Almost total lack of connectivity wasn't exactly mitigated by server-side infrastructure being unable to handle the load from increased traffic actually coming in.
According to this silph road post a number of patches were duct taped onto the event to somewhat lessen the blow.
- Refunding tickets
- Giving attendees a hefty chunk of pokecoins to cover the worst wounds
- All registered attendees receiving the legendary pokemon Lugia added to theor decks
- The venue being extended to a two mile radius covering the park and another 48 hours for grabbing the candy pokemon
- Criteria for legendary raids were met, as in were set to be met
The official 'we just screwed ourselves over royally' can be found here.
Rumours have it that legendary raids have already opened up in Australia.
All in all we're talking a mostly unmitigated disaster.
