Pokemon GO Fest 2025 Announcement: Host Cities Revealed

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

Pokemon GO Fest 2025 will be held in Osaka, Jersey City, and Paris. Past event ticket prices varied by location and year, with minor fluctuations. Recent Community Day ticket price increases have sparked player concern, suggesting potential GO Fest price hikes.

The Pokemon GO phenomenon, while not as widespread as its initial launch, continues to engage players globally. A key event uniting players in person is the annual Pokemon GO Fest, typically held across three cities with a subsequent global event. These Fests feature unique Pokemon spawns, including region-exclusive or previously un-shiny Pokemon, making attendance attractive for many. The global event mirrors many of these benefits for those unable to attend in person.

For 2025, the chosen cities are Osaka (May 29 - June 1), Jersey City (June 6-8), and Paris (June 13-15). Details regarding pricing and event specifics remain undisclosed, with Niantic promising further information closer to the dates.

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

Anticipation for this year's Pokemon GO Fest is high. Historically, ticket prices have shown relative stability. In 2023 and 2024, Japanese events cost approximately ¥3500-¥3600, while European prices dropped from roughly $40 USD in 2023 to $33 in 2024. Regional differences are significant; US prices remained at $30 across both years, while global tickets cost $14.99.

While exciting new in-game events have been launched, a recent Community Day ticket price increase from $1 to $2 has drawn criticism. This raises concerns about potential GO Fest price increases. Given the negative player reaction to this smaller price adjustment, Niantic might approach any GO Fest price changes cautiously, especially considering the dedication of in-person attendees.
