Look at tour companies (Little Fish, Mercat etc) and see if they have any availability for a castle tour. They get allocations of tickets from the castle that allow them access to deliver their tours. It'll be more expensive and there's always the chance that your guide can be an utter charlatan (worked there for a few years and heard a lot of nonsense from tour guides) but you will get in and get a tour.

May 5, 2023 - When we were there last September there were lines of people picking up their online purchased tickets at the kiosks, so while not waiting to buy them you are waiting to print them. From those, one moved slightly closer to the castle to get into the queue for their timed entry.

You can book online - it's cheaper and you know you will get in. It's not cheap, but there is plenty to see - including exhibitions and a couple of regimental museums. If it's a nice day, take a picnic and eat it on the western garrison lawns. There is no limit on how long you can stay, the ticket just specifies an arrival window. You can take lots of photos.
