That's only during the busiest times right?
I'm not sure. I've done zero research on it thus far. Just putting out the feelers.

Cables are usually up June through early October.
This chart shows Half Dome lottery applications by day of the week for 2015.
quote:
Permits to hike to the top of Half Dome are required seven days per week when the cables are up (as called for in the Half Dome Plan in order to protect wilderness character, reduce crowding, protect natural and cultural resources, and improve safety).
A maximum of 300 hikers are allowed (about 225 day hikers and 75 backpackers) each day on the Half Dome Trail beyond the base of the subdome. Instead, apply using the lotteries described on this page.
quote:
During the preseason lottery, 225 permits are available for each day. The application period for this lottery is from March 1 through March 31 (eastern time). Applicants will receive an email with lottery results in mid-April (or can get results online or by calling Recreation.gov). We are planning on the Half Dome cables being up May 27, 2016 through October 11, 2016, but these dates could change based on conditions.
quote:
Approximately 50 permits will be available each day by lottery during the hiking season. These permits will be available based on the estimated rate of under-use and cancellation of permits
