Pokemon GO Fest 2025 Host Cities Announced

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

Pokemon GO has announced the locations 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 dates.

Past GO Fest Pricing and Potential 2025 Implications

While the excitement builds, pricing for past GO Fests provides some insight. Ticket costs have historically varied by region, with minor fluctuations year-to-year. For example, the Japanese event hovered around ¥3500-¥3600 in 2023 and 2024, while the European event saw a price reduction from roughly $40 USD in 2023 to $33 in 2024. US prices remained consistent at $30, and global tickets were $14.99 for both years.

A recent price increase for Pokemon GO Community Day tickets (from $1 to $2 USD) has sparked player concern. This could foreshadow a similar price hike for GO Fest tickets. Given the existing player discontent over the Community Day price adjustment, Niantic will likely approach GO Fest pricing cautiously, especially considering the dedication of players who travel internationally for these events. The company will need to balance revenue generation with maintaining player satisfaction.
