He might (might) be able to buy tickets for a reserved seat when he gets there- I had an acquaintance who bought two tickets for $75 each for reserved seats in 2004 from a guy outside the gate. But there's always the risk they're fakes.
Here's the link to the page about tickets on the NYRA site. It says walkup tickets will be available:
