So if you aren't finding anything you like right now, you can always hold off.

^ Listen to this advise. Generally the best seats I've ever got including 1st, 2nd, 4th and 5th row were bought anywhere from 2 weeks before the show or at the very last minute standing at the box office window at the venue. Be patient you will eventually find a great seat.

This is risky but I've done it a couple of times: Stand outside the door at the venue and see if anyone has an extra unwanted ticket. I got a free ticket this way to see Cyndi Lauper in Lauderdale last year, and also got a VIP Row 7 ticket for Cheap Trick at less than 50% face value a few months back in Sarasota, FL. This generally works best for 1 ticket rather than for 2 or 4.
