Except for the fact that the same guy cannot use his ticket twice, meaning the "threat of cancellation" just moves to the next day...

Having people to register (with a ticket) is not the problem, the problem is being there at the start of the tournament. Most of the tournaments that struggle to have enough players at the start get tons of late reggers that are a bit late, or a lot late + reentries. Adding 1-2 people being there at the start because they just got a ticket in a sattie could reduce the cancelling problem drastically.

Again, then those guys would be there at the start of the tournament the very next day and that tournament would run instead of late-regging today. Isn't that what you want?

No they wouldn't, they have no incentive to be there at the start of the tournament as they would if they're already there when they win the ticket. They will come late or the next day or the next, or in a week, or out of 2 daily tournaments each with a sattie they'll all go into one of them leaving the other with not enough starters. Add to that the fact that you can't even see the satties in the lobby a day in advance a lot of the time, so even less chance that they will plan to be on time the next day. You gotta remember that not everyone is a grinder, so they're not here non stop, you gotta snag them while they're here. 

Same principle for normal MTT's, the schedule probably shouldn't have really big gaps between tournaments (of similar buy-in)  at peak times because as long as they're here they might join something else later on, if they have nothing to play right now they just leave and you lose a person registering.
