Pokemon GO Fest 2025: Osaka, Jersey City, and Paris to Host the Event
Pokemon GO's 2025 GO Fest locations have been announced: Osaka, Japan; Jersey City, New Jersey; and Paris, France. Mark your calendars, trainers! These events will run from May 29th to June 15th, with each city hosting the festival over a three-day period.
While the initial Pokemon GO craze has subsided, the annual GO Fest remains a significant draw for players worldwide. These events offer unique opportunities to encounter rare and region-exclusive Pokemon, including Shiny variants. The global event typically mirrors many of the in-person experiences.
Specific details regarding 2025's GO Fest, including pricing and featured Pokemon, are yet to be released. Niantic promises further information as the event dates approach.
2024 GO Fest: A Potential Indicator of 2025 Pricing?
Ticket pricing for past GO Fests has varied geographically and experienced minor fluctuations year-over-year. The 2023 and 2024 Japanese events cost approximately ¥3500-¥3600, while European prices decreased from roughly $40 USD in 2023 to $33 in 2024. US pricing remained consistent at $30, with global tickets priced at $14.99 for both years.
Recent events, however, suggest potential changes. The recent price increase for Pokemon GO Community Day tickets (from $1 to $2 USD) has sparked player discontent. This could foreshadow a similar price hike for GO Fest tickets. Given the negative player reaction to this smaller price adjustment, Niantic will likely approach any GO Fest price increases cautiously, especially considering the dedication of players who travel internationally for these events.
