I think they sell more tickets on the day than what have actually been sold online, I have never heard of anyone being refused entry.

Just be ready for the queue-jumping and the general scrum to get the best positions at the front.

Last year I went on the Thursday for arrivals and had absolutely no problem getting a ticket on the day. Queued for 10 mins with no drama
