The countdown to “Infinity” is nearing zero.
Art lovers hoping to enter the reflective wonderland that is "Yayoi Kusama: Infinity Mirrors" are snapping up tickets to the High Museum exhibit in huge numbers, and only a few remain.
Museum spokesperson Marci Tate Davis said Tuesday afternoon about 91 percent of the tickets are gone.
Online sales of tickets to November and December shows are gone, said Davis. Best availability: tickets to shows on weekdays in mid-to-late January.
Ticket sales resume Wednesday morning at 10 a.m.
The show opens Nov. 18 and runs through Feb. 17, 2019.
Tickets to the show are timed, so a limited number are sold for each day. There are a potential 140,000 ticketed time slots during that period, Davis said.

Response to the show has been enthusiastic. On Aug. 27, when tickets went on sale to High Museum members only, 28,000 tickets were sold in a single day.
Tickets to the general public went on sale Monday, Sept. 17, and sales to the public will continue through the end of the week, or until they are sold out.
About 100 walk-up tickets will be available at the museum each day of the show, beginning on Nov. 18. Those tickets sell on a first-come, first-served basis and will be valid for that date only.
Visitors should plan on spending two hours on the exhibit. No more than two or three people will be allowed into any of the Infinity Mirror Rooms at a time. The rooms are not huge — her pumpkin room is only 13.6 feet by 13.6 feet by 9.6 feet, according to the Los Angeles Times — but they seem enormous on the inside.
The exhibit, one of the most comprehensive in the last 20 years, also features many works from throughout Kusama’s career, including sculpture, paintings and ephemera.
