Pokemon GO Fest 2025 Host Cities Announced

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

Pokemon GO Fest 2025 is coming to Osaka, Jersey City, and Paris! This year's event will span multiple locations, offering fans a chance to participate in this popular augmented reality event across different regions. Past GO Fest ticket prices have varied slightly by location and year.

While Pokemon GO's initial popularity has waned, the game retains a dedicated global player base. The annual Pokemon GO Fest, typically held in three cities with a subsequent global event, continues to be a major draw, bringing players together for unique Pokemon encounters. These events usually feature rare or new Pokemon spawns, including region-exclusive or previously unavailable Shiny Pokemon. Many fans consider attending worthwhile, and the global event provides similar benefits for those unable to travel.

The 2025 Pokemon GO Fest schedule is: Osaka, Japan (May 29 - June 1); Jersey City, New Jersey (June 6-8); and Paris, France (June 13-15). Further details, including ticket pricing and specific event features, will be revealed closer to the dates. Niantic will provide updates as they become available.

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

Anticipation is building for this year's Pokemon GO Fest. Historically, ticket prices have been relatively stable. In 2023 and 2024, the Japanese event cost approximately ¥3500-¥3600. European prices saw a decrease, from roughly $40 USD in 2023 to $33 in 2024. Pricing appears region-dependent; the US price remained at $30 for both years, while the global price was consistently $14.99.

However, a recent Community Day ticket price increase from $1 to $2 USD has sparked player discontent. This could foreshadow a potential price hike for Pokemon GO Fest. Given the negative reaction to this smaller price increase, Niantic is likely to approach any GO Fest price adjustments cautiously, especially considering the dedication of in-person attendees.
