Checking on the "new" Angkor Wat website two years later.
Conclusion - the site is being updated daily for weather, but the promised online ticket system is yet to kick off. For the present time, the official line is that every single tourist who wants a pass for the Angkor Wat park must show up in person to buy their ticket.
