How much would you pay for an event ticket

Suppose three different scenarios:

A: Rewards an event-limited-edition Pokémon (say Pikachu with a special shirt);
B: Rewards an event-limited-edition Pokémon and one random legendary; assuming that one still can acquire legendaries outside the event, but with a rate of no more than that of encountering a Shiny Magikarp;
C: You can pick the legendary. Others are the same as scenario B.

How much would you pay at most for each type of tickets?
And if these tickets are tradable, what do u think the price range would be?

Only cosmetic rewards. Period. Everything else is a horrible idea.

I would pay as much as any other convention to go to a Pokemon Go convention.

What about the Lapras and Snorlax events in Japan? What about regional pokemon like Heracross? I don't really see it as an issue, as long as it isn't something that people could spoof to.

I still think everyone should have a chance at a Legendary, but other than that, I don't really see an issue with a special event pokemon, even if it is a good pokemon. It's not like a Zapdos is going to change the balance of power in a town or anything like that.

I'm more worried about how my everyday game play is affected by things.

I imagine this will be getting a bunch of down-votes, but that doesn't changed the fact that Niantic has already had events in which the vast majority of players could not participate and the reality of those events is they did little to change any balance of power.

I'd rather face a ton of Snorlax and Heracross than a couple of Legendaries. The hell dude? Did I already mention this game is already tilted? Because of some of those events and toxic community ruining the game via exploits and cheats? You think releasing Legendaries via these events that most people cannot go to would not cause imbalance?

I don't think it would create an imbalance of gameplay so much as furious backlash from most of the trainers. You have to figure while a handful of people will travel most are going to be local.

The Legendaries are just a couple more crappy defenders with double weaknesses.

Not more than for a cinema ticket, and only if I can pay it in Pokecoins from gyms

if it is just a special pikachu or something i do not care.

if it is legionaries and they are not reasonable available otherwise then they will have done me the favor of giving me the motivation to finally quit this game.

(I live in Australia there is nothing here)

From a post on the SR, Ingress "location" based events seem to mostly be to collect Badges (sorta like account profile accomplishments). Since no one can see our medals or badges and it's mostly Pokemon we own, I don't think many PoGo players would care to get a new medal that no one can see...

This makes me think it'd be an event Pokemon (something others can see), but nothing to the scale of a Legendary (actually useful)...

Ingress also seems like a different animal/beast where teammates and coordinating with team leaders is actually a thing.

From the sounds of it, you sorta get your orders from your team leader (you're the Walmart stockboy and he's the stock manager) and the team leader gets his info from his higher up, etc...
