Advise: Standby or Purchase

Hi,

I am currently booked on a F9 flight from DEN to MCI on 8/30 that leaves DEN @7pm and lands around 10pm.

I am trying to figure out the best way to move up to an earlier flight that leaves @3:30 and gets in at 6pm.

I am Ascent.

So my question: Do I have any chance of doing this on standby? It's the start of the holiday weekend, so I'm guessing my chances are slim, but I've never actually done standby with Frontier.

My other option is to burn some citi thank you points and book a "cheap" UA ticket around the same time or book a WN flight for around the same price. Both around $180 right now.

Any ideas would be great! Thanks in advance.
