Pokemon GO Fest 2025: Osaka, Jersey City, and Paris
Pokemon GO Fest 2025 will be held in three exciting locations: Osaka, Japan; Jersey City, New Jersey; and Paris, France. Dates are set for May 29th-June 1st in Osaka, June 6th-8th in Jersey City, and June 13th-15th in Paris. While specific details remain under wraps, including ticket pricing and featured Pokemon, Niantic promises further announcements as the events approach. Past GO Fest ticket prices have shown regional variations and minor year-to-year adjustments.
Past GO Fest Pricing and Potential 2025 Implications
Ticket costs for previous Pokemon GO Fests have varied geographically. For example, Japanese events in 2023 and 2024 ranged from ¥3500 to ¥3600, while European prices saw a reduction from approximately $40 USD in 2023 to $33 USD in 2024. US prices remained consistent at $30 in both years, with global tickets priced at $14.99. This regional pricing model suggests similar variations could be expected for the 2025 events.
Recent price increases for Pokemon GO Community Day tickets (from $1 to $2 USD) have sparked player discontent. This negative feedback could influence Niantic's pricing strategy for GO Fest 2025. Given the dedication of in-person attendees, a significant price hike could be met with strong resistance. Niantic will likely need to carefully consider pricing to avoid alienating its passionate fanbase.
