by

Summary

  • Pokemon GO Fest 2025 will be in Osaka, Jersey City, and Paris.
  • Ticket prices for past events varied by region, with slight price variations over the years.
  • Players aren’t pleased with the Community Day ticket price increase, hinting at potential GO Fest cost hike.

Even though the new year is still fresh, Pokemon GO is already preparing for its upcoming Pokemon GO Fest and has revealed the cities where the event will take place. Enthusiasts who attend Pokemon GO Fests annually should definitely save the dates.

Although the initial excitement surrounding Pokemon GO has waned since its debut, people worldwide continue to play and savor the game. A significant gathering that brings players together in person is the Pokemon GO Fest, which usually takes place in three cities, with a global version following suit. At these events, players often encounter new or scarcely found Pokemon, including species typically limited to specific regions or yet to be revealed in their Shiny form. Many fans find the experience valuable enough to attend, while those unable to do so can still enjoy many of the same perks through the global version.

2025 sees Pokemon GO announcing its three chosen cities for a special event: Osaka, Japan, Jersey City, New Jersey, and Paris, France in that order. The Osaka leg of the event takes place from May 29 to June 1, with Jersey City hosting from June 6-8, and lastly, Paris, France from June 13-15. As of now, no specifics have been disclosed about the event, such as pricing or what the Pokemon GO Fests will entail this time. Niantic promises to unveil more details as the events approach.

2024’s Pokemon GO Fest May Shed Light on 2025 Plans

As a die-hard Pokemon GO fan, I can’t help but get excited about what this year’s Pokemon GO Fest has in store for us! Over the past few years, the ticket prices have generally stayed within a similar range. In Japan, for instance, fans like me have been paying around ¥3500- ¥3600 since 2023. Interestingly, the European event saw a decrease in price, with attendees paying approximately $40 USD in 2023 but only $33 in 2024. The cost can vary significantly depending on the region you’re in. For example, in the US, the ticket price remained at $30 for both years, while globally it was set at $14.99 across the same period.

The advent of Pokemon GO has brought about fresh events and interactions, yet players express dissatisfaction over certain aspects. Specifically, the price hike of the Pokemon GO Community Day tickets from $1 to $2 USD has caused discontent among the community. This rise in price could potentially signal a similar increase for the Pokemon GO Fest events. Given that Niantic is already facing criticism over this minor price hike, they must exercise caution, particularly since the attendees of in-person GO Fest are usually dedicated fans who travel for the unique experience.
