Pokémon GO Fest 2025 Host Cities Revealed

Pokemon GO Fest 2025: Osaka, Jersey City, and Paris!

Pokemon GO Fest 2025 is heading to Osaka, Jersey City, and Paris! Past events have shown ticket prices vary by location and year, with minor fluctuations. However, recent price increases for Community Day tickets have some players concerned about potential GO Fest cost hikes.

Despite a slight decline in overall popularity since its launch, Pokemon GO remains a beloved title, and the annual GO Fest is a major draw for in-person participation. These events typically feature unique Pokemon spawns, including region-exclusive and previously unavailable Shiny variants, making the trip worthwhile for many. A global event usually complements the in-person celebrations.

For 2025, the festivities will kick off in Osaka, Japan (May 29 - June 1), followed by Jersey City, New Jersey (June 6-8), and concluding in Paris, France (June 13-15). Further details, including pricing and specific event features, are yet to be announced. Niantic promises more information closer to the dates.

2024 GO Fest: A Potential Indicator for 2025?

Anticipation for this year's Pokemon GO Fest is high. Historically, ticket prices have been relatively consistent. In 2023 and 2024, Japanese events cost approximately ¥3500-¥3600, while European prices decreased from roughly $40 USD in 2023 to $33 in 2024. Pricing appears regionally dependent; the US saw a consistent $30 price tag in both years, while the global event remained at $14.99.

While Pokemon GO has launched exciting new events this year, a recent Community Day ticket price increase (from $1 to $2 USD) has sparked player discontent. This has raised concerns about potential price hikes for GO Fest. Given this negative reaction to a small price adjustment, Niantic will likely approach any GO Fest price changes cautiously, especially considering the dedicated fanbase that travels for these special events.
