Bob Dylan to play on UNC Charlotte campus

Bob Dylan and His Band will perform an all-ages concert at UNC Charlotte's Halton Arena at 8 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 14. Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday for $45 (or $25 for students with I.D.) plus $10.30 in service and handling fees.

Tickets can be purchased via Ticketmaster by clicking here; there is also a presale beginning at 10 a.m. Wednesday (use the password "49ers").

Dylan -- the 69-year-old singer-songwriter behind anthems like "Blowin' in the Wind" and "The Times They Are a-Changin' " -- will be playing at universities throughout the Southeast and Midwest during the month of October. A full list of tour dates is here.

Nothing like a 23% "Service Charge". Friggin' rip off.

Let us all know when and where we may purchase tickets -- without service fees.

Appears to be a Zer0 function.

Wow. Dylan on the UNCC campus. Should be awesome.

Agree with the service and handling fee. It's not like we're buying a piano or a sofa. You buy the ticket online and then pick it up and roll call. How hard is it for ticketmaster to lift a ticket and hand it to you?

If he keeps his promise, he will have the WBT Briarhoppers as the openning act....they were the inspiration of Bill Monroe.

Halton seats 9,500 for basketball games and probably more for concerts, so there should be plenty of seats.

U2 is coming to UNCC? When are tickets on sale? Someone told me that Bob Dylan was opening for them.

Someone once told me "If you want to sing like Bob Dylan all you have to do is drink lots of gin", is the true?

The greatest American songwriter in the past fifty years is coming to Charlotte and the majority of comments are from snarky smartasses. Stay classy, trolls.

Bob Dylan lives in a $5-6 million home on the beach in Malibu.
Wonder how many of the snarks with attitude here:
a. would like to have his home?
b. would like to have had his success doing anything?
c. will ever achieve a twentieth of what he's accomplished in his career?
d. would have the guts to name themselves anything but 'anonymous'?

Which Bob Dylan will be performing...the folksinger or the gospel singer?

I wonder if I can get him to sign my program with his real name, Robert Zimmerman?
