It should be no problem to get ticket upon arrival unless you are traveling during public holiday. Personally speaking, if you will reach Zhuhai by bus, the total duration may not easy to control. It is better to buy ticket on spot.

I met this problem before! Some of them only offer standing tickets but you can sit on free seats after boarding. Some of them have assigned seats. Not sure why they are arranged in this way. Or you can choose first class seat which would be assigned seats.

The duration by ferry should be around 70min. Based on the information I found online, it runs at 9:50am, 12:30pm, 4:30pm and 8:30pm. The ticket price is HKD260 for normal seats. by this ferry from HK airport, you are only make a transfer so immigration and customs checks are not involved in HK.
