the ID requirement is for the person buying the tickets

Not all members of the party.

So in the summer the word is that people are lining up as early as four or 5 AM to get those tickets that are sold on the same day. By 7 AM the line is reported to be 50 or 60 people long. So unless you like to spend most of your morning standing online I would look for other alternatives.

There are places selling tickets when they're sold out at a premium. You can also buy them as part of another tour and call and explain you're not going to go to the rest of the tour.

You can do a cruise that takes you around the island without actually going on. I don't personally see the appeal of Alcatraz so I've done this to her and enjoyed it quite a bit.
