I blame Endo, the ticket craze started when he was gaining popularity. Then came Kotoshogiku winning the first Japan-born yusho in 10 years, followed by Goeido and finally Kisenosato. Add in young up and comers like Mitakeumi, Shoudai and Hokotofuji and demand is very high.

Lucky for us in Fukuoka, you can still get seats on weekdays for the Nov tourney, particularly the first week.
