My and the folks I know are lucky, since we all have ID numbers in their system and can dip into the super-pre-reg period, but even then we do it as a group, coordinating through Skype or Discord and all in the queue at once, so whoever actually makes it in can buy tickets for some of the others.

God I miss the days of being able to buy a pass on-site if you didn't manage to pay $30-$50 for the whole convention ahead of time. /oldcodger

From my experience, the easiest way of getting into Comic-Con is to volunteer. I was able to go two years straight by doing that and it only requires you to work for 3 hours for every day you want to attend. At the very least it's easier to get in as a volunteer as opposed to trying to get your tickets with everyone else.
