Obviously the need for them is less with online purchasing, online travel agents, and e-ticketing. But I remember them well.
A relative of mine was a travel agent and he would often visit them to handle special requests or pick up tickets that for one reason he couldn't pick up himself. Some used to be in prime locations. For whatever reason I remember China Airlines (Taiwan) had one at a corner location at Union Square in San Francisco that's now a Starbucks. I also remember this relative arranged for some buddy passes on Air New Zealand from an ANZ employee that we used to fly to Australia. It was a reward for selling a lot of tickets. It was weird too because ANZ didn't fly out of SFO but they had a ticket office in San Francisco and we flew out of LAX.
A friend of mine had to rebook a United flight from Shanghai to San Francisco, and the change fee was paid for and the receipt collected at United's ticket office in Shanghai.
There was one at Penn Station in New York City. I understand it was from United's partnership with Amtrak, which has since dissolved. I heard it was the last city ticket office United had.
