Pokémon GO Fest Returns in 2025!

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

Pokemon GO Fest 2025 is heading to Osaka, Jersey City, and Paris! This exciting news has fans worldwide marking their calendars. Past GO Fest ticket prices varied by location and year, prompting speculation about 2025 pricing.

While Pokemon GO's initial popularity has waned, the game maintains a strong player base. GO Fest remains a major draw, uniting players globally through in-person events and a corresponding global experience. These events typically feature unique Pokemon spawns, including region-exclusive and previously un-released Shiny variants.

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). Further details, including pricing and specific event features, are yet to be announced by Niantic, with more information promised closer to the event dates.

2024 GO Fest: A Potential Indicator for 2025?

The pricing of past GO Fest events offers some insight. Ticket costs have generally remained consistent. In 2023 and 2024, the Japanese event hovered around ¥3500-¥3600, while the European event saw a price reduction from roughly $40 USD in 2023 to $33 in 2024. Regional variations are significant; the US price was $30 in both years, and the global price remained at $14.99.

While Pokemon GO has launched new events for 2024, a recent Community Day ticket price hike from $1 to $2 USD has upset players. This sparks concern about potential GO Fest price increases. Given the negative player reaction to this smaller price adjustment, Niantic is likely to proceed cautiously, particularly considering the dedication of in-person GO Fest attendees.
