The first Pokémon GO live festival in Chicago wasn’t exactly a success. Niantic initially said scheduled European events would go ahead as planned before later deciding to postpone some of them.
The company has now announced the dates of four festivals in Europe and Scandinavia …
The four events, originally scheduled for last month, will now take place in the fall, says Niantic.
Other Pokémon GO events are going ahead as planned in France, Germany and Spain on September 16.

Niantic explained what will be on offer at each event.
You need to register in advance to participate. The company promised to release details nearer the time, but you’ll book a free, non-transferrable ticket online that will allow you to pick up a QR code on the day. You’ll need photo ID and to be older than 13.
Niantic blamed carriers for the problems in Chicago, with many attendees unable to use the game at all, and others unable to login or suffering crashes. Hopefully this time around it will have put in place arrangements for a sufficient number of mobile cell towers.
