate into a bargain on the floor.

Should You Buy Slayer Tickets Now or Wait?

For budget-conscious fans, the case for buying now is straightforward: entry-level tickets in CTS’s snapshot cost less than the original starting price, and both nights still offer options.

Friday is the better starting point for shoppers seeking the lowest price in this snapshot. Saturday may be worth the modest premium if it fits your schedule better.

Waiting could save you a few dollars, but it could also cost you the pair or section you wanted. You do not have to predict the exact market bottom to make a good purchase.

Find a price you’re comfortable with, compare both nights, and secure your tickets for Slayer’s Reign in Blood anniversary celebration.
