LiveNation is running special premium seating for a couple of shows and they are pretty good. Do check them out at livenation.com Just register for a free account and you can then order them. I've been registered with them for years and they're great. They are not selling the premium seats through TM at all so you have to go to their web site.
Not to burst your bubble or anything but I seriously doubt that you'll get 4 really close seats at the last minute no matter what strategy you adopt.
I too have gotten 1st and 2nd row tickets at the last minute for face value even from ticket agencies but getting 4 will be a stretch. As another poster earlier advised go for 1 or 2 tickets if you want to try the last minute thing.
As for the getting to the stage, if there is a Pit and you aren't in it (and sometime even if you are), you aren't getting through-period. You can talk to them all you want to but they won't let you through. If there isn't a Pit, like another poster said, it depends on the venue.
True story. I was at Stevie's last Gibson Amphitheater show here in L.A., I think it was 2005, and I was in the 3rd row of the Pit and security wouldn't let anyone to the stage for the walk or any part of the show unless they were in the front row. I thought they were going to throw me out they got so manic. During the TISL tour I had 7th row Pit tickets at the same venue and they let me and anyone else who was in the Pit, no matter where they were sitting, come to the stage without any problem all throughout the show not just during the Edge walk.
If you really want to guarantee the front row with stage access your going to have to bite the bullet and buy at least two seats at the top price. It hurts but then the worry factor is removed and you can totally enjoy the show. I've done it for Lindsey and the Eagles and it was worth it.
Luck!
