Pokemon GO Fest 2025: Osaka, Jersey City, and Paris!
Pokemon GO's 2025 GO Fest locations have been revealed: Osaka (May 29-June 1), Jersey City (June 6-8), and Paris (June 13-15). While details remain scarce, these three international hubs promise exciting events for dedicated trainers. Past GO Fests have featured unique Pokemon spawns, including region-restricted and previously unavailable Shiny forms, making the in-person experience highly sought-after. A global event typically follows, offering many of the same benefits for those unable to attend in person.
Pricing and Potential Changes: Lessons from 2024
Ticket prices for past GO Fests have shown some regional variation and minor year-to-year adjustments. In 2023 and 2024, prices ranged from approximately ¥3500-¥3600 in Japan, while European prices dropped from roughly $40 to $33. US prices remained consistent at $30, and global tickets were $14.99 both years.
Recent controversy surrounding a price hike for Community Day tickets (from $1 to $2 USD) has sparked concern among players about potential GO Fest price increases. Given the negative player reaction to this smaller price increase, Niantic is likely to approach any GO Fest pricing changes cautiously, especially considering the dedicated fanbase that travels internationally for these events. Further information on 2025 pricing and event specifics will be released closer to the dates.
