Demand for tickets to the last seven days of the “Yayoi Kusama: Infinity Mirrors” exhibit at the High Museum of Art crashed the museum’s website Tuesday morning.

Tickets to the last days of the show went on sale online Tuesday at 10 a.m.

When the site crashed there were 29,000 customers waiting in the virtual queue.

That was almost triple the number of people waiting online last September, when tickets first went on sale.

The enormously popular show ends Feb. 17.

The site appeared to have recovered shortly after 10:30 a.m. Tickets are available at www.high.org/
