Niantic advertising because the event said "general admission tickets will be $ 12, while early arrival tickets will be $ 18" resulting in tickets being sold. When trying to buy tickets, these prices are again advertised until the screen gets too crowded, when a $ 3 / £ 4,20 fee can be charged for the $ 3 price and "fee" high.
