BOB DYLAN Gets Back to Back the Basics with San Francisco Concert

MUSIC NEWS- Music legend, Bob Dylan has announced that he try out a new (old) anti-ticket scalping model for an upcoming show at the Warfield in San Francisco, CA. The singer/songwriter is currently on a USA tour and has dumped the advanced ticket sales option for his Wednesday (August 25) night concert.

Instead, the only way you can attend the gig is by purchasing your ticket ($60.00 general admission) at the door and,  the only way you can pay for it is with cash!  The move to eliminate excessive ticket handling and processing fees and reduce ticket scalping will be hopefully be watched by other artists and promoters around the USA as a way to contain rising concert consumer costs and help revitalize the touring industry. Oh, those attending the show can only buy one ticket each.

If you want a ticket, line up outside the Warfield at 12pm (PDT) on Wednesday, doors open at 5.30pm (PDT) and the show begins at 8pm (PDT).

"Given the state of touring and how fees have escalated, it was a real breath of fresh air to do something very consumer-oriented by eliminating all ticketing charges," said David Lefkowitz, a rep for promoter Goldenvoice. "It's almost a throwback to another time."
