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. These events will take place from May 29th to June 15th, with each city hosting the festival over a designated weekend. While specific details remain scarce, including pricing and featured Pokemon, Niantic promises further updates as the dates approach.
Despite a decline in overall popularity since its launch, Pokemon GO maintains a dedicated player base, and the annual GO Fest remains a significant draw, offering unique Pokemon encounters and region-exclusive spawns. The event's global counterpart provides many of the same benefits for players unable to attend in person.
2024's GO Fest: A Potential Indicator for 2025 Pricing?
Ticket pricing for past GO Fests has shown regional variations and minor fluctuations year-over-year. However, a recent price hike for Community Day tickets—from $1 to $2 USD—has sparked player discontent and raised concerns about potential GO Fest price increases. Given this negative feedback, Niantic is likely to approach any price adjustments for GO Fest with caution, especially considering the significant investment many dedicated fans make to attend these in-person events. The pricing for the 2024 events serves as a potential barometer for what might be expected in 2025. Past pricing ranged from approximately ¥3500-¥3600 in Japan, $30-$40 USD in Europe (decreasing to $33 in 2024), and $30 USD in the US, with a consistent global price of $14.99.
