Hey, have you heard that Bob Dylan is coming to D.C. on Nov. 13? And that his sold-out concert at the Charles E. Smith Center on George Washington University's campus is a general admission show, meaning seats are first come, first serve?

If so, perhaps you've been wondering, as I have, if a bunch of jerks are going to attempt to save huge blocks of seats for their friends, possibly relegating you to the nosebleed section even if you arrive super early.

Michelle Sherrard, a spokesperson for George Washington University, says seat-saving isn't allowed at the Smith Center, but adds that it also isn't usually a problem during the venue's events. But, should you encounter an egregious saver, with jackets and sweaters slung across an entire row of seats, the Smith Center staff has your back.

"Seat saving typically is not an issue, but if you have a problem, there will be ushers and staff around, and if there is an issue, you can alert one of them," she says.

Sherrard, who says that G.W.U. is very much looking forward to hosting the Dylan show, also advises folks to arrive early, so when the doors open at 7 p.m., they can get in and grab the seat or floor spot they want. "The doors are at 7, and the show is at 8, and, from our perspective, we encourage everyone to arrive promptly. I don't know if there will be a line, but with the excitement of the concert, that could be very likely," she says.
