• Osaka, Japan: May 29th - June 1st

2024 GO Fest and Potential Implications for 2025 Pricing

The pricing of past Pokemon GO Fest events varied by region and year. While prices remained relatively consistent in some regions, others saw slight fluctuations. For example, the Japanese event saw minimal change, while the European event experienced a price decrease from $40 USD in 2023 to $33 USD in 2024. US pricing remained stable at $30 USD, and global tickets were consistently priced at $14.99.

Recent controversy surrounding a price hike for Pokemon GO Community Day tickets (from $1 to $2 USD) has sparked concern among players regarding potential increases for GO Fest tickets. Given the negative player reaction to this smaller price increase, Niantic is likely to approach any GO Fest pricing changes cautiously, especially considering the dedication of players who travel internationally for these events. The community's response to the Community Day price change may significantly influence the pricing strategy for the 2025 GO Fest.
