Best Buy started giving out tickets to those in line for certain items (the doorbusters and other limited quanities) about an hour before opening (usually open at 5am). This avoids a stampede running into the store as it opens trying to get what you want, because only those with tickets will get the item. I'd rather they do that (and camp to get them) then have a stampede and get trampled, or have associates only let a few in the store at a time, and then you have a mud rush at the associate.
