Pokemon GO's 2025 GO Fest locations have been announced: Osaka (May 29-June 1), Jersey City (June 6-8), and Paris (June 13-15). While details remain scarce, including pricing and specific event features, Niantic promises further information closer to the dates. This year's events will likely provide clues.
Past GO Fest ticket pricing varied geographically and slightly year-over-year. For example, the Japanese event cost approximately ¥3500-¥3600 in 2023 and 2024, while European prices dropped from roughly $40 in 2023 to $33 in 2024. US pricing remained consistent at $30, and global tickets were $14.99 both years.
Potential Price Increases and Community Backlash
A recent price hike for Pokemon GO Community Day tickets (from $1 to $2 USD) has sparked player discontent. This raises concerns about potential GO Fest price increases. Given the negative community reaction to this smaller price adjustment, Niantic might be cautious about raising GO Fest ticket prices, particularly considering the dedicated fanbase that travels for these events. The company will need to carefully consider the pricing strategy for the upcoming festivities.
