Pokemon GO Live Events Announced

Pikachu fans rejoice!  Today Niantic and the Pokemon Company announced a series of Pokemon GO events coming in the near future to several destinations-  the USA, Europe and Japan.  These events are sure to draw huge crowds of Pokemon Trainers.  Niantic has not announced many details yet, but we do know the events are multi-day events, and require registration and tickets to attend.

The first event will be held at Grant Park in Chicago, IL on July 22, 2017.  If you are interested in traveling to Chicago, Request a Quote and I can book your flights and hotel!  Tickets for the event will open for sale July 19. There are specific host hotels that may offer event-related perks, but are high end hotels: Fairmont and Swissotel.  These luxury properties are easily several hundred dollars a night, even at the promotional rates. There are more reasonable options, very close to Grant Park.


Niantic also announced events in Europe in the coming weeks, in association with Unibail-Rodamco shopping centers, which are found throughout Europe.  Stay tuned for more details on these events!  

Perhaps the most exciting news is the hint at a Pikachu Event in Yokohama, Japan, to be held in August.  Fans will remember the success of the Lapras event held in the Tohuko area of Japan last year.  If you've ever wanted to travel to Japan, this would be an amazing opportunity to do so- Request a Quote and put me to work!  Let me help you get to Yokohama and catch those Pikachu!
