Pokemon GO Fest 2025: Osaka, Jersey City, and Paris!
Pokemon GO Fest 2025 is coming to Osaka, Jersey City, and Paris! This year's festival will span multiple locations and dates, offering fans worldwide a chance to participate. Past event ticket prices varied by location and year, prompting speculation about the 2025 costs.
While Pokemon GO's initial hype has subsided, the game maintains a dedicated global player base. GO Fest, a major in-person event, brings players together for unique Pokemon encounters, including region-exclusive and previously unavailable Shiny Pokemon. The event's popularity makes it worthwhile for many, while a global version offers similar benefits to those unable to attend in person.
The 2025 festivities 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). Specific details, including pricing and event features, are yet to be announced by Niantic, with more information promised closer to the dates.
2024 GO Fest: A Potential Indicator for 2025 Pricing?
The cost of past GO Fest tickets provides a glimpse into potential pricing for 2025. Ticket prices have shown some regional variation and modest fluctuations. In 2023 and 2024, Japanese events cost approximately ¥3500-¥3600, while European prices decreased from roughly $40 USD in 2023 to $33 in 2024. US prices remained consistent at $30 across both years, with global tickets priced at $14.99.
This year's Pokemon GO events have already generated excitement, but a recent Community Day ticket price increase from $1 to $2 USD has sparked player discontent. This price hike has raised concerns about potential GO Fest price increases. Given this negative feedback, Niantic will likely approach any potential GO Fest price adjustments cautiously, particularly considering the dedication of in-person attendees.
