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. Dates are set for May 29-June 1 (Osaka), June 6-8 (Jersey City), and June 13-15 (Paris). Further details, including ticket pricing and event specifics, will be released closer to the event dates.

Past GO Fest Pricing and Potential 2025 Implications

Historical ticket prices for Pokemon GO Fest have varied geographically and shown minor fluctuations year-over-year. While 2023 and 2024 prices remained relatively consistent in some regions (e.g., ~$30 USD in the US, ~$15 USD globally), others saw changes. For instance, the Japanese event's cost remained around ¥3500-¥3600, while the European event saw a price reduction from ~$40 USD in 2023 to ~$33 USD in 2024.

Recent controversy surrounding a price increase for Pokemon GO Community Day tickets (from $1 to $2 USD) has sparked player concern regarding potential GO Fest price hikes. Given the negative community reaction to this smaller price adjustment, Niantic might exercise caution in setting prices for the 2025 GO Fest, particularly considering the dedication of attendees who travel internationally for these events. The company will likely carefully consider the pricing strategy to avoid further alienating its fanbase.
