I guess I travel pretty light and have never had this issue but I don't think how much you paid for your ticket should be a factor. If you've failed to play the game as effectively as other folks then that's your problem. Even then, as long as you hang around the gate and line up as soon as your boarding zone is called then all should be well most of the time.
