As far as I heard, most commercial airports (LHR, JFK, CDG etc.) are going to accomodate A380 w/o hitch. It's mostly inland american airports that are complaining about extra cost of A380-compatible gates.
There is nothing prohibiting you to dump pax on the tarmac and use busses to/from terminal in worst case. When 747 appeared, it was same situation.
