Pokemon GO Fest 2025: Osaka, Jersey City, and Paris!
Pokemon GO Fest 2025 is heading to Osaka, Jersey City, and Paris! Past events have shown ticket prices vary by location and year, with minor fluctuations. Recent increases in Community Day ticket prices have some fans concerned about potential GO Fest pricing.
Despite a slight decline in overall popularity since its launch, Pokemon GO maintains a dedicated player base worldwide. The annual Pokemon GO Fest, typically held in three cities with a subsequent global event, remains a major draw. These festivals feature unique Pokemon spawns, including region-exclusives and Shiny debuts, making them highly sought-after experiences. Those unable to attend in person can still participate in the global event.
The 2025 events are scheduled for:
- Osaka, Japan: May 29 - June 1
- Jersey City, New Jersey: June 6 - 8
- Paris, France: June 13 - 15
Further details, including pricing and specific in-game content, will be announced closer to the dates. Niantic promises more information soon.
2024 GO Fest: A Potential Indicator for 2025?
The pricing history of Pokemon GO Fest offers some clues. Ticket costs have remained relatively consistent: around ¥3500-¥3600 in Japan (2023 & 2024), with a decrease in European prices ($40 in 2023, $33 in 2024). US prices stayed at $30, while global tickets were consistently $14.99. Regional variations seem to be a significant factor.
While Pokemon GO has launched other exciting events, a recent price hike for Community Day tickets (from $1 to $2 USD) has sparked community backlash. This raises concerns about potential GO Fest price increases. Given this negative reaction, Niantic will likely approach any price adjustments cautiously, particularly considering the dedicated fanbase attending in-person events.
