"Go Fest ticket drawing seemed too much like a contest"

#PokemonGO: While majority of us on The Silphroad are well informed on what is happening in Pokémon Go there are still a lot of players that aren’t. Many players don’t bother to read social media postings or even the in game news.The Go Fest drawing menu then suddenly popped up in game and offered players a chance to enter in a draw for Go Fest tickets. For the average casual player who doesn’t follow Pokémon Go news this would sound like a contest to win free tickets to Go Fest.There are probably thousands upon thousands who entered the draw for this reason, and with the waves being so small it will be very hard for those who actually wish to attend to get tickets.Hopefully Niantic can do something to figure out this system. Many of us still need to book flights and hotels, so waiting forever for an invite won’t make it easy. via /r/TheSilphRoad http://bit.ly/2vj7q7C
