I rushed today, I got there at about 9 and was 6th in line. When the box office opened, I'd say there were about 21-22 people.
My ticket is AA 107, which is approximately center of the front row. They did NOT check for IDs of any sort, and several older people who were clearly not students had no issue getting tickets.
