I would say the chances of someone getting a ticket today is the same as someone getting one yesterday 
Seriously guys, I wouldn't expect any company to announce 'oh we had 378 requests for 350 tickets, tough toodles for those last 28 people' (making up numbers here)
They're probably still sorting through the lists and making sure there's no mistakes or double bookings before they offer the tickets.
And, since i would imagine the worst thing to do, from a business standpoint, would be to announce 'all sold out!!!!!' in July, then, in October, after havinig 30% of those that said 'yeah, i want a ticket' suddenly back out, having to go back on their word and say 'umm, yeah, well, oops, anyone want a ticket????' so i really don't see them putting up the 'sold out' sign until, like Julia said, everything is bought and paid for.
IIRC, last year with the AT4 tickets, even though they cocktail tickets were all asked for, they still accepted names for the waiting list until that list just got impossibly long and there was no way in hades they'd ever get through it. I would imagine that the waiting list for the con tickets would be handled the same way.
This con is a year away, a LOT can happen in a year, so I would imagine they'd want a good and rock steady waiting list because, out of the 350 tickets, I personally expect about 30 attendees to have things happen and they have to sell them. And that doesn't take into account a lot of people that I read were going to 'try for a ticket, after all, i have until september to decide if i want it'
so....i doubt we'll ever know the real and accurate numbers of how many are waiting until after the fact. And i think the 'blind' waiting list is the fairest way to do things. everyone has a chance
