iirc, SFO has usually had a separate counter for purchasing tickets, which is often not busy at all. I've casually noticed this, but I can't tell you specifically and how recently, as I do use SFO fairly often.
I do know the AC can make changes, but I guess issuing a printed ticket is not possible - I have not seen the kind of machine that would print tickets in the SFO AC. More recent / observant FTers may post otherwise...
Good luck.
