Speak to the GA at the gate.

Sometimes I'll ask at the counter (when checking baggage) if the flight is oversold to get an indication if there is a chance of a bump. A few years ago, the counter employee said he was heading to the gate to work my flight, and he said it was severely overbooked. He already knew he needed volunteers, so he took my name on the spot.
