The tickets seem to go up so randomly, I'm actually surprised anyone is managing to catch them at the right times. What's the secret?
There used to be a twitter account for Daily Show and Colbert tickets that would tweet whenever either went up. I wish that existed for this show.
I'm not sure there's a secret or even a strategy. It does seem to be random and does seem to be the least available show this week. I got mine by literally checking every 5 minutes for days straight. After about 900 tries over 6 days I got in.

Do you think they'll play more than the one song taped for the broadcast?
Isn't the broadcast live?
No, show tapes at 5:30, airs at 11:35

I think they will play at least 2 songs. Here's what I could find from previous late night appearances:
1996 Letterman - 2 songs 2000 Letterman - 1 song 2002 Night 1 Letterman - 1 song 2002 Night 2 Letterman - 1 song 2004 Letterman - 1 song 2006 Letterman - 10 songs! Yes 10 songs! 2009 Conan - 1 song 2011 Fallon - 3 songs 2013 Fallon - 2 songs
Those are all I could find, or feel like looking for at the moment. I'd love to get 5 songs Wednesday night.

The 10 songs was for a special Live on Letterman recording; there are separate tickets for those if they even happen. They rarely happen and we haven't heard of anything, so it's not happening.
2013 Fallon they played 2 songs but it was for two separate tapings. I went to one taping and got one song (Sirens).
Not trying to be a downer! Just want to manage everyone's expectations. You'll get one song. Anything more is a bonus and not normal.

"Not normal" haha. Well they weren't normal in '06 for Letterman, maybe they'll not be normal Wednesday. I did read somewhere the musical guests for Colbert have been going long and playing a webcast after the show. We shall see.

I just checked the site and was able to get a single ticket! Cause to the universe I guess I mean a thing...! What time is everyone lining up?
Give me a fucking break already. How do I keep missing out on this by minutes every single time. Congrats to you, but I mean, Goddamn it already.
Haha, my thoughts exactly. I figured I'm going to leave it up to the universe if I get to go at this point.
same boat...was just in there refreshing and then I see this! ugghhhh!
Sorry everyone - I definitely was not trying to rub it in anyone's faces; I wanted the community to know there is still hope! I have been refreshing nonstop too - just got lucky.

Oh, please don't be sorry! Everyone should keep posting when they score tickets. Give the rest of us a glimmer of hope ENJOY!!!
Using the only leverage I have right now, again tomorrow is my birthday and I would really love to go to this show if at all possible.
I also just found out that the 2-3 month assignment that I accepted and was slated to run through November which I left another good paying, zero stress role for will be ending on Friday because the absolute miserable human being that hired me decided that she actually doesn't need me afterall. It hasn't really been a stellar week so far.

i have been losing sleep over trying to get a ticket. i literally would wake up and start hitting the button for an hour and all it said was sold out. Its been over a week of this button hitting. Today during a fire drill at school, I hit the button and got myself 1 ticket. So excited. We aren't allowed as teachers to use our phones at school, but I've been secretly hitting the button for a week. Glad thats over with.

There is an extra song for Don Henley in Colbert's website, so there is hope!

Looks like they normally announce 3 guests per night; Friday is just showing 2:
