i-tm4u.biz is VERY reliable, but be prepared to pay $400+. She has to go by auction prices so you're definitely NOT going to get a facevalue ticket.
It is MUCH cheaper to buy a ticket from someone prior to seat assignments. While you won't have the ticket in hand, if they find out it's floor prior to selling it, they can jack the price WAY up.
The best way to get tickets is to have a friend in Japan and have them join the FC for you. That's what I did. I didn't hit this year, but another friend did and I went with her to the last show in Fukuoka.
Another bit of advice is to not try to go for the Tokyo/Kokuritsu shows. They're ALWAYS the most bidded on and always have the highest prices. If you're going to go to Japan, don't do it for just a concert - make a trip out of it and buy a rail pass - that way you can go to the place where the concert is (Nagoya, Osaka, Fukuoka, etc) then just go back to Tokyo and spend time there. Definitely get your money's worth, that way.
