    This is a total noob (Is it still "cool" to use this word?) question, but I'm purchasing tickets for a Blazer game for the first time. (Every other game I've gone to I've just paid someone back for the tickets they bought.) What's the cheapest way of getting them? Every online site I go to charges ridiculous fees per ticket and then either another general processing fee or insane shipping costs. Can I avoid that mess by calling the ticket office directly and picking up tickets from will call or am I going to get hit with the same fees either way? Or is there another method besides scalping to get tickets that avoids the fees?

    Talk with Kingspeed. The dude has great connections.

    Kingspeed's connections may be outside my budget. :) I'm looking for the cheapest tickets available. I'm buying for 6 people (Christmas presents) and only have temporary employment. :)

    Kingspeed will probably accept alternate forms of payment for your ticket purchase

    I have lots of old baseball cards. Some of them are valued at more than $0.80! I might be able to cover it if I gave him all of them.

    Talk to a season ticket holder (like me). Going to the box office also works.

    I get a huge discount as an employee! I will mark them up 125%, but maybe I can send a player over to give you an autograph.

    I usually am back in the TV truck by 5:45 on game nights. I never get a chance to really visit with people who come to the game. Sucks for you!
