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

Pokemon GO Fest 2025 is heading to Osaka, Jersey City, and Paris! This exciting news, announced early in the year, gives fans plenty of time to plan their travel. While Pokemon GO's initial fervor has subsided, the GO Fest remains a major draw, bringing players together worldwide. These events typically feature unique Pokemon spawns, including region-exclusive and previously unavailable Shiny forms.

The 2025 Fest kicks 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 in-game content, are yet to be revealed by Niantic, but more information is promised as the dates approach.

2024 GO Fest: A Potential Indicator for 2025 Pricing?

The pricing of past GO Fest tickets offers some insight into potential costs for 2025. Ticket prices have shown regional variations and minor fluctuations year-over-year. In 2023 and 2024, Japanese events cost approximately ¥3500-¥3600, while European prices decreased from roughly $40 USD in 2023 to $33 in 2024. US prices remained consistent at $30 across both years, with global tickets priced at $14.99.

Community Day Price Hike Sparks Concern

While anticipation builds for 2025's GO Fest, a recent price increase for Pokemon GO Community Day tickets—from $1 to $2 USD—has generated negative feedback from the community. This unexpected increase raises concerns about potential price hikes for GO Fest tickets. Given the backlash, Niantic will likely proceed cautiously, especially considering the dedicated fanbase who invest time and resources to attend these in-person events.
