I understand it is a few seconds of action for each match. I have also looked at the seating and to get three seats (rather than sitting on the floor Japanese style) we would be up a ways in the balcony area.
Overall for people who have seen a sumo tournament, would you say it is worth doing or not?
I have been many times, took my mother once and she had a fun time too ! The most important bouts/ring ceremonies are during the last few hours of the day. I would say go between 16:00-18:00 ! Nothing wrong with the box seats if you can get the tickets !
