[sumo] Kyushu Basho Ticket Questions

[Jezz]

Hi,

Not sure about the etiquette about part selling the masu-seki seats,
but is this something you really want to do?

Those boxes are a real squish for four people - especially if they are
strangers!

Perhaps, you could consider allowing yourselves the luxury of having
just two people in the masu-seki.  That way you can stretch out legs,
*and* have space to put your snacks, drinks, souvenirs, jumper etc :)

All the best,

Jejima
