At July's Slammiversary pay-per-view, Impact Wrestling will have its first live crowd since the COVID-19 pandemic began.
Impact Wrestling
has announced that a "limited number of fans" will be allowed to attend Slammiversary 2021. The PPV is taking place at Skyway Studios in Nashville, Tennessee on Saturday, July 17.
This will be the first Impact Wrestling show with fans in attendance since March 2020. The promotion has been holding closed set tapings and PPVs at Skyway Studios since then.
Slammiversary tickets will go on sale this Friday (June 4) at 10 a.m. Eastern time. Impact Wrestling noted that they will continue to follow all state and local safety protocols.
"Due to the limited number of tickets that will be available, ALL tickets will be part of IMPACT’s new Super Premium VIP Ticket Plan," Impact Wrestling wrote. :Every seat is on the arena floor, ringside and comes with a bundle of perks that have never been offered in wrestling history."
Those who purchase tickets will receive:
- Commemorative ticket with lanyard
- The official Slammiversary T-shirt
- The official Slammiversary Mounted Poster
- A post-show Commemorative Photo, Ringside or on the Entrance Ramp -- with the actual, official X-Division Championship Belt
- A Swatch of the official Match-Used Slammiversary Canvas (Fans will have the chance to see the canvas be cut immediately after the PPV)
- IMPACT-branded swag
- Complimentary water, soft drinks, chips, candy bars and some Robert Irvine’s Fit Crunch Protein Bars – courtesy of Robert Irvine and, of course, Gail Kim
“We have waited over a year to say these three words: Welcome Back, Fans,” IMPACT Executive Vice-President Scott D’Amore said. “We know Slammiversary will be an amazing event, with title defenses, jaw-dropping excitement, breath-taking moves … AND NOW, FANS.
“I speak for everyone at IMPACT Wrestling when I say that we are thrilled to welcome back our fans. IMPACT is going to deliver an amazing night of action in front of the thunderous roar of fans for the first time since early-March 2020 at the two-night A-Town Beatdown in Atlanta.”
Last year's Slammiversary featured the arrival of several wrestlers who were released by WWE in April 2020. The promotion for this year's PPV has again been centered around the possibility of wrestlers who were released from WWE this April and other surprises appearing.
