Pokémon Go Fest (http://www.pokemongolive.com/fest) is coming to Chicago next month, but if you missed out on getting a ticket in the initial sale, you're gonna have to shell out a couple hundred bucks to ticket scalpers.*
Tickets for Niantic's Pokémon Go Fest went on sale Monday morning, but the $20 tickets sold out in 15 minutes, Polygon reported (https://www.polygon.com/2017/6/20/15837628/pokemon-go-fest-tickets-for-sale-ebay) today. Scalpers turned around and put the tickets up for sale through third party resellers like eBay (http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_sacat=0&_nkw=pokemon+go+chicago&_sop=16) and Stubhub (https://www.stubhub.com/pokemon-tickets-pokemon-chicago-grant-park-7-22-2017/event/103037689/?mbox=1&sort=price+asc&qty=1&qqd=1&qtyq=false) with individual ticket prices ranging from $150 to $1,000.
