Pokemon GO Fest 2025 Host Cities Announced

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 game's initial fervor has subsided, GO Fest remains a major draw, bringing players together worldwide for exclusive Pokemon encounters and releases. These events often feature rare spawns, region-restricted Pokemon, and Shiny debuts.

The 2025 event schedule is as follows: Osaka (May 29 - June 1), Jersey City (June 6-8), and Paris (June 13-15). Further details, including pricing and specific Pokemon, will be revealed closer to the dates.

2024 GO Fest: A Potential Indicator of 2025 Pricing?

Ticket prices for past GO Fests have varied geographically and shown minor fluctuations year-over-year. For example, the Japanese event cost approximately ¥3500-¥3600 in 2023 and 2024. European prices decreased from roughly $40 USD in 2023 to $33 in 2024, while the US remained consistent at $30. Global tickets were priced at $14.99 for both years.

However, a recent Community Day ticket price increase from $1 to $2 USD has sparked player discontent. This could signal a potential price hike for GO Fest tickets. Given the negative reaction to this smaller increase, Niantic may need to carefully consider any price adjustments for GO Fest, especially given the dedication of attendees who travel significant distances for these events.
