How to get good seats for a concert?

I am curious.
I there a way to get the good seats for a concert?
Good seats being as close to the stage as possible.

I know a lot of bands have fan clubs.
If you pay a membership to the fan club you can get your name on a list for a show that is supposed to grant you better access to better seating.
I have heard bad things at times about these types of lists and that sometimes you just get shafted.

I have not been to a great deal of concerts in my life but would like to start going more often.
I just would like to have good seats.
Say, on the floor, first 25 rows.
If up in the bowl seating, then close to the stage, on the side of the stage.

What I am trying to do is avoid standing in a line to buy tickets, and then being given whatever seats the computer machine spits out. If I am first in line to buy tickets to a show, I want to buy the seats that I choose, not some random assigned seats a computer decides to give me.

Thoughts, advice, suggestions?
