Hey There,
Just in case it isn't clear, this will be a real sumo event
with all the same sumo athletes you see on TV (with yokozuna Hakuhō (白鵬) and Harumafuji Kōhei (日馬富士), etc.). The only difference is
that the ticket cost is cheaper, and the sumo will be much closer
because the arena is smaller (the arena is being custom built just for
this event).
I can also get "bleacher" seats in back, which cost 1500 or 1000 per person.
You should check out the arena map in the link below to see where all the different seats are located:
http://www.mochikichi.co.jp/special/sumou2012.phpThe sumo starts fairly early. The arena opens at 8:00AM, when the not-very-popular sumo start their training. At 11:00AM the popular sumo start their training. At 11:30 the opening ceremony starts. The match ends at 15:00PM.
This is a really, really great opportunity. Interested Fuk-IT (and friends and family of Fuk-IT) members please reply.
