Boston tomorrow -- box office sales?

I was just going to try my luck on ticketmaster, but I also thought about going to the box office in person. I don’t know how many tickets are usually sold at the box office vs. ticketmaster. I’m just afraid there are going to be tons of pathetic ticket broker assholes using ticketmaster to stockpile tickets and scalp them for $500. I guess they could go to the box office too, but it’s probably not as efficient and takes more effort than going online. (I picture these people living in front of the computer in mom’s basement in the underwear they’ve been wearing for four days, taking the occasional break to slaughter a puppy or drink a nice tall glass of baby tears).
*Does not include encore of Garden and Leash.

    Seriously (and I may regret saying this) is look up a Ticketmaster number that is not in Boston, New England or New York. Pick Seattle or Omaha- something like that. Call them for tickets. You should get right through.

    I like Southie and people like you Jim- but you must know the crew I'm talking about!!!!!!! Was speaking generally......its the same 10-20 guys at ever show, concert, event................buying, selling, upgrading, exchanging...........I have travled the world to see concerts and events and nothing beats the scalping organization you see here - everywhere else its more independent.
