[sumo] Kyushu Basho Ticket Questions

[Joshua Maciel]

Ah, the joys of impulse buying...

As some of you may know, online ticket sales for the Kyushu basho
started on Saturday morning. I was just going to buy the C box seats
for 2 people, as there are only two of us going, until I saw a masu A
box (for 4) open on senshuuraku.

I had to buy it. It'd be a crime not to.

But the question that follows is whether it would also be a crime to
resale two of the four tickets. The seats are absolutely tremendous
(8th box back, right next to the hanamichi), and while I would
normally just haul along two friends and suck up the extra cost for
infecting someone with the sumo bug, I know very few people in Kyushu,
or folks that will haul themselves down to Kyushu to watch sumo.

So the bottom line is, will the sumo folks send enforcer rikishi to my
house to do mandatory keiko for days if I put two of the four on an
internet auction? Or is that accepted practice?
