   I'll second that!   
      
   And if they say "Sorry, got nothin'" the first time you check, buy the   
   cheapest ticket available, just to make certain you can at least get in,   
   then keep going back to the box office every few minutes until show   
   time. (or until you score a "good enough" seat - whichever comes first   
   :) ) According to my experience, even at a "So sorry, totally sold out"   
   (Like August of last year here in Seattle-ville) show, something *WILL*   
   open up.
