Some questions about Pompeii

I will be in Italy in a few weeks together with a friend and we'd love to visit Pompeii (around 4 June). However, I have a question about the reduced price ticket.
We're both eligible for the reduced price of €2. However, a reduced price ticket can't be purchased online in advance. Will tickets still be available if we buy them the day we want to visit? Should we expect a (long) queue? We're staying at a camping really close to the entrance, so we could be there pretty early, should it be necessary.

I was also wondering whether the 3 day ticket is valid for three continuous days, or whether there can be some time between them (a day or so).
Thanks!

Greetings,
We visited Pompeii in late October just as it opened and it was
extremely busy. I can't speak to the availability of purchasing tickets in person as ours were purchased online,however,queues were quite long at the purchasing windows. My suggestion is to arrive as early as possible, check the hours of operation for your specific date. Enjoy!
