Most of us Malaysians are not really know how the tournament occurs and the arrangement of the seats. That’s why I include this entry in my blog to write what I know about tournament and the way people watch it. Although some people may watch it at the television but the best way to see it is to attend the sumo tournament. Tickets will be sold for each day of the 15 day of the tournament. It can be purchase in advance through official vendor or in online at via buysumotickets.com. Alternatively, they can be purchased at convenience stores or at the stadium like any other sports ticket. There are three types of seats that available for the visitors and the first type of seat are Ringside seats. This seats located at the closest to the ring as this seats are the most expensive and difficult to get but the ticket holders of this seats are sitting on a cushions on the floor and exposed to the risk of injury due to wrestlers flying into the spectators.
