Bob Dylan is ending his world tour in an unlikely place: Brooklyn.

The weathered troubadour will play the Prospect Park Bandshell on Aug. 12 to close his "Modern Times" tour.

Diehard fans had to be on their toes to grab tickets, which went on presale yesterday at 10 a.m., the same day that Dylan’s official web site announced the show. The advantage in the ticket scramble went to readers of the blog Brooklyn Vegan, which posted the added tour date on Sunday.

Tickets cost from $55 to $100, and any seats not sold yesterday will go on sale June 13 through Ticketmaster. The Bandshell has a capacity of 2,000 seats plus room for 5,000 on the lawn.

So far, the "Modern Times" tour has featured a mix of classic songs from the '60s and tunes from his most recent album, which won a Grammy in 2006 for Best Contemporary Folk/Americana Album.

Dylan will be touring Europe until his Brooklyn show and is scheduled to perform in St. Petersburg, Russia, tonight.
