Watch the Sabres for free and get paid: Best job


Season tickets to Sabres games cost a minimum of $800, and those are for seats completely capable of causing nasal hemorrhaging. Better seats cost upwards of several thousand dollars and are often sold out in mere minutes.

The best job in Buffalo allows its employees to get paid to attend every single home game.

There are actually a plethora of career opportunities available at HSBC Arena, but the most coveted one is that of the infamous usher. These red coat wearing, scowl-faced lucky ducks get paid to simply stand and watch hockey.

This is the best job in Buffalo by miles. Look at the facts.

They don't do much more than yell at wound up children and intoxicated fans for attempting to walk to their seats during play.

Occasionally, they get to fight drunken Maple Leafs fans without getting kicked out, something any Sabres fan would love to do.

Ushers get the opportunity to meet Sabres players face to face and get autographs galore.

And they get to see Disney on Ice for free.

So maybe that last one isn't a major draw for the job, but it is icing on the cake.
