Pokemon GO Fest 2025: Osaka, Jersey City, and Paris
Pokemon GO Fest 2025 will be held in Osaka, Jersey City, and Paris. Past events have seen varying ticket prices depending on location, with minor fluctuations year to year. Recent increases in Community Day ticket prices have raised player concerns about potential price hikes for GO Fest.
Despite the game's reduced overall popularity since its launch, Pokemon GO remains a beloved title for many worldwide. The annual Pokemon GO Fest, typically held across three cities with a subsequent global event, continues to be a major draw, offering unique Pokemon spawns, including region-exclusive and previously un-Shiny Pokémon. While attendance is highly valued by many fans, the global event provides similar benefits for those unable to travel.
The 2025 events will take place in Osaka, Japan (May 29 - June 1), Jersey City, New Jersey (June 6-8), and Paris, France (June 13-15). Details on pricing and specific event features are yet to be released by Niantic, with further information promised as the events approach.
2024's Pokemon GO Fest: A Potential Indicator?
Anticipation is high for this year's Pokemon GO Fest. Historically, ticket prices have remained relatively stable. In 2023 and 2024, the Japanese event cost approximately ¥3500-¥3600, while the European event saw a price reduction from roughly $40 USD in 2023 to $33 in 2024. Regional pricing appears to be a significant factor; the US price remained consistent at $30 across both years, while the global price was $14.99.
While exciting new in-game events have been unveiled, a recent price increase for Pokemon GO Community Day tickets (from $1 to $2 USD) has sparked negative player reaction. This could foreshadow potential price adjustments for GO Fest. Given this existing player discontent, Niantic will likely proceed cautiously, especially considering the dedicated fanbase that travels for these special events.
