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 span from late May to mid-June, offering fans a global celebration of Pokemon GO. While the overall player base has lessened since the game's launch, GO Fest remains a significant draw, providing unique Pokemon encounters, including region-exclusive and previously unseen Shiny forms.
The 2025 dates are: Osaka (May 29 - June 1), Jersey City (June 6-8), and Paris (June 13-15). Further details, including pricing and specific event features, are yet to be released by Niantic, with more information promised as the events approach.
2024 GO Fest: A Potential Indicator for 2025 Pricing?
Ticket pricing for past GO Fests has shown regional variations and minor year-to-year adjustments. However, a recent price increase for Pokemon GO Community Day tickets – from $1 to $2 USD – has sparked player concern. This increase could foreshadow a similar price hike for the 2025 GO Fests. Given the negative community reaction to the Community Day price change, Niantic is likely to proceed cautiously with GO Fest pricing, mindful of the dedicated fanbase who travel extensively for these events. Past pricing ranged from approximately ¥3500-¥3600 in Japan, $30-$40 in Europe (decreasing to $33 in 2024), and $30 in the US, with a consistent global price of $14.99.
