Akinomaki 40,460 Posted March 28, 2018 All days sell-out as usual, and the TV rankings got a bit better in the 2nd week: day 14, where Kakuryu got the yusho, reached 18.3% - after that a drop to a low of 14.8% for the last day - sumo like that is no match anymore for Shoten, which got with 16.2%. http://www.sankei.com/entertainments/news/180328/ent1803280001-n1.html I'll add the Kansai data later Haru 18 Day Kanto % peak Kansai % peak 1 14. 13.7 2 24. 13.5 3 24. 13.5 4 30. 12.9 5 19. 14.3 6 6. 15.7 20. 14.2 7 15. 14.8 8 10. 15.2 19. 14.5 9 12. 15.2 10 11. 15.5 11 5. 17.8 12 10. 15.6 13 15. 15.1 14 3. 18.3 15 17. 14.8 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Akinomaki 40,460 Posted April 7, 2018 (edited) The tickets for the Natsu basho were gone in an instant again, the scandals haven't affected sales (or did they even increase the interest because of sumo in the main news each day?) https://www.asahi.com/articles/ASL475F52L47UTQP02W.html No minutes given yet - I managed to get for the 2nd week my targeted 1-person masu seat A, of which only about 20 are available for each day - for the 1st week the ticket chance lottery brought me one result of 3 tries (accounts) with 3 chances each - the 1 person masu seats are not included in there. I might have even got a B one for day 1 or C for day 15 - but it was a matter of seconds when sales started at 10a.m. JST (3.a.m. for me) and the site gives "crowded" errors all the time, which force you to start again.

Kintamayama 45,109 Posted April 7, 2018 So, one may say that all scandals notwithstanding, the top guys' unclear current condition notwithstanding, there are no tickets left, even not with standing. 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Akinomaki 40,460 Posted September 26, 2018 (edited) As usual all days of the basho a sell out - the TV ratings from the Kanto top 30 and Kansai top 20, 2nd half of makuuchi Top was day 10 with the kachi-koshi of Kisenosato - 19.7%, 2nd this year after 20.2% for Hatsu day 14, the top for Nagoya was just 15.5%. Only one day was not ranked in: day 15 - just 12.8% - nothing interesting left for the fans, so they rather watched ever popular Shoten (17.7%), which had dropped out for the other Sundays. Again quite some differences between Kanto and Kansai (where Goeido and Ikioi originate from) - also for day 14, where Goeido still had a chance for the yusho Aki 18 Day Kanto % peak Kansai % peak 1 8. 15.9 7. 17.2 2 9. 16.7 3 8. 17.0 4 11. 16.1 18. 14.9 5 5. 17.2 12. 15.9 6 5. 17.2 2. 18.9 7 3. 17.5 5. 17.1 8 5. 17.2 11. 16.0 9 3. 19.3 3. 18.3 10 2. 19.7 9. 15.7 11 12. 16.4 9. 15.7 12 5. 19.0 4. 18.1 13 8. 17.6 6. 17.5 14 8. 17.6 5. 17.7 15 31. 12.8 http://www.sankei.com/entertainments/news/180912/ent1809120001-n2.html https://www.sankei.com/west/news/180915/wst1809150008-n2.html http://www.sankei.com/entertainments/news/180919/ent1809190002-n1.html http://www.sankei.com/west/news/180922/wst1809220013-n1.html http://www.sankei.com/entertainments/news/180926/ent1809260002-n1.html http://www.sankei.com/west/news/180929/wst1809290006-n1.html Edited September 29, 2018 by Akinomaki 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Akinomaki 40,460 Posted November 12, 2018 The streak of sell-out days at the basho ended at 88 - today about 400 tickets were left unsold: 6600 attended, hall capacity is 6986. At least the 2 year streak of full house days is likely to continue the whole basho. http://www.sanspo.com/sports/news/20181112/sum18111221230012-n1.html 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's a decision for each given day. It is more or less simply determined by the present mood of the NSK administration and varies from one venue to the other, esp. Tokyo and regional, and may vary over the years: from 75% (there recently was an article that told of cases with even less, or in the past of at least 80%) to 95% (not anymore - in the past maybe, and voices of "it should be", 90% is enough now) of a sellout on that day: if they feel that the quota is reached at about 14h, they lower the man-in onrei banners before makuuchi.
