Pokémon GO Fest 2025 Destined for Global Landmarks

Pokemon GO Fest 2025: Osaka, Jersey City, and Paris!

Pokemon GO Fest 2025 is heading to Osaka, Jersey City, and Paris! This exciting news comes early in the year, giving fans ample time to plan their travel for this much-anticipated event. Past GO Fest ticket prices varied by location and year, suggesting potential price fluctuations for 2025.

While Pokemon GO's initial popularity has waned, the game maintains a dedicated global player base. The annual Pokemon GO Fest, typically held in three cities with a subsequent global event, remains a major draw. These events feature unique Pokemon spawns, including region-exclusive and previously unavailable Shiny forms, making attendance highly desirable. The global event often mirrors many of the in-person experiences.

The 2025 Pokemon GO Fest 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). Details regarding event specifics, including pricing and featured Pokemon, are yet to be released. Niantic promises further information closer to the event dates.

2024's GO Fest: A Potential Indicator for 2025 Pricing?

Anticipation for this year's Pokemon GO Fest is high, and ticket pricing is a key point of interest. Historically, ticket costs have remained relatively stable, with regional variations. In 2023 and 2024, Japan saw prices around ¥3500-¥3600, while Europe experienced a price decrease from roughly $40 USD in 2023 to $33 in 2024. The US maintained a consistent $30 price, and the global event cost $14.99 in both years.

Despite unveiling exciting new in-game events, Pokemon GO has faced player backlash over a recent Community Day ticket price increase from $1 to $2 USD. This has sparked concerns about potential price hikes for the Pokemon GO Fest. Given this negative reaction, Niantic is likely to approach 2025 pricing cautiously, especially considering the dedication of in-person attendees who often travel significant distances for the event.
