Pokémon Go has introduced an exciting new $100 Premier Access ticket upgrade for its upcoming Go Fest: Jersey City event. This upgrade not only unlocks a plethora of in-game items but also grants access to enhanced real-world facilities, including "upgraded restrooms." The Go Fest, the annual highlight of the summer for Pokémon Go enthusiasts, is set to occur at Liberty State Park in Jersey City, as well as in Paris, France, and Osaka, Japan.
Players attending the Jersey City event can now elevate their experience with the Premier Access add-on, as announced by developer Niantic. This premium upgrade, akin to a Business Class option, includes access to a dedicated Premier Access lounge. This exclusive area features "upgraded restrooms, portable charger kiosks with lockers, and seating to recharge yourself for your next adventure." Although specifics on the restroom upgrades remain undisclosed, the promise of improved facilities is certainly enticing.
Another key benefit of the Premier Access upgrade is fast-track entry to the event's Pokémon Center Pop-Up Store. This perk allows you to bypass the often lengthy queues and spend more time exploring and catching Pokémon, maximizing your limited playtime at the event.

The highlight of the Premier Access upgrade is undoubtedly the extensive array of in-game items it offers. With 100 Premium Battle Passes, 100 Super Incubators, 20 Max Particle Packs, and more, this upgrade provides immense value that could otherwise cost up to $300 if purchased separately. Here's a comprehensive list of what you'll receive:
Additionally, Premier Access ticket holders will receive an exclusive enamel pin badge.
The response to this ticket offer has been varied. Some players express concern over the unprecedented high cost of this upgrade, especially as Pokémon Go introduces more monetization options. Conversely, others appreciate the substantial value provided by the in-game items and see it as a worthwhile investment for those with the disposable income to further enhance their Go Fest experience.
IGN has reached out to Niantic to inquire if this Premier Access offer will be available at other Go Fest locations.
Pokémon Go Fest 2025 is scheduled for the weekend of May 29 in Osaka, the weekend of June 6 in Jersey City, and the weekend of June 13 in Paris. This year's event will spotlight the release of the Legendary creature Volcanion and the broader availability of the Mexican regional exclusive, Hawlucha.
