What's the best way?

I would wait it out. I'm most definately doing that for the second leg. I had purchased my tickets off of Ebay and to tell you the truth, I paid less than what it costs through ticketmaster and they were really good seats (all of my seats for the shows were on the floor). As the show nears, you can find some people who are more than willing to give up their tickets either because they can no longer go or because they themselves have found better seats OR, they are ticket brokers from another state who want to get rid of em' because no one is buying. Play the game this way.... call ticketmaster, see what they have available every few days. Check online...see what's available on there...check e-bay...see what's on there. They are all (with the exception of e-bay obviously) alloted a certain number of tickets so you could get lucky using this technique. I played the phones and the net to get mine. That is my suggestion to you!
