Oh, please. You won't have any trouble getting tickets for November-December. I have never had an AMEX, Visa Gold, Platinum, or any of those cards that participate in "pre-sales" for shows, and I have seen every Broadway show that I wanted to, in previews or early in the run, from the orchestra, for the past 8 years.
The whole "pre-sale" game exists as a way to trick people with big heads into believing that they're getting first dibs on the best seats in the house before the general public, when it is just not that simple. Great seats will continue to be withheld from and intermittently released to prospective ticket buyers until the day of the show depending on how premium, group, and individual ticket sales are moving along.
You just need to continue to check Ticketmaster regularly (a few times a week) and soon enough you'll see a great pair of seats for an advance date or on the day of performance, for full price.
The only people who truly benefit from "pre-sales" are the credit card companies and the producers of the show at hand. The credit card company makes money from their cardholders and the producers get money from the credit card company as a benefit of making such an arrangement with them.
