Niantic has already offered to refund all ticket costs for attendees, and offered attendees US$100 in in-game currency.
The TechCrunch website reported on March 31 that Niantic is settling a class-action lawsuit brought against the company seeking monetary damages to recover travel expenses for Niantic’s Pokémon GO Fest event last July.
Niantic held the event for its Pokémon GO game at Grant Park in Chicago on July 22.
Niantic offered refunds for the price of admission, PokéCoins worth US$100, and the Lugia Pokémon.
