Having the Time to Save Money by Buying Tickets at the Box Office

About 7 years ago in this journal, I suggested that one can save money by going to a box office to buy tickets instead of buying them online and paying a stiff fee.  Since I am now retired, I have the time to do that.  I took the subway to Manhattan and bought tickets at the Longacre Theater for A Bronx Tale.  From there I walked downtown to Madison Square Garden and bought tickets for two college basketball games.  I probably saved at least $50 in fees.  The only bad thing was having to walk through Penn Station and pass by the panhandlers.
