The Steam Packet Company's website is queueing people this morning as it resells TT tickets that haven't been paid in full.
Last week, the company said it would sell on tickets for the festival from 8.30am.
It warned as a result it was expecting its phone lines and website to be extremely busy, and would have extra staff to cope with the surge in demand.
At present, the queue on its website is just over 15 minutes long.
