Well,The Sex Factor Episode 8 Playing With The Pros on top of giving attendees refunds and bonus in-game currency to make up for the terrible event, developer Niantic is paying out over $1 million to disappointed visitors.

Unfortunately, there were very long lines that stretched for blocks and attendees were having trouble connecting to Pokémon Go's servers, kind of ruining the whole point of the event.
Throughout the day, Niantic was trying to put out fires, but the whole thing was being live streamed and live Tweeted so the world was well-aware of how poorly the event was going.

To make up for it, Niantic offered attendees ticket refunds ($20) and in-game items (valued at $100), but many people traveled to Chicago specifically for the event, which meant they had added costs like airfare, hotels, and more. Niantic's $1.6 million settlement will cover those costs.
A website for people to claim that they are a part of the settlement will go up in May, TechCrunch reported, and people may need to provide receipts to receive compensation for their expenses.
