Having been in the same situation before I can confirm Ticketmaster won't replace General Admission tickets (i.e., tickets for any venue that doesn't have reserved seats with numbers). If they did there would be no way to ensure somebody else didn't get admission with the original tickets.
Having said that you'd have nothing to lose by pleading your case - having worked in customer service places in the past I can tell you that if you're VERY persistent and keep asking to speak to managers (and managers' managers) they might do it for you to get you off the line!
