大相撲のチケット、年間3万円以上払ってファンクラブ入っても落選…一般に販売される枚数が大幅に減らされている - Togetter

This page summarizes discussions on social media about the difficulty of obtaining sumo tickets. Despite paying over 30,000 yen annually for fan club membership, many members fail to win ticket lotteries. General ticket availability has been significantly reduced, with venues filled with foreign tourists and tour groups instead of Japanese fans. Discussions reveal that ticket distribution appears to prioritize sumo wrestlers' families, tea house intermediaries, and tour operators over regular fan club members. Some users mention needing substantial donations to wrestlers' stables or purchasing through traditional tea houses to secure tickets.
