Thanks.
Whatever is available online is going to be available at the park, I don't think they release any more tickets for walk ups. My two suggestions for this would be:

1. If you don't mind standing the whole game and get there early get standing room only. There are tons of little railings that you can put some food on and stand to watch the game, including ones basically right behind home plate or the IF that are pretty good views. The main drawback for this, besides the need to stand for the whole game, is that you pretty much can't move from your spot during the game to get food, etc because it will be taken.

2. I assume the bad seats you speak of are in the 400 level. I would say there really are no bad seats in the place. I have been to a ton of the Mets-Phils and a few other random Phillies games there with my fiance and friends and I have sat nearly every where and the views were good. I literally sat in the last row of the RF upper deck section and it wasn't too bad, except you can't see the out of town scoreboard.
