[sumo] Kyushu Basho Ticket Questions

[Joshua Maciel]

If the tickets were cheaper, I'd love to have it just be the two of
us. Seeing as how Masu A seats cost 46,000+ yen, I think I'd enjoy
having half the money back instead. I've gotten Masu A seats for
Osaka, and Nagoya, and both times weren't too bad with 4 people. Even
if they are strangers, I'm a scary furriner, and they will likely give
me room.
