Pokemon GO Fest 2025: Osaka, Jersey City, and Paris to Host the Event
Pokemon GO's 2025 GO Fest locations have been announced: Osaka, Japan; Jersey City, New Jersey; and Paris, France. Mark your calendars, trainers! While the initial Pokemon GO craze has subsided, the annual GO Fest remains a significant draw for players worldwide, offering unique Pokemon encounters and special events not available elsewhere.
The 2025 Fest will span three weekends: Osaka (May 29 - June 1), Jersey City (June 6-8), and Paris (June 13-15). Further details, including ticket pricing and specific event features, are yet to be released by Niantic, but more information is promised as the dates approach.
2024 GO Fest: A Potential Indicator for 2025 Pricing?
Ticket prices for past GO Fests have shown regional variations and minor year-to-year fluctuations. However, a recent price hike for Pokemon GO Community Day tickets—from $1 to $2 USD—has sparked player concern about potential GO Fest price increases. Given the negative community reaction to this smaller price adjustment, Niantic is likely to approach any GO Fest pricing changes cautiously, especially considering the dedication of players who travel internationally for these events. The 2024 GO Fest pricing will likely offer clues about the 2025 pricing strategy. Past pricing varied: Japan saw approximately ¥3500-¥3600 in 2023 and 2024; Europe saw a decrease from roughly $40 USD in 2023 to $33 in 2024; and the US remained at $30 in both years, with global tickets consistently priced at $14.99. These regional differences suggest that 2025 pricing will likely continue this trend.
