I have a few games in a few cities I want to make sure I have tickets to this upcoming season (especially one @ JLA), but on-sale dates/times haven't been announced yet. I missed out last year as I was flying, and will be in Peru during the August timeframe they usually go on sale, so want to be sure I get them for the last year @ the Joe.
Most teams are usually through ticketmaster, if that helps.
If it's not a sold-out event I've found them to be pretty good at getting tickets from a convenience standpoint. And for events that aren't on sale yet, they can grab tickets as soon as they're available...basically they'll sit by the phone or click through online so you don't have to.
As a bonus, any tickets Amex has secured for me via Ticketmaster - they didn't charge me the ticketmaster processing/convenience fees, so that saved a couple bucks per transaction.
For already sold-out events, StubHub is usually better, IME. Whatever brokers the concierge uses charge ridiculously high amounts for their tickets.
