Hi Suzie,
I just posted a July’s GMA and Today summer concert calendar. It can be seen at:
http://www.thenewyorkcitytraveler.com/julys-good-morning-america-and-today-summer-concert-series-calendar/
As you can see, Miley Cyrus is scheduled to perform at both GMA’s Bryant Park stage and Today’s Rockefeller stage. So that effectively doubles your chances.
While I am not sure of getting into the front row, my recommendation would be to go early– like really early, and be ready to deal with some really pushy parents. Good luck!
