I can pawn your kidneys for cash, just in case you need some liquidity.

Too much liquid is bad for someone without kidneys.

Well, that worked splendidly. On the hour, everything sold out.

 

Edit: or apparently I was just early. Tickets still available

Today (yesterday in Japan) after the rikishi-kai, Hello Kitty was appointed PR ambassador for the ozumo London koen, to represent Japanese (pop?) culture. Sanrio will cooperate with the NSK for the London event. The yusho winner(s) in London also get a Sanrio-sho, for which the trophy is a 100cm tall Hello Kitty plush toy.

Detailed report from TV Asahi - with long photo shoots, the 2nd with the kensho - event host was Hiro Morita

the NSK will likely post one as well

The long-awaited tickets are now being sent out. One ticket arrived yesterday, the second today. I'm really looking forward to the event and London; it's been about 30 years since I was in England....

Mine haven't, which is slightly worrying considering I probably live closer to RAH than most, so postage should've been expedite. Maybe those are actually shipped off from somewhere else in the UK, let's see.

I live in London and also haven't received it yet. I'm not too worried, though. They'll probably be here in the next week or so, and in any case showing the confirmation email should be enough to get in. 

Did you see that they're selling an in-ear device with Hiro Morita's live commentary?

Might they have send the international tickets first and keep the national ones for last since those should have the fastest delivery times?

I was able to add the commentary for one day but for the other it always glitches out.

I may be wrong, but I think those bar codes are way more valuable than your surname. I would never risk someone messing up with my ticket like that.

Wednesday ticket in. Sunday probably incoming.

I'll try to go relatively early so I hope to see some of you around. You should be able to recognise me fairly quickly. :-P

I didn't think about the crown at all, I just thought you were Shodai's twin.....

Kotozakura is worried if he can go to London with his injured right knee. Nothing snapped apart, he can walk again. He'll only do the dohyo-iri at the upcoming intai-zumo events and then has to decide, considering the recovery condition of the injured part.  o

I HATE VIAGOGO!

Greedy bastards. Cheapest left for Saturday is €293. Including fees and whatnot, it is €436. No, thanks. F****g vultures!

Yes, my mum would have loved to go along, but maybe would have stretched to £50. Not these absurd prices.

Quite frankly, Viagogo isn't even inflating the original prices that much.

You'd have needed around 2*50£ for the cheapest tickets via Royal Albert Hall's original sales, so I'm afraid that was always a no go if your hard cap was £50.

I caved and bought the last two ringside seats for Sunday. Regrettably I’ve had to resort to busking and opening an OnlyFans account to recoup the impact that buying those tickets made to my finances. DM me if you’d like to subscribe.

Well, at least your OnlyFans debut will have a ready-made fanbase: anyone who enjoys large men in very little clothing. My prediction is that many seats would remain unused unless you share publicly the account handle.
