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, including region-exclusive and previously unavailable Shiny forms.
The 2025 event schedule is as follows: Osaka (May 29th - June 1st), Jersey City (June 6th - 8th), and Paris (June 13th - 15th). Further details, including ticket pricing and specific in-game features, will be revealed closer to the event dates.
2024 GO Fest: A Potential Indicator of 2025 Pricing?
Ticket prices for past GO Fest events have shown some regional variation and minor year-to-year fluctuations. For example, the Japanese event cost approximately ¥3500-¥3600 in 2023 and 2024. European prices decreased from roughly $40 USD in 2023 to $33 USD in 2024. US prices remained consistent at $30 USD, while global tickets cost $14.99 in both years.
However, a recent price increase for Pokemon GO Community Day tickets (from $1 to $2 USD) has sparked player discontent. This has raised concerns about potential price hikes for the 2025 GO Fest. Given the negative player reaction to this smaller price increase, Niantic is likely to proceed cautiously with any GO Fest pricing adjustments, especially considering the dedication of players who travel internationally for these events.
