This is pathetic. I'm sorry, I've said it before, and I will say it again, it is a game. If you flew to see a concert and it was cancelled, all you would get is your ticket price back. Instead, Niantic is offering far more than that. And I say this as someone who did go, and had a lot of issues there. Also, many of those issues were caused by various cell phone companies not providing extra coverage as Niantic requested that they do. So I have to wonder just how much blame really falls on them? If a concert is cancelled due to weather, would these people sue the band? People are just too quick to sue, and the only ones who make any money out of it are the lawyers. I'm sorry, but these people were never going to get that kind of value from this event. And anyone who didn't expect problems, when there have always been issues with new features (like thousands of people in a small area doing legendary raids?). Anyone who didn't expect that must not have been playing the game very long.

@yerkiddinme And they are getting the price of the ticket back, just as would happen with a concert. Not airfare nor hotel.
