How to Get Tickets for Pokemon GO Fest 2024

If you plan to attend Pokemon GO Fest 2024, you need a ticket. Past events have sold out, and trainers who show up in person without a ticket won’t be able to participate.

To get tickets to an in-person event, players should visit the Niantic ticket portal and log in using the same account they use for Pokemon GO. Once here, you’ll select the location you want to attend.

Trainers can only buy a ticket for one day of the event., so you’ll need to pick a date. Trainers will only be able to access the event for their ticketed date. You will also pick a morning or afternoon timeslot, so make sure you plan your travel accordingly.

Ticket prices are listed in the location currency and come out to roughly $25 USD or local equivalent.

If you aren’t planning to attend in person and want to participate in the Global GO Fest event, you do not need to purchase a ticket. The paid ticket is an upgraded experience, which adds additional bonuses and rewards to the Global experience. The upgraded ticket can be purchased from the Pokemon GO web store or in-app store for $14.99 USD and includes a variety of event bonuses.

Pokemon GO Fest 2024 Research Encounter Pokemon

Niantic is still keeping a few surprises about featured event Pokemon under wraps, as suggested by their hush-hush attitude towards the subject of the official GO Tour t-shirt. Still, we have a good bit of info already on the Pokemon that will feature in GO Fest 2024.

As players guessed from the teaser trailer, Mythical Pokemon Marshadow will be a featured encounter with Special Research tasks as part of the in-person and global Go Fest events. From what we know so far, it appears that only paid ticket holders for the Global version of GO Fest 2024 will be able to unlock this special research and encounter Marshadow.

Much like with GO Tour, different Pokemon will spawn in different habitats during the event in each location. Featured Pokemon vary, so we’re breaking it down by location!
