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 discusses sumo ticket acquisition difficulties on social media. Despite paying over 30,000 yen annually for fan club membership, members face rejection while venues are filled with foreign tourists and tour groups. General ticket allocations have been significantly reduced. Users criticize the Japan Sumo Association, pointing to issues like unequal distribution through wrestling stables, tea house intermediaries controlling tickets, and lack of transparency in allocation. Some suggest implementing affordable ticket systems similar to kabuki's standing-room tickets to improve access for Japanese fans.
