I got around Ticketmaster today

Ticket prices for sporting events, concerts and shows are high enough, but one must also have to pay a fee to Ticketmaster that has a monopoly. Whenever I can, I go to the venue to buy tickets. Today before I came to work, I stopped off at the Prudential Center and bought tickets for the New Jersey Devils. I paid $105 for 3 tickets and avoided at least $18 by not using Ticketmaster. Since I pass by Madison Square Garden on the way home, I always use their box office to save money. However, most of the time I can't avoid buying the tickets online since the venue is out of the way.
