I don't live within a reasonable distance to New York, so I can't purchase my tickets at the box office. Trying to save money and was wondering if I ordered my tickets over the phone rather than online, could I dodge those blasted handling fees? Forgive my ignorance.

Nope. You'll pay fees.

Yes, you are still charged. The only way to avoid it is at the box office.

If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

Short answer is yes: it is actually usually more expensive

If you don't want to be ripped off by booking fees, go to the box office, most BroadwAy shows, you don't have to book in advance.
