I tried to get in at 12:10 just to see but was in by 12:23 and all tickets still up.

Did you go in just to see as well or were you planning on buying

The virtual queue seems to come up when they are many people trying to purchase tickets at once. If you try again later, when things slow down, you may not see it. This happened to me, when I waited to purchase a 3-day pass, later in the day.

In fact, just tried go in there now. No virtual queue.

Two hours later tickets still available for all 4 days with no online queue.

People have lost the right to complain IMO :p

Ha-ha-ha. But they will any way. I am going to watch NYCC FB for it and laugh to myself.

I cannot believe there was a queue at all. There wasn't even when I got my 4-day pass. Weird.
