The 70-year-old rock icon is set to play Wednesday at the Warfield for the first time in nearly two decades and every single ticket to the show is still available. Here's the catch: All tickets are general admission and will be available at the Warfield box office on the day of the show only. Admission to the show is $60 cash. No credit cards or checks will be accepted. The box office and the doors will open at 5:30 p.m. and ticket holders will enter the venue immediately at the time of purchase, one ticket per customer. Line-ups will begin no earlier than noon on day of performance. Goldenvoice, the promoter for the concert, said Dylan's people came to them with the idea and they thought it was worth trying out. "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 -- it's almost a throwback to another time," said David Lefkowitz, the company's vice president of booking. *** The concert industry experts over at Pollstar are already praising the experiment as pretty much the solution to all the woes with secondary market ticket brokers.

So much for the onerous "paperless ticket" system.
