No advance tickets will be available anywhere for this performance. Admission to the show is $60 cash. No credit cards will be accepted.

Goldenvoice VP David Lefkowitz said, "Given the state of touring and how fees have escalated, it was a real breath of fresh air to do something so consumer oriented by eliminating all ticketing charges, almost a throwback to another time. It's been almost twenty years since Bob Dylan played The Warfield and in my opinion, he is an artist that needs no big promotions or hoopla. He comes, he plays, and it's an incredible experience."
