Regionale trains only have walk-up fares, so the pricing you get is the same if you buy it at the station.
You can search on trenitalia.com for fares on these trains. For example, Venice-Bologna is €10.75 and Milan-Venice €17.95 (may need a change in Verona - which is well worth a stop in if you're there). These are very good fares, IMHO.
As noted above, though, you can beat them with advance purchase fares on the ES services, if you can find the availability and buy in advance.
