I was calling ticketbastard.  I don't remember the exact sequence
between 1/2/4 ticket attempts -- I think I called back each time -- but
on the last try, I just kept going through the process until they gave
me the option of cancelling my order, which I did.  (I hadn't yet
given them any credit card info.)  At that point I was transferred to
a human being.  I asked if he could pull up tickets in a certain
section and he said the computer just pulls up the "best" seat.  So I
said, OK gimme your best single and up came 104/F.

That's what I got too, but he pulled up a better ticket than the
automated system.
