Minimal chance of getting lower fares especially during holiday periods. You even risk not getting a seat at all as flights often sell out even in the highest fare buckets. Sometimes you get a cancellation and a odd seat will pop up but those are usually in the highest fare brackets and not in the lowest ones.
