Changing dates on a ticket from a travel agent

i messed up big time and booked the wrong date for my trip from LAX-NRT. United won't change the ticket because its issued by a travel agent and the travel agent wants to $300 change fee per ticket plus difference in fare to change the dates. i know i shouldn't 'plan' to miss the flight... but has anyone missed flights and successfully stayed another day? without paying the fees and what not? or is there another cheap option?

Yes, but I wouldn't recommend it. There may have been a small ticket reissue fee at the airport.
