What about using the big ramps to get people in in the mornings? We used them leaving the concert in 2011, and I could've sworn they went down to street level. The extra width would allow for a variety of paces and more throughput during the first hour or so. Just put barricades or staff (or both) at the highest level people can enter.
Still not foolproof, but I'll take people being idiots on a gently-sloped ramp over people being idiots on stairs and escalators.
