I wouldn't worry about Blue Man Group going anywhere soon. They're considered highly successful by both Universal and Blue Man. In fact, the Orlando show is now considered the cornerstone Blue Man show by Blue Man Group.
The student tickets do have to be purchased on day of show and there are some exclusions (some shows that the offer is not valid due to other events, etc.). You do need to have your student ID with you, and you're limited to two tickets per ID. Usually if you get to the box office early enough, you can still get good seats most days. There really are no bad seats in the theatre. Unlike many theatres, for instance, the stage at the Sharp Aquos is as wide as the house (seats) so there are no really limited views (no places where you miss anything going on in a particular part of the stage). I actually prefer to sit further back too, since the Blue Men do a lot of running through the audience and it's easier to see their antics from back a ways. Their movements and even their facial expressions are pretty broad so you don't really lose that much intimacy away from the stage. It's a really small house too, so the back row is really not that far back.
