Pokemon GO Fest 2025: Osaka, Jersey City, and Paris
Pokemon GO Fest 2025 is heading to Osaka, Jersey City, and Paris! Past event ticket prices varied by location and year, with minor fluctuations. However, recent increases in Community Day ticket prices have fans concerned about potential GO Fest price hikes.
Despite a decline in overall popularity since its launch, Pokemon GO maintains a dedicated player base worldwide. The annual Pokemon GO Fest, typically held across three cities with a subsequent global event, remains a major draw. These events feature unique Pokemon spawns, including region-exclusive or previously unavailable Shiny forms. While attending in person is highly valued by many, the global event offers similar benefits for those who can't travel.
The 2025 Fest will kick off in Osaka, Japan (May 29 - June 1), followed by Jersey City, New Jersey (June 6-8), and concluding in Paris, France (June 13-15). Further details, including pricing and specific event features, are yet to be announced. Niantic promises more information as the events approach.
2024 GO Fest: A Potential Indicator for 2025?
The 2024 Pokemon GO Fest provides clues about potential 2025 pricing. Ticket prices have generally remained consistent. In 2023 and 2024, Japanese events cost approximately ¥3500-¥3600, while European prices decreased from roughly $40 USD in 2023 to $33 in 2024. Regional differences are significant; US prices were $30 in both years, and global prices remained at $14.99.
While Pokemon GO has launched new events, the recent doubling of Community Day ticket prices (from $1 to $2 USD) has angered players. This sparks concern about potential GO Fest price increases. Given the negative reaction to this relatively small price hike, Niantic will likely proceed cautiously, particularly considering the dedicated fanbase who travel for these special events.
