I booked it either way to see how many seats are open and it is the same as before around 70% occupied even a week in advance.

Any ideas how to bypass this and book at regular price without the two week prior notice? Is there a way to HOLD a ticket price?

Wow! I would use AE points redemption on this route now.. if that doesn't work, fly UA, or another *A carrier, or purchase seats on those airlines if you get a better rate. I know you're SE and want to stay on AC metal.. but price trumps from point A to point B JMHO.
