Pokémon GO Fest 2025 Destinations Revealed

Pokemon GO Fest 2025: Osaka, Jersey City, and Paris to Host the Event

Pokemon GO has announced the host cities for its 2025 GO Fest: Osaka (Japan), Jersey City (New Jersey), and Paris (France). The event will span several days in each location: Osaka (May 29-June 1), Jersey City (June 6-8), and Paris (June 13-15). Further details, including ticket pricing and event specifics, are yet to be revealed but will be shared closer to the dates.

Past GO Fest Pricing and Potential 2025 Implications

Ticket prices for previous Pokemon GO Fests varied by location and year. While generally stable, some fluctuations occurred. For instance, the Japanese event cost approximately ¥3500-¥3600 in 2023 and 2024, while the European event saw a price decrease from roughly $40 USD in 2023 to $33 in 2024. US prices remained consistent at $30, and global tickets were priced at $14.99 for both years. These regional differences suggest pricing for the 2025 event will likely vary by city.

Community Day Price Hike and Potential GO Fest Impact

Recent increases in Pokemon GO Community Day ticket prices (from $1 to $2 USD) have caused player discontent. This negative reaction may influence Niantic's pricing decisions for the 2025 GO Fest. Given the dedicated fanbase attending in-person events, a significant price increase could lead to further backlash. Niantic will likely proceed cautiously with pricing to avoid alienating this key segment of its player base.
